Did Crunch Box or Dirty Little Secret Beat Whiteface RAT for High Gain Rhythm/Lead ?

[Baminated]

So Far, the 85 WF RAT RI RULES for my Amplike RHYTHM CRUNCH Tones. I like to set up a Dual Showman or Marshall SUperbass SET CLEAN, not to the breakup point. In other words, I like to get all of the crunch out of the pedal.

I've put my 85 WF RAT RI up against many booteek pedals known for high gain, but that RAT wins everytime. Just keeping an open mind and always seeing if something can boot it off of the board.

Some pedals were a little better at lead, but the RAT would beat them on rhythm crunch and even be alittle smoother for leads.

The Crunch Box & DLS have got my attention now

Honestly the DLS is not a high gain pedal. It is however, a couple things:

-A "foundation" pedal if you are playing into smaller cleaner amps, yet need to condition fuzz, treble boost, or OD in a way that you'd otherwise use an amp that is already breaking up some. Sure I could have worded that better!
-On it's own it behaves more like a mid-generation Brit stack in that the single notes are relatively clean without buzz yet when you twack a chord it crunches. That single note to chord transition is really the magic to the DLS, IMO.

So... For high gain, I am not sure the DLS is the right solution for your needs.

I would recommend a tone freak severe its extremely open and you never have to worry about losing the clarity of your notes no matter how high gain you go. The brite switch also is key. I def think you should try it out.
