The Thorpy has a nicer feel to play through and more balanced highs. The Mooer is a bit more congested in the mids and can go a bit more cutting in the high end - it's good for the price though. I've not played one but I understand the newer Chinese Rats are also a bit more on the bright/cutting side, judging from clips at least. I prefer the fatter sounding types (so closer to vintage spec).
MUSHY?
as far as clones go...there are two that I've always wanted 1. The Earthbound Audio Iron Pig; and, 2. The Dunwich Volthrower
I was quite impressed with the sound of the Blakemore ROUS in demo's, would like to give one a go.
Never liked the Turbo Rat.
Chinese. Still sounds great to me.
I built a Fuzzdog kit with 308 plus YDR and Ruetz switches. The regular Rat mode has a little more "grind" than the Rat 2, and the YDR is a really nice vintage-er flavour that's a lot of fun. The Ruetz mod is, in all honesty, totally pointless.
