What's the difference between this pedal and the Pro Co Turbo Rat Distortion Pedal? I've always wondered what the "turbo" offered in terms of sound.

hi Willie you have to check the specifications on that to know the difference I've only experienced this rat which is excellent I bought it twice

My understanding is that the Turbo RAT is marketed for those looking for extra "output" - considering that my RAT2 has what seems to me as already having strong output, I can't imagine how much more oomph the Turbo gives. Depends on one's tastes. It could be too much. Having not played through one though, I can't give you a detailed explanation as to how the extra output differentiates the sounds between the two models. However, if you check out youtube, there are some side-by-side demonstrations as to the differences. Hope I could help!

I have never used the Turbo so I can't give you an answer based on experience. Sorry.

I can't objectively review the Turbo Rat other than that I was looking for more of the original Rat sound compared to the more fuzzy, higher output that I heard from the Turbo Rat via online.

I think it may be the same pedal except that the AltoEdge is "The ONLY pedal that works with the Express Scribe FREE version!"

IDK either ... I bought it and got the standard version. I do not see much difference except for the metal on the pedals which maybe makes them more durable. I use the pedals with Windows XP as my OS; the interface of my pedals is USB, the Saitek Drivers get the pedals into my computer and Saitek includes a program to check that the pedals are working. BUT to get the pedal info into any running program they have to be linked to the Windows Device Manager by going to the Control Panel and Clicking on Game Controllers, then clicking on ADD then scroll down to Saitek and select it. I made a screen shot but Amazon does not give me a way to attach it to this e-mail.

According to my experience the amp simulations offered by the G1N are enough to satisfy any taste. Distortion: all the kind and strengt you want, and a good noise gate and compression. It is an entry level Multi Effect but it is complete.

It has many different amp models featured inside it which includes distortion and overdrive. It also has a distortion "footswitch" which you can have different distortions. It does have a "metal" distortion, but I can't remember if it's an amp option or distortion option. It sounds pretty good though.

Hi William,The BD-2 is a killer blues and rock overdrive. The clipping is natural with exceptional harmonics. IMO it's much better than newer generation of Tube Screamers and all the rest! You can dial-in any amount of saturation and overdrive. The tone control is very good and easily matches your amps tonal characteristics. This pedal makes a good amp great! My favorite stage pedal, Boss quality and reasonably priced.

Zuleyka As for the ME70 its a great pedal,I love my boss it made my guitars sound great. One thing I use is a Good well padded laptop bag to put my gear in. World tour makes Good gear bags for the price, and they have one made just for the ME70. Hope this helps you out, all the best to you. Freddy

Sorry not familiar with the pedal. I've always used some type of modeling amp and have never needed a pedal for the type of music I play.

While I haven't tried this specific pedal (yet), for the sake of reference I would like to add that sooooo much of "sustain" comes down to the instrument and not your pedals. In general, a compressor pedal will only "enhance" what's already there. With a low end Squier Strat for example, where you have a half-sized zinc trem block, you're typically going to have very poor sustain...a compressor pedal will not make up for this (at least not without adding a whole bunch of popping percussive noises to your playing). Just something to keep in mind.

thank you, MAS. That was very helpful. Another quick question: do you know which are better (even if marginally so) - the Shure SE530 or the Monster Turbine Pro?

The manual is available here, so you can see if it has the information you're looking for. http://www.behringer.com/assets/LX1-X_P0209_M_EN.pdfIn my opinion, this effects setup has fewer features than it claims because many of the effects are amplifier output emulation, meaning is provides the gain characteristics of a give amp. So, while I like playing with the settings on mine, it's not quite the effects pedal I was originally expecting.

I have a Boss md2 and it works fine in front, but I'd never use them together. The zoom distortions are pretty versatile so I'd be surprised if you couldn't at least get really close to another pedal's effect.

I don't use Pro Tools but the quality is outstanding. Really the only gripe I do have is that the headphone volume uses the same knob as the monitor volume. Having said that I have no regrets about this purchase. Check the Pro Tools site for compatability and if all is well then go for it. You can always return this unit if you have buyers remorse. As for playing metal it retains the harmonics of distorted guitars quite well.

Yeah just put the distortion really high up. Some people might not like the default distortion tone the amp already has, but you could always buy a distortion or overdrive pedal and plug it into the amp. It might have a better tone if you don't already like the distortion the amp already provides. It can play speed/thrash.

Don't know. The company is based off of Michigan, where they discovered the pro co Rat by modding a guitar in the basement. Their headquarters is still based in Michigan, but I don't know if they have outside factories or if they also manufacture in Michigan.

this pedal have a compressor and delay... you can turn on more than one effect at a time... is amazing pedal.
