Description
The Rattler MKII carries forward everything that made the original JAM Pedals Rattler a favorite among players chasing a lively, expressive distortion. Rather than simply reissuing the old circuit, JAM Pedals rebuilt its heart with a specially developed op-amp constructed from discrete components, aiming to preserve the open, responsive character of the original design while refining the build.
What sets the Rattler apart from many distortion boxes is that it doesn’t flatten your playing dynamics into a wall of gain. The discrete op-amp design keeps the signal path reactive to how hard you dig in, letting soft touches stay articulate and harder picking push into grittier, more aggressive territory. It’s the kind of pedal that rewards nuance rather than just brute force.
This makes the Rattler MKII a strong fit for guitarists who want distortion that still breathes — whether you’re layering it with clean amp tones for added texture or using it as your main dirt source on stage. It sits comfortably in a variety of rigs, from blues-rock setups to more experimental pedalboards where touch sensitivity matters.

If you loved the original Rattler or have been curious about it, the MKII offers a thoughtfully refreshed path into that same distinctive tone.
