Review: Awesome, nasty, versatile. - This can get an amazingly broad array of pleasing OD, distortion, and fuzz sounds- especially with another OD before and/or after if the amp signal is clean. I can hear crazy amounts of harmonics and octave notes at different settings. Simple and powerful 3 controls. You can hear the design influence of it's predecessors- fuzz face, tone bender, and Big Muff fuzzes. Many of those sounds are in this box. It's glorious and bombastic. I grew up and learned to play guitar in the 1990's, big fan of Nirvana. I didn't know what types of pedals Kurt Cobain or other famous people used. It didn't matter, we used what we had and turned it up LOUD to get there. Didnt know any better. This RAT pedal will get you all those similar, familiar classic sounds and, more importantly, search for our own sounds with it as a tool. There are copies of this circuit design out there, and I can now absolutely recommend the original here to anyone considering a cheaper copy, or an expensively revamped boutique version. This pedal is sweet. Just played it for an hour straight. No regerts.
Review: Good pedal for overdrive, distortion, and fuzz - My original pedal was a predecessor to this , BRAT / Roadkill (1997-2001). I wore it out so I it was time to shop around. Rolled the dice on this one and just finished my third session with it. A few thing to note: - [Distortion] knob acts as overdrive for 1-30%, distortion 30-60%, and fuzz 60-100%. - The [filter] knob is actually a reverse tone knob, so it effectively cuts treble the more you turn counterclockwise - The volume on your guitar itself will change bass/treble output through the pedal. It took me a bit to figure out because when I first plugged it in, the highs sounded too hot and bass boomed to much. So I dialed my guitar volume knob back from 10 to 7 and it sounded more balanced. - Turn your amps drive knob up to get more dirt from this pedal - Like most pedals, the pick attack adds more effect. So the way I use it is this: I play high volume with light picking so I can hear the guitar clean, just colored a bit. Then when I want distortion I pick harder and it draws the effect through. Hope that makes sense. Either way, a great pedal, especially for $60. And its built like a tank too

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you run this at 18v? (Proco Rat)**
A: As per the product description:
"...9 – 18V Operation:  Increased headroom and fidelity with 18V operation and less “sagging” as compared to older RATs...."

**Q: Where is this product made?**
A: For recently made Rats, the bottom of the box it came in should have a sticker saying Made in China. They're very well made and very reliable. ProCo just assembles them in China and they're shipped back to Missouri. There were US made ones for years and the only difference you have to think about is the jack for the optional external power supply is different than the US made Rat, so make sure you buy the right one.  The parts are almost all the same, although the Rat has been a work in progress since the 1970s.

**Q: Es para bajo?**
A: Es para guitarra, pero puedes usarlo con bajo como también al Big Muff ruso.

**Q: What cable do you need for this?**
A: Instrument and/or patch cable, depending on your pedalboard setup. Do not use cabinet /speaker cable! It runs on 9vDC with 100ma current.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still a great pedal after all these years - even with the changes
*by A***C on June 28, 2024*

Yeah, yeah, yeah...it's not the same as the vintage version. Whatever. I've owned two of the originals. Great pedals and I bought into the myth that the new version just can't stand up to them. I bought this for my kid, warning him, "Sorry, but the guys on TGP say the new version just doesn't sound like the old ones." I'm here to say that's a load of bull. This pedal has all the snot and spirit of the original RAT. It has the same personality and tone. I suppose if you had them A/B'ed, you'd hear some tonal difference between the two. Not necessarily better...just "different." Listen, if you're an older musician like me who wants to relive the original, or you're a newer player like my kid who wants to sound like his punk/hard rock heroes who used this pedal, look no further. It's super affordable and sounds awesome. Let the TGP guys buy insanely-priced vintage versions and boutique copies. This will get you all the way there and you won't sound like such a cork-sniffer when you talk about your hand-wired pedal no one has ever heard of.
