Yes..... but where are the gut shots you made ?
The seller above presents them for free.....
I expect that you wouldn´t buy this pedal - even when there is silver solder inside ?
Did you visit the sellers "shop"? : http://www.effectsconnection.com/oscommerce/

There´s a sucker born every minute - and too many of them end up in the bootweak pedal biz.
It was only "modified" because the switch had crapped out - like many I have seen - probably had one of those el cheapo x wing switches originally

Weird one this; circuit is OK but it uses 2 CC 1M resistors (to vref at the input and before the FET)
But worst of all
The pots are C100k's, reverse LOG potmeters. I HATE EM! I don't know what ProCo wants with this but this make it so hard to dial in a nice sound. I once before saw a Rat with reverse log potmeters but all the other versions I encountered had the normal Log's.
i just picked one of these up for 30$. i got home, didnt have an adapter, so i used a battery.... it sounded like crap. hopefully it was a dying battery... but would that make it sound all harsh? anyway is the original all buzzy like this one? is the turbo rat different from other rats other than the leds? how can i make it useable? ill problably put silicon diods in for softer clipping.
i decided to mod my crap turbo rat. i planned on doing a few, the first of which was to remove c6 and c7, and replace them with filters, placing r4 and r5 in parrallel for more gain and bass. i did this, boxed it back up, and there was no sound except when volume and gain were high and i hit really hard on the strings. it was an EXTREMELY gated sound.... what happened?
