Incredible! I got this as a pre-christmas gift for a poor friend. She just started out, was looking for a versatile distortion and not knowing about her gear i was: Can't go wrong with a rat. Of all the cheaper non-boutique rat clones AND the original (as it is cheap as well) this is most propably the most versatile. Especially the take on the "Turbo" is great because it provides ample room for the process of breaking up the sound in low gain settings. Great blues crunch in the turbo rat. The "fat" mode packs some compression, also not bad to experience when still novice. This one really beats the mooer and joyo.
