 ToadWorks Matt Buster’s Death Rattle
Still, it’s a menacing name to be sure, and ToadWorks describes the Death Rattle ($284 retail/$230 street) as “something dark and twisted—pure evil.” I was expecting some form of super-freak metal distortion on steroids, but the reality was a hair underwhelming.
The pedal is a very good sounding dual-mode overdrive with individual Gain, Tone, and Level controls for its two independent circuits (Tweed and Plexi), plus a Boost level that can be switched in on its own or in either mode—pre- or post-distortion—for added lift.
You can’t link the two channels—which I think would be kind of nifty—but the Death Rattle still provides seven flavors of boost and overdrive (once you account for the Pre/Post Boost options), and some serious crunch-to-wail gain levels.
