An old Pro Co Rat.
Sometimes I use a steel E-Bow & Rat together.

There is a parallel thread in No Peddlers under "fuzz mania".

In the studio, when I know ahead of time, I'll bring my '65 Bassman. With the volume at 3 it starts to break up, around 4 it gives that warm, tube amp distortion that can't be reproduced electronically by any device I'm aware of. For live stuff, I'm with my old buddy Tom -- the ProCo Rat is as good as anything. We Michigan boys gotta support our local suppliers.

I use my amp - either a Mesa Maverick (combo)or a Mesa V-Twin (rack).

I'm moving this topic from 'Steel Players' to 'Electronics'.
