I've been offered a mint condition big box Rat with LM308 to swap for my modded Rat 2 whci i'm not using. Is this worth a swap? I'm thinkning that even if I don't end up using the big box Rat I could flip for a decent amount.

They sound better, or are just worth more?

Not sure, the pedal is too big for the guy's pedal board so wants a Rat that is smaller but with the LM308 chip.

The deal is done so i'm glad it's worth it.

Seems like a strange one for the other guy.

An unmodded original big box Rat is much more valuable. I guess it's probably an early 90s big box rat 2.

I think it makes sense. He needs a smaller pedal for his board but he likes the sound of an LM308 Rat. He may be in a hurry to get another in which case he can't sell his and buy a new Rat2 as they don't have the LM308. He could sell his and wait for one to come up 2nd hand but he could be waiting a while. Therefore he swaps his Rat for a used one with an LM308.

I'm meeting him tonight after work to swap.
