The Wampler Ratsbane Mini Distortion Pedal is their take on the classic ProCo RAT pedal but with more gain capabilities, a powerful voice switch for modern high gain usability and delivered in a pedalboard friendly mini size.

If you are looking for a single pedal solution with multiple degrees of gain from light overdrive to full out saturated fuzz tones, then you'll surely love the Ratsbane, turn the distortion control all the way down for a deep but powerful gain booster, crank it up and you will find rich harmonic overtones and a throaty, fuzz-like distortion. The filter control works backwards to a normal tone control (the same as the original RAT) turn it counter clockwise to cut straight through the mix with precision and high frequency attack that lets your tone soar with absolute clarity, turn it clockwise to filter the top end for a warm, buttery, yet clear tone.

Wampler have expanded the versatility of the pedal by adding gain and voicing switches. The Gain switch offers three distinct choices: the middle gives you the normal gain for a RAT type pedal, the left position offers a firm yet smooth boost in gain with a little more mids and high end and the right position delivers an insane level of creamy distortion. The Voice switch alters the compression and clipping of this pedal, the left position is the normal voicing for a RAT pedal and the right position tightens the distortion to be more manageable with greater levels of gain while rolling back some of the fuzz qualities to deliver a modern high gain distortion sound.
