Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The JAM Pedals Rattler is a premium RAT-style distortion pedal from the Greek boutique builder JAM Pedals, built around a refined LM308 op-amp topology that captures the aggressive, open, mid-present character of the vintage ProCo RAT distortion circuit. JAM Pedals applies premium component selection and hand-building to produce a RAT circuit with improved consistency, tighter component tolerances, and enhanced tonal character. The Rattler suits rock, punk, alternative, and metal contexts where the aggressive, cutting distortion voice of the RAT is desired with boutique refinement.
The JAM Pedals Rattler V2 is a handmade boutique distortion pedal built in Athens, Greece, based on the ProCo RAT circuit architecture. It produces a dense, aggressive distortion with a characteristic low-pass filter that tames high-frequency harshness while maintaining harmonic complexity. The Rattler V2 delivers smooth, compressed distortion suitable for rock, hard rock, and classic metal styles, and its filter control allows players to shape the brightness from brash and cutting to warm and thick. As with all JAM Pedals products, each unit is assembled by hand with selected components to maintain circuit integrity. The Rattler V2 pairs well with both single-coil and humbucker guitars and responds positively to amplifier gain staging, working well as a standalone distortion or as a boost into a driven amplifier.
