Howdy...

Long time since I've lurked here, let alone posted. I'm still a noob, but now I'm a noob with a brand new soldering iron :evil:

Anyway, the title pretty much says it all. Anyone got any ideas on how to cram an extra footswitch in there, so I could turn my Rat into a 2 channel booster/distortion? Seems like mission impossible to me, but I figured it was worth at least asking you guys...

Thanks.

Btw, I'm indeed talking about a Rat2, no big box or anything.

Personal opinion? Don't. Sorry.
I consider the Ruetz mod one of the most boring and uninspred mods for a RAT and definitely not worth the footswitch. I guess the only reason it gained such popularity is because it can be done without any skills. (My pedal is better because it's modded :secret: )
Sorry. Plain out of planes.

I agree with Dirk; there are much better mods out there to make the Rat more bass friendly...... I use mine also on bass without that Reutz mod..... and it sounds great!!
