    JAM Pedals Rattler Mk2 Distortion Pedal Features

    • Custom op-amp: With the LM308 chips being long discontinued and hard to find, we developed a custom op-amp to ensure a dependable supply. Our proprietary design, featuring discrete components, preserves the open, dynamic, and tube-amp feel that made the original Rattler so revered.
    • Clipping Options: Choose between new symmetrical and original asymmetrical clipping options for distinct feel and saturation profiles.
    • Mid Boost Footswitch: Use the second footswitch to engage a mid boost before the Rattler, adding new dimensions to your tone. Don’t think of this as a volume boost but as a tone enhancer!
    • True Bypass
    • Works with optional 9V DC adaptor (tip-negative)
