    I wanted the Iron Horse to beat the RAT because I'm starting to gather some Walrus pedals.. it's definitely clean and pretty versatile but I don't hear that RAT sizzle that I like.

    Wow, the Iron Horse in the uncompressed mode is awesome.

    I am so torn. I have a Rat and love the tone that I get when running bass synths through it, its just too noisy. Now the question is do I want the higher end harmonics of the Woodcutter or the chunkier sound of the Iron Horse?? I want my bass synths/acid boxes to scream and growl [the Rat gives me this but the added noise is not acceptable to me), which is why I am leaning Woodcutter. Any thoughts? I wish shops in my area carried these things so I would have to guess! UGh.

    This is actually a fantastic idea and really well executed. Tone is so subjective and I think it really comes down the individual ear to decide which is best. My vote goes to the Iron horse because it is, IMO, the most versatile 😁🤘

    I'm not sure how you do it. Top notch gear demos. Sweetwater thinks they do good vids. They're ok, but not like this. Mindblowing.

    @christophergraham6684 3 роки тому

    The Woodcutter has rich harmonics, more like my 80's ProCo Rat. That being said, even the Rat 2 is hard to beat. If it's sheer "Rattiness" you're after, kinda hard to beat a ProCo Rat!

    What is the rationale for demoing pedals through a Yamaha THR10? I had one once-great little practice amp-but that’s not going to be a good representation of users’ experiences.

      You should try playing it in person. I personally dont like use a distortion pedal but the iron horse is the only distortion that's ever made me reconsider that.
