Members Ericnuke Posted April 15, 2006 Members Share Posted April 15, 2006 I've got a Vintage Rat, not old but that's the name of it, and as you all know these things reduce bass which is annoying. so my question is don't anyone know what resistor to change to stop the pedal from cutting bass. I know you can do this with a tube screamer so I assume that you can do the same with a rat. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aeonrevolution Posted April 15, 2006 Members Share Posted April 15, 2006 I have no idea in regards to your question, but if that is not possible a Dano Fish N Chips right after the Rat would do the trick for barely any $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KBN Posted April 15, 2006 Members Share Posted April 15, 2006 From www.diystompboxes.com"Increasing bass response in and out of distortion box If the box has a small value input or output capacitor like.01uF, you can change the capacitor to a larger value such as.1uF and this will feed the unit more bass. If you change the input capacitor to a larger value, you will put more bass into the distortion circuit. If you change the output capacitor to a larger value, you will output more bass after the distortion." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you can do this with a tube screamer so I assume that you can do the same with a rat. Any ideas? There is a 47 ohms resistor connected to a 2.2uF capacitor... it's the only 47R on the board. If you clip one end of it you will increase the bass response (a lot!). If you don't want to go that far, leave the 47R but change the 2.2uF to 10uF.

Members Pungent Posted April 15, 2006 Members Share Posted April 15, 2006 I second Jack's e-book. I bought it a while back and its an incredibly in-depth analysis of both pedals and what makes them the way they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RamaLama Fafafa Posted April 15, 2006 Members Share Posted April 15, 2006 Turn up the bass and turn down the treble on your amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skybone Posted April 15, 2006 Members Share Posted April 15, 2006 Try turning the filter knob anti clockwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RJpilot Posted April 16, 2006 Members Share Posted April 16, 2006 I have a V rat and that is my gripe about it...lots of string noise very high mids.. no punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
