Alto Music is a legitimate shop. I just bought a B-stock DL4 from them on reverb a couple of weeks ago and the only "damage" was a corner of the box was a little dull.
Their Reverb shop has 13,000 reviews and I didn't read all of them but they seem to be almost entirely perfect.

Third-party seller, shipped by Amazon. Solid price, though not perfect reviews of the seller.

Killin' me, here, trying to resist a good deal. I already have the Cranium from Zander effects so I shouldn't need another Rat, right? Right?!

Ugh.

Fyi, this is one of the easiest distortions to clone. There are lots of cheap knockoffs that sound exactly like the originals and often have more models in the same box.

I've had a 90's rat, turbo rat, modern rat, Joyo Splinter, and Magus Pro.
The Proco rats are built like tanks. The 90s LM308 chip rat and turbo rat sounded good but I don't know about paying double or triple the price. I ended up keeping the Magus Pro since I don't gig, had the most versatility, nails the sounds, and smaller footprint.
The next one I'm getting is the Black Mass 1312 with a bunch of variations.

Ordered two weeks ago. Still says shipping September. Skeptical if it's real.

This clone is surprisingly good.

The Splinter isn't bad either. Just gotta keep the volume down some on them all or it'll clip and sound like mush.

I was just about to downvote because this was the normal price when I got mine in December but looks like the price has shot up to around $120 now. Crazy.

Yeah tariff queef is boning us. Fender raised prices too. Was looking at MIJ own to import and that's another 15% tax on top of that now too. šŸ„²
