Description

JAM Pedals presents the new and improved Rattler MKII distortion pedal, designed to bring the legendary tones of early 80s distortion into a new era of decadent saturation. This latest version is packed with innovative features and enhancements that will delight guitarists looking to refine their sound.

The JAM Pedals Rattler MKII now includes a mid boost feature, activated by a second footswitch, which adds new dimensions to your tone. This isn't just a volume boost but a true tone enhancer, allowing for internal control over the boost’s level and bass content. This ensures it delivers a rich, full sound through any setup.

At the heart of the new JAM Pedals Rattler MKII is a proprietary custom op amp. With the original LM308 chips long discontinued, JAM Pedals developed their own op amp, featuring discrete components to preserve the open, dynamic, and tube amp feel that made the original Rattler so revered. This custom design ensures a high fidelity tone that captures the essence of the original while providing a reliable supply for the future.

Guitarists will appreciate the onboard 2 way toggle switch, offering a choice between symmetrical and asymmetrical clipping options for distinct saturation profiles. This flexibility allows you to dial in the perfect amount of grit and character, making your sound uniquely yours.

For smoother operation, the JAM Pedals Rattler MKII features click less footswitching, ensuring a seamless performance every time. Additionally, you can select the startup state of the JAM Pedals Rattler MKII to be either on or off upon receiving power, giving you more control over your setup.

Since its introduction in 2009, the JAM Pedals Rattler has been a favourite among guitarists for its rich, harmonically textured tones. The 2024 edition brings several significant updates, including the new clipping options, mid boost, and custom op amp. These enhancements make the JAM Pedals Rattler MKII an essential addition to any guitarist's pedalboard, delivering the iconic tones that have defined guitar sound for generations.

The Rattler MKII distortion pedal by JAM Pedals continues to evolve, offering unparalleled sound quality and versatility. With its rich history and modern innovations, the Rattler is poised to inspire a new generation of guitarists.
