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.

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 Keeley Super Rodent is a high-performance modification of the ProCo RAT distortion pedal by Robert Keeley, enhancing the original RAT circuit with premium components, additional clipping options, and refined controls that extend the RAT's tonal range while preserving its essential aggressive distortion character. The Super Rodent is part of Keeley's long tradition of boutique pedal modifications that established the brand's reputation before their transition to original designs.
