Both the Muffuletta and Bonzai are superb.

Lol is anyone able to pick me up one of these and send it? Might be funny to try and beat the paid and embargoed YouTube reviews? 

I've left already. 

Just call the shop, they can post it. The send via DPD. 

JohnCordy

@StruanRobertson great shout. Done! Hope it's not getting released tomorrow...

EricTheWeary

Weird, everything on google takes you to the old Pack Rat and not that one.  

JohnCordy

@EricTheWeary based on the last few JHS launches, he basically pays like 10-15 of the biggest YouTubers to all release their videos on the same day...which if they're in stock I'm imagining is going to be soon...

Oh yes, my YT feeds gets flooded with these things. Presumably any day now and that shop have put something out on display they weren't supposed to.

Interesting, as I'm in the market for a Rat, but I won't be paying £220 for one. Isn't a real one only about 90 quid, and most of the boutiquey ones seem to run around 180...apart from the DRV, where you have to pay the Insta-premium.

If it was me I would have bought it and stuck it on ebay!

Wasn’t thinking straight!

Good luck @JohnCordy, looking forward to your video! This might be as close to a Mission Impossible style espionage thriller in the pedal world.

JohnCordy

@Moe_Zambeek yeh this will be a thing that does an approximation of all of the classic rat circuits and mods..

If you're looking for one @TateFX makes a beautiful Rat inspired pedal the Sirens Scream

I'm in Camden guitar guitar part exing an amp.

It is indeed called a Packrat.

Looks like they've done a modded rat with the same name before.

No mention of this one online.

Question is.... Do I buy it? I have no need for a Rat pedal. 

So i wasn’t dreaming…. Good to know

Happy my Black Mass was only $190 with a chunk of that going to charity

I look forward to the usual youtube outlets telling us the Rat is the best thing in the world and everyone needs one despite most of them always using BB style drives for everything they actually do. 

PGSAndy will make it sing though

Have you contacted JHS about it? Might as well go to the source.

Shhhhh... not until John's done his video!!

Habanero

Maybe this some genius viral marketing plan?

JohnCordy

@Habanero a cat and rat game beginning in Camden?

This is cool, I like Rats and can never decide which version I like the most usually turbo/vintage gives me enough options though but I could be tempted by this.

I don't think Josh Scott is the type for tantrums, but perhaps the OP and Struan need to take the shop's name out of their posts so no-one gets sacked?
