    • Play around with the settings and then WOW!
Review of Pro Co RAT2 Distortion Pedal: I have heard much about this pedal from the reviews and several players which have used the older/most current version. All have been extremely positive to say the least although the older version seems to have an edge up. I received it, opened it up, and immediately the quality of the build was noticeable/+. Plugged it in and……hmmmm? First two weeks I put it through its paces with a SG, LP, and Jag. Was about to return, but after much experimentation during the third week…..ok now I get it! This pedal may not be for everyone as it has a real “bite” to it and can be overdone if pushed. I play mostly “classic rock” and this definitely increases the “edge”. It is a good addition to a pedal board and for the price! As others have said…..buy it! 4.25/4.5 of 5 stars. ... show more

    • RAT - iconic - collectable, unforgettable sound!
One of the best overdrive pedals on the market! Period!

    • So far so good.
I love the RAT as an overdrive into my peavey VK212-only way to get a good sound out of it! My last rat pedal from Amazon croaked after 4 months. Hope this one lasts.

    • My new favorite pedal
I mostly use it at low distortion (8-9 o'clock) as an always on pedal. It adds a nice edge of breakup quality and a slight bit of compression that makes the guitar feel buttery. I pair it with an EQ to boost the lows a bit (but that's really only necessary at low bedroom volume). At higher volumes, the sound thickens and it sounds like an overdriven amp. ... show more

    • Better Than Most Guitarists Assume
As most guitarists who play electric guitar and use effects know this is a pedal that has been around for many years. I have not played through the older original RAT so I can't compare the RAT2 to that but I find this to be a pedal that I could use and get by without anything else. I suppose I am like many players who think that the size of the pedal is clunky and won't fit on a current board, or think that it's just for hard rock or metal. The size is not an issue with me as I bought it to use with a wah on the floor and not part of my regular pedalboard; and, my intent was to use this for classic rock tunes that require a wah/distortion sound. I will use my A/B switch to go between that separate rig and my regular pedalboard. But now I have a dilemma. I play my USA Strat with Lawrence Wilde L45S humbucking pickups (single coil size) into a very good tube amp and I find this thing useable for anything from a light breakup tube-like blues tone to an all-out fuzz with sustain forever. I could use this in place of other pedals I use now. Will this replace the best overdrive, best distortion or best fuzz pedal out there? No. And that's a matter of personal taste anyway. But if you are a gigging player and don't want to take a $300 overdrive out with other expensive pedals that might go AWOL while you take your eyes off them, this pedal, or better yet, two of them, will get you all the dirt tones you need for a wide variety of musical styles. It's really a great pedal and now I feel rather silly for not having given this serious consideration long before now. I encourage anyone who tries this pedal to strum your guitar without the pedal engaged and lock that sound in your brain, and then engage the pedal. Unless you've got the pedal slammed to maximum distortion you'll hear the original guitar sound with distortion added and not a totally different tonal quality added to your original guitar sound. I've used both high end boutique pedals and pedals priced for the working musician and many just don't have that transparency. When you have this quality you can effectively use the volume and tone controls on your guitar. If you are a guitarist who likes to utilize your guitar controls you'll know what I mean. For example, a Tube Screamer is known to add a very noticeable midrange-hump to your guitar tone but if you're looking for a similar tube-like overdrive without the mid boost this will work. I know that fusion jazz guitarist John Scofield has used a RAT for a long time and I never could understand why he would use this pedal based on my previous misconception of this pedal as not useable for fusion or blues styles. If you are looking for a different type of dirt pedal and are tired of all of the Tube Screamer clones (a Tube Screamer is the standard and I'm not knocking it and have used one) try this and you might not feel like you've still got to add a second or third dirt pedal for distortion or fuzz. The build quality is excellent and the controls are smooth. It is well shielded and will hold up to stage abuse. ... show more

    • No idea what took me so long
Slept on this pedal for a long long time/didn’t realize that it could do what it does I guess. I bought this for bass and it’s fantastic for that, but ended up liking it on my guitar too much so it went on the guitar board. A second Rat is now very high on the shopping list for the bass board as originally planned. For guitar, I have this, a tube screamer, and a clean boost and my gain staging options are exactly where I want them. Great buy. Built like a tank. A little annoying to mount on a board but not a big deal to make it work. ... show more
