if the last 5 years are any indication, it looks like it's going to be the rat from here on out...
2017 was the year I fell out of love with the Rat. We're still friends though.
did the Madbean Moar take over as numero uno?
Very glued and greasy reverb sound

Yep. I switched to lower wattage amps that break up much earlier, and therefore require less help from a pedal. In that low gain range my Rats were no longer sounding the way I wanted. Too much bass suck.

I love my Archer Ikon too, but I prefer the leaner sound of the Moar. It has more of the Ratty glassiness I like.
