A new update to the Jam Pedals Rattler brings welcome changes and extended functionality to both the guitar and bass versions of the ProCo Rat-based distortion pedal.
What’s New With The Rattler MKII
For Jam’s second go-around with their reimagining of the legendary ProCo Rat distortion pedal, they’ve added a some extra features not typically found on other iterations of pedals based on this same topology.
- A second footswitch to engage a standalone mid-boost
- A custom op-amp to emulate the sound and feel of the original LM308 chip
- A clipping toggle switch to select between asymmetrical (like the original) or symmetrical clipping
- Click-less footswitch using relays for a soft touch on/off operation
- Selectable start-up state, which allows the use to choose whether the pedal is on or off by default when power is applied
The Rattler MKII On Bass
For bass players, Jam is offering this pedal with an inverted color-scheme, but don’t be fooled, the Bass Rattler MKII has some extra tricks up it’s sleeve that make it a flexible tool for adding distortion to lower frequencies.
- A wet/dry blend or “Mix” control to retain clarity and articulation, even with heavy distortion
- A second footswitch to engage a higher gain stage for quick moments of heavy saturation
- Higher headroom than the guitar-counterpart
The new Jam Pedals Rattler MKII is available now at Thomann* for $218.00 / £202.00 / 239.00€.
