Phenomenal Distortion

The best distortion for the single coil guitars.

4 years ago

An understandable classic

Simple and effective, durable and versatile.

Sounds great with any guitar.

Regardless of your musical preference, you’ll be able to get at least one sound you like out of this pedal.

They also do a mini version, but the original isn’t so big that it’ll take up too much space on a pedal board.

It’s no wonder that this pedal is held in such high regard by so many.

I wish I found this sooner

This pedal is incredibly good for its price. I wish I had found this sooner, it would have saved me quite some cash chasing good distortion sounds with more expensive pedals. It's the sound you hear in Blur - Song 2. I've always wanted it. Who knew it could be this simple?

Solid and screeching!

I really like this pedal. It's very solidly built, and covers me for a heavier distortion sound that I've recently started to play around with. I'm usually a subtler overdrive/amp in a box type, but recently had a hankering for something that could cover heavier distorted sounds, and this works perfectly for that. I also like the history that's behind the Rat pedal

Very good, vintage sounding pedal.

This is one of the best OD/DS pedals I use. I use it for all sorts of music- rock, metal (although I would suggest putting a ts-9 before it for metal), pop and funk. I love it's flexible tone, it's very easy to change and simple to use. The pots and the RAT print glow in the dark, which gives it a bad-ass look when used in blacked out rooms. Only issue to me is that it has no battery slot, disabling it from being placed on a wireless pedalboard. Other than that it does it's job damn well!

Great Distortion

It’s a really cool distortion with a classic sound. Really solid and durable. The shipping was great too. For what it’s worth, I would recommend it.

Proco Rat Is A Classic

I use the RAT as a light Distortion to a Fuzz and it has always done the trick for me. it can also be used in long chains with out clapping signal.

I have been using it for 2 years now and its a very nice and affordable Dist. pedal.

there is maybe one con about it.

it can be hard to lvl match with a booster, but with some practice you can get it.

i recommend anybody thats looking for a fun Dist. - fuzz pedal to try this badass out. :)

Rock on guys

Love this pedal

What to say,

Handles gain very well and is great especially for the very high gain stuff. Can also be used as a heavy fuzz pedal

Great dist!

Had it for a few days and liked it very much. I let it go because there's no space on my board, but will definitely put one back when I decide to rearrange my pedalboard. It's a classic!

Makes specific but cool sound from the past

Still need some time to check all possibilities of this pedal, but it sounds pretty cool, it's hard to explain exactly what sound it makes, but it's not classic rock distortion it's something else, so I suggest to watch some videos or listen audio samples first.

Pros:

- good quality of materials

- unique sound

Cons:

- there is no battery inside, so you probably need to buy one if you do not have charging adaptor

Un grand classique

Considérée comme une des meilleures distorsions par Josh the JHS. Cest un très bon outil. Le premier tiers de la course gain donne un overdrive, puis le deuxième tiers donne une distoprtion de rock classique, puis le dernier tiers donne une fuzz très plaisante. On peut jouer de tout avec. Aussi a tester avec un compresseur juste avant la Rat. Cela done un duper rendu pour le palm muting.

An absolute classic

From slight distortion to a crunchy fuzz, this pedal is a classic for a reason. I would absolutely recommend it.

Legend for a reason

Probably the last distortion I'll ever need. This just does it right. A wide spectrum of possibilities through the knobs, and they all sound great to my ears.

Some shoddy point-to-point soldering of the foot switch resulting in unstable status and volume until I took it to the work bench to sort it out. Guess this would be covered by warranty, but I just couldn't bear the thought of separating from this pedal for any length of time.
