the Guitar Pedal Thread
october1983:
With the Rat, if you're vaguely confident with a soldering iron there's a fairly simple mod you can do that gives you the option of a warmer, softer distortion that's a little more overdrive-y at lower gain levels. I posted about it earlier in the thread.
Here, this is the thing: http://www.diyguitaramp.com/rat.html. Only I added a switch to it, rather than cutting the resistor permanently.

Speaking of pedal mods, I just got my Boss DD-6 back from Analogman for a high-end cut mod. Since the DD-6 is a digital delay (fail), the decays are super treble-y and pretty harsh to the ear. It sounds infinitely better than before. Every decay is pure and warmer than the previous. I will probably get a true analog delay at some point (probably a Memory Man) in the not-so-near future, but for now my modded DD-6 is awesome.

Oh, right. The Reutz mod. Why anyone would ever want to change the way a RAT sounds is something I just do not understand.
Ballard:
There's a way to install a Ruetz RAT switch so that it's reversible.
imapiratearg:
Yeah, I know.
