The Wampler Ratsbane Distortion is a full-range distortion pedal that can go from creamy smooth drive to full-blown fuzzy dirt. This versatile little gain machine features an improved filter control the further you crank it the more cutting your tone becomes- from a warm creamy response to a more piercing high-frequency attack. As the name suggests this was designed to become your main distortion pedal; sheer versatility and its rich rounded tone guarantees this will be the case. It wouldnt be a Wampler pedal without a few intuitive additions to the circuitry though: in this case two new toggle switches help bring the thunder. On the left is Gain which alters your gain stages: flick left for a firmer tighter response flick right for a creamier smoother response. On the right is Voice which subtly alters the clipping and compression to deliver more modern high-gain tones. Get experimenting to find your ideal combination.

Distortion clips the waveform more firmly than overdrive, generating dense upper harmonics, longer sustain and a more compressed response. Circuit topology and filtering decide whether the sound is tight and focused, broad and aggressive, smooth or deliberately abrasive. Gain sets the amount of clipping, while pre- and post-distortion tone controls strongly influence low-end definition, midrange presence and high-frequency texture.

Designed for microphone-level signals and the frequency, dynamics and feedback behaviour of the human voice. Input gain, balanced connections, phantom power and pitch tracking may be provided so effects respond correctly before the signal reaches a mixer or PA.
