Members theelectic Posted May 9, 2006 Members Share Posted May 9, 2006 All Rats have LM308 chips. That's what the circuit was prototyped with, and it's integral to the sound of the pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members theelectic Posted May 10, 2006 Members Share Posted May 10, 2006 Originally posted by onbongos the new ones are using a texas instruments chip, that's what the auction said It's still an LM308. Different manufacturers make LM308s. National, Motorola, TI, etc. One particular manufacturer's LM308 may be more desirable than another's, but they're all LM308s.
