PRE-OWNED Wampler Ratsbane Distortion Pedal

The Ratsbane: Compact Rat-Style Distortion with Precision Tone Shaping

Classic Rat-Inspired Distortion with Modern Flexibility

The Wampler Ratsbane Distortion distills the iconic filth and fury of the classic Rat circuit into a pedalboard-friendly enclosure while adding just the right set of modern features to enhance usability and tonal variety. From gritty overdrive to tight, harmonically rich distortion, this compact unit retains all the snarl of its vintage inspiration while offering refined control for the contemporary guitarist.

Flexible EQ and Clipping Options

The Ratsbane’s tailored EQ section includes a highly usable filter knob that lets you sweep from bright, biting leads to darker, smoother textures with ease. This filter interacts dynamically with the distortion control, providing a wide range of textures. The voice switch toggles between symmetrical and asymmetrical clipping, while the fat switch enhances the low end for heavier riffing and added depth, making the pedal highly adaptable across genres.

Analog Character in a Compact Footprint

Despite its miniature size, the Ratsbane boasts true bypass switching and premium analog circuitry designed to preserve your tone. Whether stacking with other gain pedals or running into a clean amp, the Ratsbane delivers raw, touch-sensitive distortion with minimal noise and high clarity. It’s a formidable tone tool for lead players and riff machines alike.

Built to Wampler’s Exacting Standards

As with all Wampler pedals, the Ratsbane is hand-built in the USA using high-grade components, ensuring durability and long-term reliability. The pre-owned unit listed here shows only very light play wear and minor scratching along the right side and bottom, but remains fully functional and clean.

Ready to Drop In and Rip
