Members stevemcb Posted January 4, 2013 Members Share Posted January 4, 2013 The Rat2 definitely seems like it would take abuse (or give it for that matter) better than the Black Secret, and it's definitely easier to aim a foot at. I own both, love both, but haven't yet set them up side-by-side for a shootout. Enjoy your Rat2. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means that with the gain maxed it's a little more blown out sounding, but at lower settings it's pretty damn cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was the only guitarist in the band I'd consider this a little more, but since there is two guitarists I'm not fussed about too many lower mids/bottom end at the moment.

Sounds sensible. Also it'd totally depends on the rest of your setup as to which one works better anyway. I prefer the Rat to the Black secret because it's a better shape to stomp on.

Yeah I have my pitch box sideways on my board so I am less likely to stomp on the controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
