Hey all!
So I'm interested in building the mouse. Reason being is that I have a RAT and it's
almost what I want it to do, but not quite there.
Here's a sample of what I recorded with my RAT for a reference point:
https://soundcloud.com/blackhandaus/rat-testI use a RAT in a lot of my Axe-FX patches. The real pedal always sounds better than the AFX model, but I've tweaked my AFX one to the point where it's a fairly different beast. That said, I noticed all the mods in the Mouse so maybe one of those mods can get me there?
Things I would like my RAT to do:
1) A bit more punch and headroom
The distortion in that clip is set to just under 9:00. I would like a bit more distortion, but things get fuzzy instead of bitey and I lose note definition. I know a RAT is meant to be kinda fuzzy, but a bit more headroom before the fuzz swoops in would be nice.
2) "Spittier" distortion.
I want it to crackle a little bit and sound nastier. Not in a shrill, harsh piercing way, but a bit less smooth and refined?
3) A Mid scoop and a small bass boost.
It's what I do to my AFX Modelled RAT.
Now there's 6 different modes to the BYOC Mouse. I'm not 100% clear on what each of those modes do. If somebody could explain what they do using words like: "Warmer" or "Fuzzier" or "Mid-Scooped" that would be lovely
. If there's a mode that does all of what I just described, kindly let me know, but it wouldn't surprise me if I'm chasing a bit of a unicorn RAT here...
