Nunotone® With ADA MP-1, RAT & CAB M+

Post by lll »

I'm learning these riffs on the fly and/or I don't have them down "cold", so they're not super-polished.

Gear:

strat w SH-5
ProCo RAT (just a hair on Distortion)
ADA MP-1
Two Notes Torpedo CAB M+ using G-12H Heritage Greenbacks (SM57, R121), poweramp and slight EQing
DAW
FabFilter Q3 hi pass (100Hz) lo pass (8KHz)
UAD Pultec EQP-1, MEQ-5
EMT140
Limiter
Tape Satch

Yep that's NUNO..... ;) I think PLX thinks we're pulling his leg or something............

What year is your RAT III? Is it running the LM308N chip or those newer 07D chips? I've often wondered how different the newer chipped versions are compared to the LM308N. :?

I was thinking of moving my Whiteface Rat but after I played it today....it's not gonna happen.... I bought a new 85 whiteface Reissue in 2013 and stupidly sold it.........won't happen again......... :oops: :roll:

The ADA sounds great as well.......always wanted to give one of those a try.......my luthier has a few he loves them and he a Jazz player.

Here's a 1984 Whitefaced Rat with the flat LM308N chip not the IC can.

My point being NUNO's famous Rat has the LM308N flat chip. The IC cans might not sound any different I really don't know but if you're serious about going for NUNO's tone ya gotta get what he was running. ;)

I'm not sure when they stopped using the metal can IC but it looks like in the 84 85 and up years it was the flat IC chip.

They never used the metal can IC in the ProCo RAT.

ProCo Sound always used the Motorola or the National Semiconductor Plastic Dual In-line Package (DIP) chips.

They switched to the OP07 in 1995 since the LM308 was discontinued in 1993.

There was some guy on Reverb selling LM308N chips and metal can LM308H's and stated the very early Rats used them/ I have no idea if that is true or not.

I thought you posted pics of the Metal can LM308H for your new dual channel pedal? Are you just fooling with me.... :lol:

No, from 1978 until 1995 they used the LM308 chip.

In 1995~1996 they switched to using the OP07.

It's a brand new RAT that's maybe 6 months old. Not sure of the chip, but it sounds great.

Ya grab an ADA MP-1 (unmodded version 1.38 if you can) before they go up up up in price.
