No, the UAD Pultecs.

Forgot to add I also used the FabFilter Q3 for hi pass (100Hz) and lo pass (8KHz) - as the first EQ

It's going to have an OP07 operational amplifier chip in it.

I've heard side-by-side comparisons with new & old RAT's with both chips, and it's damn near impossible to tell them apart.

That's because the performance of the LM308 and the OP07 are almost identical:

Hey PLX can you please post up that photo of Nuno's Rat setting so III can see it...he may already have this information but I thought I would pass it on to him as well. 8-)

Hopefully PLX can post the pic I sent him soon so you can see the marks NUNO made for the roadie but until then here are the settings someone snapped of NUNO's 85/86 Rat sitting on top of his Marshall at some show. 8-)

Distortion Just barely under the 9 oclock line

Filter Straight up at Noon 12 O'clock on the line

Volume Exactly at 3 O'clock right on the line

You may already know all this but I wanted to pass it along if you haven't seen the pics... I don't have a pic hosting site since I let my photobucket go so I can't post pics easily otherwise I would post it.

That's how I have mine, except the Volume is at 2 o'clock and the Distortion is just a hair lower than above.

Set this way in front of t00b ampage set to dirty, it's more of a "nicer-izer" a la EP-3 preamp, than using the RAT as the primary source of clipping (such as the Friedman BEODD in front of my '66 Deluxe, where the BEODD is the source of clipping). Although the RAT excels as a primary source of clipping as well.

I'd put the RAT in the same category as the fabled Klon Centaur (I have a J Rockett Archer IKON):

They both have a very pleasing clipping sound... along with a perfect EQing for most applications.

This speaks to what lots of RAT experts say about variances between different units..

There is almost no tonal difference between the OP AMP chips used across the decades. The difference is in the 5% ~ 20% tolerances in the pots.

That's why it's possible to dial up the same tone on different units - but you may have to set the controls slightly different.
