JHS Pedals All American Distortion (vintage RAT)
One of the most
sought after effects in history is the vintage RAT that has been raised
high by everyone from David Gilmore to Jeff Beck. It’s known for its
unbelievable range of tones that span from clean/grit all the way to
compressed sustaining fuzz. By popular demand and the cheap construction
of the current reissues we decided to take on the task of introducing
our very own version of an American classic that to our surprise has
more options and mojo than we originally set out for.
First off the All
American offers a more focused frequency range than any pedal in its
class. The bass and mids melt perfectly into a combination that can make
a 1x12 combo sound as if you have a stack of cabs backstage. The spiky
and brutal highs of the original design have been tamed and are now
submitting in a very pleasing way that allows you to actually use the
tone/filter knob past 25%. Our biggest addition is our sweep knob that
gives you instant control over the gain structure as a whole. This
allows for perfect and precise tuning of the breakup and clipping in the
circuit. We decided we wouldn’t stop there but instead add a three way
mini gain switch that allows LED/Silicon/Open clipping for one
explosively versatile pedal!
Soaring sustain and heavy
overdrive that bites at your ankles make the All American a force to be
reckoned with.
