Keeley has a modded Rat, but I don't know what the mods do. I heard another guy try one out and it sounded very Jeff Beck-ish.

thanks 4 your reply billy, Heres the deal....Keeley mods a rat and its improved from the newer ones but doesnt hold a candle to the older ones. Plus I just hate the enclosure its in. Wanted something that can do the rat vintage sound, but in a updated and nicer package. Im looking at a cARL mARTIN CRUSH ZONE OR A CRUNCHBOX but have no experience with either, and am open to suggestions

The Landgraff Mo'D is based on a great sounding ProCo Rat that John liked. I hear that pedal just smokes.
Another pedal to check out is the Hermida Mosferatu.

He sent me an email saying that my name was at the top of the list and that I should pay or let the next person go for it. I sent payment but haven't gotten the pedal yet. I think he was sending out a batch of Zendrives. I think he said the Mosferatus for next. I am not sure if that means that they are being built next or that they are being shipped next. I hope to have it soon. $150 is a great price for any pedal.

Hi Chipstar, John does not have website. He has basically had a lot of success through word of mouth and does not see a reason to move out of that system. When Carl Verheyen and Doyle Bramhall II is using your stuff it must count for something. I have a Dynamic Overdrive and his Mo'D on order. You can call him directly at 1-850-341-2310. One thing you should know is that he is very religious and is proud of being a Christian, but he is extremely down to earth and a very loving person and does not discriminate. So don't let that sour on you on the pedal. I am not of any religion per se but I basically look at it this way, if I were to not buy his pedal because of his beliefs then who is prejudiced towards who? You can PM Jgleaton on the forum(whose birthday is today!) and talk to him as well. He has a few of John's pedals and can give you a better review of what they can do. I do recommend also talking to John directly and let him know what you are looking for. If you have to leave a message he will call you back immediately. Peace out.
Arun

I'd be happy to talk to any of you about the Landgraff pedals, they are pricey but IMHO worth every penny... if you ever DO decide to try his Dynamic Overdrive... you can always get your money back out of it if you decide on another direction... they consistantly sell on e-bay for more than john sells them for new... usually going for between $400.00- 450.00... there are alot of GREAT pedals out these days... some are not nearly as expensive and very good, just got a T. Jauernig and I LOVE it too.... they are just different... matter of taste really... johns a great guy, back-ordered like most of the small one man operations, but call him and ask him about what your after, what your looking for... tell him arun and I sent ya... and ask him when my bassman will be ready?? ;D Jason
