Yeah, you're probably right.

If you're just looking for a straight up British drive, The GeekMacDaddy British Ball Breaker is the way to go. Geek's a friend of mine, I can testify that his builds are top notch.

I'm guess it's may not be what you're looking for, since you mentioned it in the original post, but I wanted to put a good word for tenwatt's Rat clone. It's a really fantastic box and even more versatile than the Rat itself, cause you get 3 different clipping types. Mine is gonna live on my board for a looong time

Unfortunately, I've never tried a RAT before period but I've heard pretty good things about them. I'm pretty sure one of my friends have one, I'll have to go see. I'm seeing them show up in more and more of those Disney band-camp/bandslam type movies, even a movie called "Lemonade Mouth". Good stuff really

Wait, they used a Rat in Lemonade Mouth? Do you know what the entire rig was? I love their sound.

Speaking of tenwatt's RAT clone, I don't suppose someone wants to post a demo on a YT vid for us discerning consumers? :P

Yes, they do. Unfortunately, I do not know the guitarist's full pedalboard at this time BUT everytime my Niece is over we both enjoy watching Lemonade Mouth so i will be sure to be on the lookout!!

Thanx! He was saying a tube screamer may not be what he was looking for...not the RAT.

I've built a few of those RATs now. I'm currently working on one for myself. I kinda became fond of it while testing them out.

Yeh, looking back, I guess misread the original post. Now that I've realized that, I would tell the OP to seriously consider it. It's so versatile, and the price is killer, so you can't really go wrong!

I might just take you up on that offer. However, I promised I would buy myself a new Strat before school starts, so you might not get an order for one until then. I need to hear what it sounds like, so please post audio or something.
