ProCo White Face Rat VS ProCo Rat Reissue

The first pedal on the list is full of controversy. It's full of argument. Naturally, I’m talking about the White Face Rat. I agree with you that it also makes an awesome band name.

This pedal, released around ‘84, ‘85, gets its name because the iconic Rat logo is black inside of the white box on the enclosure. Legend has it that this is the greatest sounding Rat on the face of the earth, probably because it looks the coolest. Now, I want to believe that, but at heart I’m a skeptic. I need to see some hard evidence first. 

In the episode, we shot it out against the newer ProCo Rat reissue that everyone hates on. Yes, they're produced a little bit differently in 2020 than they were in the mid ’80s, but the circuit is supposedly the same. After Nick and I jammed with both pedals, listened to the recordings, did our homework, this was my conclusion: these sound identical in this musical scenario. Seriously, when I'm switching, I don't feel or hear any difference. It is the same exact circuit and the same exact sound.

Let me clarify something here. I know that in a lot of shootout pedal videos, the guitarist will put the knobs on both pedals at noon and judge it that way.

Which is, and I say this with love in my heart, 100% wrong.

No two pedals sound the same if you set them at noon, not even two brand-new Lucky Cats or Super Bolts. In every single case, there's parts tolerance, which means that there is a range to these pots. They're not perfectly designed. It's impossible to make a thousand pots that have the exact same resistance when you use it, so you have to massage the knobs a little bit, pull things in, and get things closer to each other. The circuits are still identical, and they will sound exactly the same if you take the time to find the right tolerance and the range for each.

The second important factor here is the chip. I know that lot of you are saying, “What about the chip? The old White Face Rat uses the OM3, and it’s just better.”

...Yeah, not really. The chip isn’t that important. The important thing is whether or not the reissue sounds and responds like the original, and ProCo nailed it.

Короче, ребзя, поменял тут проигрыватель на выигрыватель:

Отдал LPC 57 reissue pre historic и взял Axis SS с палисандровым грифом и .....Less+
И последний (всеми ненавидимый новодел, еще и тонкий) звучит более ЛПшно, чем гнусавый pre historic. От така история. Два по цене одного ☝🏿

Slam77, укажи какое сопротивление те надобно, так проще будет 

MR, Они ошиблись в описании. Наверное скопировали цифру с Гибсоновского сайта, где стоит девятка в графе "аутпут".

Но у Гибсон там не указаны килоОмы. Там инфа выхлопа по десятибальной шкале.

Вы о чем вообще? Что за запрет лимонного масла, откуда это взялось?
