Members jackpotjewell Posted February 11, 2008 Members Share Posted February 11, 2008 I think the breeders use an acoustic guitar into some kind of distortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hangwire Posted February 11, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 11, 2008 turbo rat = rat with more middy gain? i remember trying one out a long time ago and thinking it sounded like a blanket over the amp... maybe i should look at a regular rat...

Members SpectralJulian Posted February 11, 2008 Members Share Posted February 11, 2008 Oh. Sometimes I only read the first post first. But anyways, I think Ira Kaplan uses a RAT. That's what he was using when I saw Yo La Tengo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members penelope twee Posted January 17, 2009 Members Share Posted January 17, 2009 Sonic Youth use Sovtek Big Muffs (usually green or white), RATs, and MXR Blue Boxes. Which songs/passages feature the Blue Box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jules-RM Posted January 17, 2009 Members Share Posted January 17, 2009 Thurston I would get a Rat (big box - reissue or original if you can find one) or a Keeley Rat 2 over the Turbo Rat. Turbo Rats are cool, but I didn't get on with it for my own songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
