RAT clones?

So my RAT’s dead. 

The enclosure always got on my wick, and hated the non std pin for the power (ran it on batteries).  What’s a good alternative?

Not so keen on the mooer one, as I like a bigger footprint for a distortion.

The pedal parts kit is great if you fancy a self-build

The Biyang DS-10 Max Distortion is basically the Mooer clone but in a bigger box - think they can be had for around £40.

Apparently moisture, and most connections and some components are goosed. Time for some silica gel in the old pedal board bag.

I thought it was a dodgy input jack, and I was struggling to repair it myself, so I gave it to a local repair guy. He still has it. If you want when I get it back I'll message you.

This looks cool! I've always liked the overall feel and sound of a Rat but something in the mids always annoys me and grates after a while. What do freqs 1 and 2 do to the tone?

Gives you some nice gain sculpting options. They work interactively with the time control and the clipping selector. Put simply, it will help you go beyond just the typical Rat style distortion.
