Frank foretold us the future of pedals back in 1969...

Jazz? A Rat. Adjust gain to taste. See John Scofield, Rat user!
Western Swing? A Rat and a cowboy hat. Adjust both to taste.

From the looks of it, that kid is about to be breakfast. Now, why would someone dump a perfectly good kid's arms into a vat of glue? There are easier ways to feed kids to rats.

Speaking of not stompboxes, how do you post a pic here?




In case I feel the need to post a picture of a rat, that is

There is a little icon with a mountain on the toolbar. You just put in the location of the image and the forum takes care of the formatting.

I heard they took 4 days to light that dinner scene.

Also, which is better?
-The modern Rat you'd buy at a GC or wherever today, OR
-The GFS Brownie?

Also...to clarify... the plot of that video, as I understand it was:
1. Milton Berle arranged to have RATT play upstairs of his dinner party, ostensibly so he could pretend to be annoyed and use the excuse of needing to leave in order to seduce a man dressed up as Angelica Huston.
2. After he leaves, guests continue to try to have dinner. A strange looking chick, trying to silently offer felatio to a valet or servant of some kind, unsuccessfully, which is strange. Then a guitar player falls through the ceiling, but due to an amazing wireless setup, he keeps soloing. His friend upstairs continues soloing, as well, magically transforming his regular Kramer 80's Floyd Rose shredder guitar, occasionally into some sort of wee 80's shredder guitar--and then back.
3. The weird chick leaves, stripping in the dark, until she becomes--a crappy modern dance version of....a...rat?
4. Weirdness continues to fade out.

Also there are no walls upstairs, only a weird, lightly distressed dropcloth, which all 80's buttrock bands had in their lockout, which in this case was on the UWS of Manhattan, above some old steel tycoon's 1st floor condo.

Okay, that makes total sense.

Wow...really great synopsis...but I'm a bit concerned with how much time you've spent thinking about it.

I would be interested in your break down of the Tubes' "She's a Beauty" video...equally thought provoking.

$100 bucks - grab a used Whiteface reissue. They can be found close to that range. Some ebay discount places are selling the new reissues for $125-150. I can't help you with the clones though...

I once had a cat
He never caught a rat
until the day
he found one in a glue tray
Just his luck
his face got stuck
in the glue
with the rat too

Please don't worry
this is a true story
because of me
the cat went free
as for the rat
it's on my pedalboard

Many apologies to Dr Suess

This is easily the best thread about rats I have ever been a part of!
