Rat 2 Distortion : ProCo Rat 2

Delivered to the UK with no delays and I could track it online.

The Rat has the basic features for a distortion pedal; distortion, filter and volume (what else would you need?). It takes 9v like most other pedals with a small jack adapter.

Sound wise I use it mainly for jazz - with the the distortion on 1, filter on full and volume just under halfway giving me a lovely warm almost crunch, something which I've only found on the Rat. Rock - The distortion on 3, filter on 5 and volume again just under half way giving you a great crunch like no other pedal.

Quality wise the thing is superb, I gig constantly with it and never had any problems. It's a total brick as well and is more likely to damage everything else if dropped as it is rather heavy and solid. I have even considered using it as a weapon at a particularly 'hairy' gig. Also fairly inexpensive compared to relative boss models and I'd say better.

Overall a great pedal which I shall never replace unless I get an older model which they don't make anymore.
