Ibanez Fat Cat, competitor Proco Rat.
I think I read on the web as "Fat Cat" comes from the fact that cats gain weight when they eat certain rodents.
So the direct competitor of Proco Vintage Rat (first generation).
UTILIZATION
Effects pedal with 3 knobs, not too complicated to solve.
SOUND QUALITY
It sounds like a vintage distortion, Ibanez auvait actually wanted to compete Proco Rat.
Otherwise the sound is good, especially on a tube amp. A good trick is to boost the Fat Cat with a compressor or a clean boost overdrive, in front of the Fat Cat, volume to max.
By increasing the drive on the Fat Cat, we happened to distortions and sustain Gilmouresque.
OVERALL OPINION
I've long since bought secondhand.
A good distortion pedal, reliable and can last long.
I would one day be able to compare with a Proco Vintage Rat.
The Fat Cat is supposed to be the clone.
