The JAM Pedals Rattler MK2: Legendary Distortion with Modern Versatility
The JAM Pedals Rattler MK2 takes the revered characteristics of the original Rattler and elevates them with a custom-designed op-amp, additional clipping options, and a mid-boost footswitch for tonal enhancement. Whether you're a fan of classic distortion or looking for more modern, versatile tones, the Rattler MK2 has you covered. Featuring a proprietary discrete-component op-amp, this pedal delivers the same open, dynamic, tube-like feel that made the original so iconic, now with even more control and flexibility.
Custom Op-Amp for Authentic Distortion
The heart of the Rattler MK2 is its custom-designed op-amp, built with discrete components to preserve the dynamic, fat, and creamy distortion that players love. With the original LM308 chips long discontinued, JAM Pedals crafted their own op-amp to ensure reliable, consistent tone, while maintaining the feel and response of the original design. This ensures that the Rattler MK2 will continue to deliver authentic, vintage-inspired distortion for years to come.
Clipping Options and Mid Boost for Added Control
The Rattler MK2 offers two distinct clipping options via a toggle switch. Choose between the original asymmetrical clipping for a familiar, natural distortion feel, or switch to the new symmetrical clipping for tighter, more focused saturation. The additional mid-boost footswitch allows you to engage a custom-voiced mid boost, adding extra dimension to your tone without just increasing volume—perfect for cutting through the mix with enhanced clarity and presence.
Simple, Intuitive Controls
The Rattler MK2 is easy to use with its simple, intuitive layout. Three knobs—Output Level (L), Gain (G), and Tone (T)—let you shape your sound effortlessly. The right footswitch turns the Rattler on or off, while the left footswitch engages the mid boost for added tonal versatility. Whether you're after subtle overdrive or full-blown distortion, the Rattler MK2 delivers the goods.
