Rat 2 Distortion : Excellent distortion, a classic, well worth the money

6 years ago

The Rat is a legend, a classic since the 70s. This is a Rat 2 (made since the 80s).

I use it on guitar, drums, synth.

It covers a range of distortion sounds and can even get a little fuzzy.

Built like a tank, surprisingly heavy.

I never used a vintage model so I can't compare, but this is my favourite distortion pedal (out of 15 in my collection).

Some people may prefer to splash out on a modded version instead.

And many companies have made competing products, inspired by this classic, in varying degrees.

Finally, there are a few related Proco pedals like the Turbo Rat, You Dirty Rat, Fatrat...
