My Pedals - Black Mass 1312 Drive (lemmy.world)

Up next is the ever popular 1312 drive from Black Mass Electronics.

For the uninitiated this is a ProCo RAT clone that allows you to dial through the various flavors of RAT with the clip knob.

This pedal is an incredibly versatile drive and while I've never had a RAT I only hear good things. I mostly use it if I'm playing my guitar in Drop D or if I want to get really tight distortion tones. This pedal also gets LOUD.

This setting you see is more of a mid-range distortion vibe to contrast against the fuzz pedals I have on the board. I've been swapping this around with a few other drives I have just to change things up and try different stacking. I have no idea what clip mode it's in but I don't really mess with the others.

I'll be up front, this is an expensive RAT clone and you can get RAT tones for much cheaper. I purchased it because I wanted a RAT and I very much wanted to support Black Mass, who's ethos with this pedal I very much agree with.

This looks great. I didn't realise you could support good causes by buying pedals!

Yeah I’d love an index of companies that do stuff like that. I might try to put one together in the near future.

Ayyy the 1312 beats ass. Don’t forget to play big riffs and spit on cops

Have you ever tried the JHS Rat Pack? I'd be curious how it's modes compare this ones.

[–] jontree255 1 points 2 years ago

I haven’t tried it. I’m not a RAT enthusiast so I can’t speak to it or compare them. I know JHS did a ton of research before making it though and put out a video on it.

Love my 1312!!! It has been one of a few pedals that has never left my board. I’m not a huge distortion player but this one scratches the itch when I have it.
