Decadent saturated distortion just like the original JAM Rattler, with enhanced versatility and tonal options. Incorporating a custom design op-amp that maintains all the beloved characteristics of the original but now has increased headroom.

Whether you are rocking modern or vintage rigs, this rather devious snake will rattle your audience off their feet.

Key Features

  • Dynamic Tone – Pure dynamic overdrive with tube-amp feel just like the original JAM Rattler, but with more headroom!
  • Dry/Wet Mix – Blend your clean and distorted signals for the perfect ratio of grit and articulation.
  • High-Gain Footswitch – Use the second footswitch to engage a higher gain stage for bursts of increased saturation.

JAM Pedals have always prided themselves on faithfully recreating early 80s distortion pedals.

What is the Op-amp?

The LM308 chips are long discontinued and hard to find, so Jam Pedals took on the challenge of developing a custom op-amp that preserves the open, dynamic tube amp feel which made the original JAM Rattler so popular.
