Members 5ththrax Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 Im pretty sure that pedal isnt for low gain and if u set it at low gain, you will have no sustain and not a great sound. Basically the reason....its a distortion pedal lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soulgolem Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 Get the Keeley mod and low gain settings will give you a great overdriven sound, very usuable. Not forgetting the high gain sounds are enhanced aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members angus_old Posted January 3, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 maybe i will get it modded, it's pretty much the only distortion i use anymore. i have a vintage rat RI and it does a good OD sound. it doesn't have any sustain but it has a metallic twanginess that i like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members L6Sguy Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 Originally posted by onbongos yeah. on my other pedals it just cleans up the sound, but this is like another level control one involving huge amounts of gain. starts at zero, and goes to 300. but, zero is still zero. many pedals go 1 to whatever, cuz the makers dont wanna confuse a population that is littered with stoners, drunks, and halfwits. i've used a rat for years without setting the drive above 9oclock more than a few times. a rat does lighter od just fine. by raising the level at the output stage, it can also absolutely smash an amp's front-end, but without all sorts of crunch provided by the pedal, but rather the clear crunch provided by not heaping gain gain gain at every stage.
