Also, depending on how close to clone: Idiotbox Blower Box & Landphil

Aw you mean using online resources instead of just posting without thinking? Boo. :D
I feel like looser clones are what I was really hoping to hear about. Like isn't the Roger Mayer Mongoose a rat clone? Also just wanna talk about rats.

Does ProCo count for making clones of their original circuit? Totally got high on their own supply.

The fat rat is a us made rat with some switchable mods, soundwise very similar to the 90's "vintage rat", I have on one my board, thing is badass :thumb:

I've always been dissuaded by the price but intrigued by the size. Bigger is better, right?

Rat clones are more like a booteek trend, no?
