It's sludgier at higher gain settings and isn't as cutting at lower settings where a 'traditional' RAT usually works well as a boost for a high gain amp. A RAT has this low-midrange growl that sounds amazing, but it still remains tight. It's kinda contradictory, but it works. It's gnarly and guttural. The Iron Horse is more of a wild beast than a cutting long sword, so to speak. If you want something tamer, but still mean and Doomy, check out either an original or a boutique clone. Acid Age Electronics have one that I'd like to try next. The JAM Pedals Rattler, Retro Sonic Distortion, Freakshow FX Brown Rabbit, CMAT Brown Plague, Fuzzrocious Rat Tail, Suhr Riot, Montgomery Appliances Longtail, Hartman LM308, Lovekraft Chupacabra, etc. are all RAT clones or derivatives to consider. I know the Retro Sonic, Freakshow FX, Montgomery and Suhr well enough to say they're all different. The Longtail is great for boosting but not as a standalone distortion. The Suhr Riot is great for tight, modern high gain, but not as good for sludge. The Brown Rabbit is balanced, as the Retro Sonic Distortion. They're not polite as such, they just don't have the 'character' some of the others have. That's not a criticism. Some would say it's a compliment. If you find the Iron Horse too unwieldy like I do, a more manageable and predictable variety might be better. I'd like to try Nick's Volt Thrower and the Acig Age Electronics versions next.

Thought I had some Lava cable issues, but it turns out the Pharaoh has a fucked up footswitch that doesn't fully engage all of the time. Pissing me off.

Jonesing to sneak a reverb back on there.

I'm in a new band called Khemmis. We just released a 3 song demo/ep/whateveryouwatntocallit. If you like Sleep, Red Fang, Sabbath, and Pallbearer, you might dig us. Or you might not. Whatever. It's free, so stop complaining.

None that I'm aware of ever made it to the east coast for me to try and score. maybe if I start saving now by the time u finish it I could buy it off u and have it shipped, unfortunately not likely but a man can dream.

I have an old ACC 1x18 like you are describing and I put the Cerwin Vega in it. It is awesome. I still have the ACC original speaker, perhaps a trade could happen?
