Description
JAM Pedals built the Rattler MKII as a faithful evolution of the original circuit rather than a reinvention. At its heart sits a specially developed op-amp built from discrete components, chosen specifically to preserve the open, dynamic feel that made the first Rattler a favorite among players who want distortion that still breathes.
- Custom discrete op-amp circuit inherited from the original Rattler design
- Retains an open, dynamic response rather than a flattened, compressed one
- Distortion character suited to sitting early in the chain, ahead of modulation and time-based effects
Where a lot of distortion pedals squash your pick attack into a uniform wall, the Rattler MKII lets your playing dynamics come through — dig in and it pushes harder, back off and it cleans up predictably. That responsiveness makes it a strong choice for players building a signal chain around amp-like touch sensitivity rather than a fixed, saturated tone. Place it near the front of your pedalboard to shape your core drive tone before boosts, drives, or time-based effects join in, and let the discrete op-amp do the work of keeping things articulate even when pushed hard.
For guitarists who value feel as much as gain, the Rattler MKII offers a distortion voice that stays connected to how you actually play.
