The Drone of the Lonely Rodent

Lent a pedal to a mates partner for her punk band, but it came back, so I added one more to the pedal pile.
The Rat!!! A true classic pedal, but one I haven't ever got much use out of, because not brutal enough lol. Also inspiration for this week was finding mice in the house, so double rodent action I suppose.
Did dig how the pedal stacks well, and just managed to get enough edge from it to be heavy-ish.
The last solo section I actually placed the delay pre-distortion, and that's how you can make a delay screeeeeaaaaammmmm!
Pedals:
Build your Own Clone Rat: A great all in one Rat pedal, with the normal, turbo Rat and a third setting I changed up to be a bit different. Real simplified explanation is LED's produce gain based off their voltage drop, so red LED's have the most gain, green less and so on, I actually found an Ultra Violet LED to have the least voltage drop, and its more of a boost that becomes a fuzz at the top of its travel, so 3 different sounds in the one!
Modified Ross Compressor: A Ross adaption of the MXR Dynasty Comp, actually better than some comps for not totally killing my dynamics, while still pushing nicely.
