"Pros: Versatile, Inexpensive, Great sounds, Well built, Easy to use.Cons: Ugh... It's taller than my other pedals???..." Read more

"...I loved the compressed dynamics, the near-fuzz tone and the powerful highs available from the backwards-wired tone pot...." Read more

"The pedal feels like quality. Solid. And for $75 bucks, it's a steal. Puts out that great 90's grunge dirt. From mild to wild." Read more

136 customers mention109 positive27 negative

Customers like the noise of the guitar effect device. They mention that it sounds great, has serious girth, and can pump some fuzzy sounds with the filter at the right setting. The volume output is laughably quiet, making it perfect for blending. It's voiced well and has a lot of good harmonics that let the character of the guitarist come through. Overall, customers are happy with the noise and recommend it to others.

"Pros: Versatile, Inexpensive, Great sounds, Well built, Easy to use.Cons: Ugh... It's taller than my other pedals???..." Read more

"...This pedal is perfect for blending as the volume output is laughably quiet, so running it as a booster is out of the question...." Read more

"Built like a tank, the “RAT” glows in the dark, amazing sound, definitely stands up to its reputation." Read more

"Pros: Versatile, Inexpensive, Great sounds, Well built, Easy to use.Cons: Ugh... It's taller than my other pedals???..." Read more

12 customers mention12 positive0 negative

Customers like the controls of the guitar effect device.

They also say the RAT has three simple controls that give them a spectrum of tone.

"...It is a little dark, but that is not bad and the filter works well to adjust to taste. It does add some noise -as expected...." Read more

"...The filter knob adds to the versatility as it rolls off certain frequencies as you turn it up, giving you the ability to transparently adjust your..." Read more

"...And the filter knob allows for an incredible range of tones...." Read more

"...The RAT on the other hand has three simple controls - three's the charm - for distortion, focus and volume that compliments the natural sound of..." Read more

Customers are mixed about the performance of the guitar effect device. Some mention that it works well to get many types of tones, has excellent performance, and is very useful. However, others say that it didn't work at all using a 9v external power source and that there's no magic in it.

"...Dial back the gain and this pedal works great at low to moderate distortion...almost like an overdrive pedal...." Read more

"...It didn't work. I left the store without it...." Read more

"Very satisfied. Also the RAT letter glow in the dark" Read more

"The unit seems to work ok. The battery compartment thumbscrew does not work...." Read more

13 customers mention5 positive8 negative

Customers are mixed about the cleanability of the guitar effect device. Some mention that it can go from really dirty to just slightly overdriven, and that it cleans up perfectly. However, others say that it fuzzes too dirty, gets muddy on the low end, and gets a little washed out on the more distorted tones.

"It's a rat, it's dirty, it's awesome! Modern version of a classic pedal at at this price point there is very little reason not to get one!" Read more

"...It was heaven! At a 1/4 overdrive on, its sounded very nice. It was clean, had enough sustain for me to adjust. Its sounds great!..." Read more

"...On the Rat, the highs and mids were too harsh and the low end was too muddy...." Read more

"overdrives not quite dirty enough? fuzzes too dirty? this is probably what you are looking for. simple controls and built like a tank. good stuff." Read more

Pros: Versatile, Inexpensive, Great sounds, Well built, Easy to use.Cons: Ugh... It's taller than my other pedals??? Makes it harder to reach the footswitch of the pedal above it on my board. Something pedal placement would fix.The Rat 2 has been around for a long time. It does low gain to sudo square wave fuzz. It's voiced well. Just remember the filter knob works backwards from most tone knobs. I find myself turning the filter knob further clockwise with higher gain settings, but it is easy to set since there are only 3 knobs. No matter what rig I'm playing through or what level of gain I'm looking for, the Rat always delivers. A working man's drive pedal at a working man's price. Huge complements to the Proco team.
