Rat Race
The Overgain Experiment Rat Race is a delightfully unhinged distortion pedal that'll have your guitar snarling and howling like a caged animal. This is no tame overdrive - this is pure, unadulterated gain that'll rip your tone to shreds in the most gloriously chaotic way. Inspired by the legendary ProCo Rat, the Rat Race takes that classic sound and dials it up to 11, with a relentless, almost fuzz-like distortion that'll cut through any mix. But this isn't just a one-trick pony - the pedal's versatile controls let you sculpt your tone, from a smooth, creamy crunch to a wild, unhinged roar. Crank the Distortion knob and prepare to be transported to sonic oblivion, as the Rat Race unleashes a torrent of harmonically-rich gain that'll make your riffs sound like they're being played through a wall of amplifiers. The Filter knob lets you tame the high-end bite, while the Volume control ensures you can blast your audience into submission. Rumor has it that Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore was an early adopter of the Rat Race, using its uncompromising sound to craft his band's signature brand of alt-rock mayhem. If you're after a distortion pedal that'll inject some wild, untamed energy into your playing, the Overgain Experiment Rat Race is an absolute must-try.
