Similarity
citedBlended 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. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

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.

The MXR M249 Super Badass Dynamic O.D. is a MOSFET-clipping overdrive built around Output, Tone, and Gain controls plus a Boost/Cut voicing switch, covering everything from subtle grit that nudges a tube amp toward breakup to thick, almost fuzz-like saturation. It preserves the underlying rig's natural tone rather than imposing a fixed pedal voicing, and its touch-dynamic response means pick attack alone can shift the tone from sparkling clean-ish to dirty. It's particularly effective driving an amp that's already sitting on the edge of breakup, and stacks well with other overdrives for layered gain.
