"Good variety of tones"

Feature:
Rotaries are basic but functional. The diode switches are a nice addition.... but, it'd be nice if they were located on the top of the box, with the dials, rather than at the back. It makes it more difficult to adjust and match them to the dials when you have to look behind the box to see what you've selected. A very nice feature - perhaps the hallmark of this device - is channel-chaining, whereby you can drive both channels at once, allowing you to blend dial & switch settings together. You've got a rich pallette of tones available, using either channel individually, or both at once. Also, Deucetone box can accommodate two player's inputs at once if you use the channels separately. One "bad" feature - a power adapter plug is not included in the purchase, AND the input is not standard, so you have to buy a non-std one if you want to run Deucetone via power source.

Quality:
Made well .... solid, heavy. The dials "feel" good.

Value:
I'm not sure about this .... i like the box, but there's a number of competing boxes, including ones that include real tubes in their circuitry, which is a nice feature. The deucetone has gotten good reviews overall, but the Bonetone Classic & Brit Rock boxes seem to be favored more, and have superior designs. (I compare to those, because the price is about equal. Other boxes are even more expensive, but seem better too.) So, who knows? We all end up "collecting" boxes i guess!

Sound:
Good variety of tones, from light crunch to flat-out ballsy overdriven distortion. You can maintain the character of your guitar while still enjoying some nice tones. Allows you to vary your picking style and change the sound. When i play my Strat, i can still maintain its great sounds, while adding any level of drive/distortion i want to the mix. You can get good tones from either channel individually, so you don't have to rely on just chaining them to arrive at good tones.

Ease of Use:
Easy to set up the channel-chaining feature - just plug guitar cable into channel A input, then run cable from channel B output to Amp or another device. Diode switches on the back of the box is a NEGATIVE - other devices such as the Bonetone locate their switches on the front with the dials, which is better.

Support:
??

Overall:
I do expect to continue using my Deucetone. Whether i'll end up with another competing box .... ?? The Holy Grail of stompboxes says: "Thou shalt keep searching, my son ... seek not, want not."

News
The newest addition to the Rat family is the Deucetone Rat. Originally designed as the R2DU (Rat 2 Distortion Unit), a rack effect with a dual foot switch, the Deucetone Rat brings the R2DU out of the rack and onto the floor and the spirit of the R2DU lives on in two independent rat units that can be used separately or together. Selectable diodes produce a variable sonic palette utilizing the tones from the Vintage Rat, TurboRAT and two never before heard rat sounds - the Clean and Dirty rats. The Deucetone Rat has all the classic features of the 'rackrat' including two independent rat circuits, providing true stereo capability or the ability to cascade one side into the other for best bonecrushing rat sound yet. The Deucetone Rat is housed in a new compact sloped-face pedal-only design. New triple-pole foot switches have been added for greater reliability and the switches have been strategically placed to allow for easy stomping of both channels simultaneously. Like the rest of the rat family, the Deucetone Rat is housed in an indestructible steel enclosure that will provide years of on-the-road reliability.

The Deucetone Rat offers two channels of raw distortion providing the ability to change, on the fly, between three different settings per side - that is six rats in one. The germanium diodes that drive the dirty rat give this rat by far, the most incredible sound ever.

What makes this pedal so powerful is the ability of the guitarist to run both channels independently of one another or in a cascade mode to deliver a combination of the two rats.

From a double dose of vintage rats to a dirty rat/clean boost combination, you are sure to find the perfect sound to take that great guitar lead to the next level. If you are like a lot of guitarists today, you are probably rethinking your rackmount effects and are heading back to floor units. The Deucetone Rat will bring your multi-distortion needs back to ground level while taking the sound of your rig to new heights. It is the most incredible stompbox on the planet.
