How do you make a RAT even better? Send it off to Modest Mike and have him work his magic. This is a great pedal and I’m going to regret selling it but I have to thin the herd unfortunately. Just an FYI, Mike sells RAT 3 pedals on his site with these same mods for $199.From the Modest Mike website as he can explain it better than I can:After intense study of mods from the AMZ Ebook and more study of the original Ruetz Rat mod, I decided to take one apart. That’s right, I dissected a Rat! Seems most musicians like the Rat, but a common complaint is "It's too harsh."I wanted to smooth out that harshness, so I changed out key capacitors, resistors, and experimented with different  op amps. I added a germanium diode in series with the other diodes. ​What a difference! For starters, this mod takes the edge off of the harshness, You can crank this baby way up now, and the sound does not get mushy. Our modified Rat get a full bodied sound, warm in the middle, and the sound remains transparent when you push it.  Due to popular demand, we have recently added a gain switch to this mod. This toggle switch allows you to choose between the smoother gain of the Ruetz mod, or flip back to full stock gain.
