I want one to put in my rack. Who still makes them for a affordable price?
 
All I've seen is the old Tube Drivers...someone was selling one here not too long ago...maybe it's still around.
 
jbaxe is selling his rackmount Chandler tube driver and his RAT rack unit. I want the Chandler but I can't make it happen right now! :doh:
 
I thought the V-Twin was a pre-amp? I know they sold a floor version, but the guys I know that had them always used them as pre-amps into a combo/head's power section.

I wasn't sure. I thought it went into the front of an amp, which wouldn't be ideal for a preamp. But I'm not sure.
 
Boss ROD-10

half rack space, 9VDC,

three modes

ridiculously good overdrive :rock:
alright distortion ;)
worst fuzz I've ever heard :(

IIRC, there was a rackmount version of the Rat pedal.
yeo, the R2DU.

it was just two rats in series.

I know about that one...one on eBay is going for $400! Over priced.

Just curious...how hard would it be to buy the components of a TS-9 and build myself a rack clone of one?

If you can solder, it's not that hard. The problem is the enclosure itself. They're pretty expensive. The Hammond ones are like $70, iirc.
 
I have the Rat R2DU for sale…..I saw that $400 one on evilbay F'n Crazy…. I couldnt do that :no: I also have the Tube Driver for sale. Thanks for bringing me up .

The rat can be used as 2 separate units or inline together. I did an A/B of both of them with the exact same settings and they seem voiced a little bit different from each other. I will be getting a proco Rat reissue pedal this week and will compare that with the R2DU. This one sold for 49.00 but with out a footswitch and they dont work with out a foot switch https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 1048wt_907

The Tube Driver rack has more features than the pedal. the rack has Hi, mid, Lo, contour, Bias, Master vol, Boost, Bypass and Drive. foot switchable Boost and Bypass.
The pedal has Hi, Lo, Drive, Master Vol and you can get the Bias option.
:thumbsup:
