From the vendor
The Lab Rat is inspired by a classic aggressive op-amp distortion, with the output buffer removed and replaced with a 12AX7 running at high-voltage. The result is the same inherent distortion tone we all know and love, but with a little extra tube warmth and saturation on it. The original “filter” tone control has also been scrapped in favor of a “James” bass/treble stack for more flexibility. Lab Rat also has a nice wide frequency response, so you can easily dial in killer distorted tones on bass as well as guitar.
