Besides the deucetone, that is. Looking for one stomp that will initiate a signal to both amps I use.

Ymmv, but I never noticed more than a sublte different between the different IC version rats I used. And not even in a better/worse kinda way, just different.
Never realy understood the whole LM308 craze :idk:

It's like people wanting DMM's with that one MN2whatever chip. (I preferred my 2000s reissue big box DMM over the Howard Davis calibrated 80s one I had) Or wanting Jags/Jazzys to have the ORIGINAL VINTAGE ACCURATE switches/trem/bridge. People think some shit is the best because its original when its just different (if at all).

It's the whole if I just get that one "perfect one" I'l be good! I'll play better, sound better, be a better person, cure cancer with my tonez :thumb: Or I use the "perfect one" so MY tonez is best and everyone that don't use what I use don't has real tonez :thumb:

I've got to admit the new EHX offering is kind of genius. Just put out an unmodified Rat 2 with the modern equivalent of the LM308 (i.e. something that's technically a bit crap and cheap for them to get, just like the LM308's where) in their pedalboard-friendly enclosure. And any actual changes they have made to the circuit are subtle; as mentioned in that demo, a bit more volume and slightly smoother taper on the filter.

FWIW, I recently got hold of a Deucetone for cheap and it's awesome. Uses OP07's, a crappy jfet, and has just a couple of component values that are different to my 87-89 Rat. Sounds 98% the same. Doesn't quite get the same results at super-low gain, but since it's got clean/dirty modes I think I can live with that. Plus the wiring options are great, as I like the option of having a Rat before and after my reverb/delays. And having both at the same time creates a lovely Rat Sandwich. I had to open it up to switch round all the ins and outs though but it was worth it.

I need to build a deuce-clone before EHX beat me to it. :cool:

I did an A/B between the new chip, an lm308 chip, and a metal can LM308 in a late 80s rat and didn't really find any real difference. Now clipping diodes, that's where the fun is. All my rats are secretly turbo rats
