Item Description
Pro Co RAT2 Distortion / Fuzz / Overdrive Pedal 🐀 🌟 The Sound of the Underground Since 1978, the Pro Co RAT has defined aggressive guitar tone. From arena rock rhythms to searing leads, indie grit to punk assault, the RAT’s hard-clipping LM308 op-amp circuit delivers distortion, fuzz, and overdrive in one bulletproof box. It’s the pedal that “created the template for what distortion sounds like to this day.” 🎛️ Simple. Versatile. Iconic. - 3 Controls: Distortion, Filter, Volume – that’s it. No hidden modes, no menus - Distortion: From fuel-injected clean boost to full-on fuzzy saturation with endless sustain - Filter: Turn clockwise to roll off brittle highs for warm, amp-like tones. Counter-clockwise for mix-cutting brightness and clarity - Volume: Unity gain for subtle grit or crank it to slam the front end of your tube amp 🔊 Tone Profile: Silicon clipping diodes give the RAT2 its signature aggressive, harmonically rich distortion. Smooth enough for bluesy overdrive, nasty enough for doom riffs. Works as primary dirt, dirty channel for clean amps, or solo boost that cuts through any mix 📏 Specs & Build: - Circuit: 100% analog signal path with legendary LM308 op-amp - Bypass: Buffered bypass – passive switching keeps bypassed tone intact - Power: 9V battery or 9V DC center-negative PSU, 7.8mA draw - I/O: 1/4" Mono In, 1/4" Mono Out - Impedance: 1MΩ input, 1kΩ output - Chassis: Indestructible steel enclosure with sloped face, glow-in-the-dark graphics, heavy-duty footswitch - Size: 79.4 x 103.2 x 73mm / 3.1" x 4.1" x 2.9" Why it works: The RAT sits perfectly between overdrive and fuzz. At low Distortion settings you get tube-like breakup. Push it and harmonics bloom for leads that sustain for days. The Filter isn’t just a tone knob – it’s a low-pass that shapes the gain character, letting you go from vintage twin sparkle to overdriven stack without losing definition. Good for: Rock, punk, grunge, stoner, indie, blues, and anyone who needs one pedal that covers light OD to wall-of-fuzz. Also killer on bass and synth. Legacy: Used by Jeff Beck, Metallica, Nirvana, Radiohead, Sonic Youth, and thousands more. If you need one distortion pedal on your board, this is it
