SOUND QUALITY

I have prciser right away that I do not possde loriginale this pedal but i manufactured Clone that I even alone as a great. (I ralise the most of my effects even myself: Fuzz Factory, Tube Screamer, Tremolo, Equalizer)

http://glimmertwins.skyblog.com/

I have to say than before pluger of the components on my Board Dessai, jtais some septic because i tried many distos without being really satisfied. I look for a Marshall typ his 70 year ../ stratovolcano .possdant a Valvestae 8080, long t i lass its distortion floating mediums too my taste.

So I've had occasion dessayer in my quick tests on Board: Guvnor (floating mediums such as 8080, Vol poop pushed) MXR distortion (too acidic), Fuzz Factory (uh TRSM solo singing rhythm but this is porridge) simulation 18watt marshall JFET ..; .. blah ..

Then i played on any short-amps: Crate lamps and simulated digital (blah), Mesa Boogie F30 (sound too modern for me), VOX AC15 lamps (have reverb industrial shed poop, her yuck .. i may be wrong model essay ..) JCM2000 + 4HP: Ahh this is the bug ca SAINT GRAAAAAL.

Well this PRO CO RATE my bluffVRAIMENTCest the best DISTO THAT NEVER TRIED IN JAI 17 YEARS OF GUITAR !!!

A well rounded, beautiful hamoniques in low waouwCa sounds .. MARSHALL !! my ca reminder on my tests the same typology of its JCM..vraiement

This is the first time that I can play on the distortion of the strat neck pickup (that of ht), and that the sound drooling pastrs balanced on the heads true cordesdu Hendrix! For example you can make arpges (intro AC-DC hells bells) and sounds good net heads notes !!! same high gain.

We can do the kind Loverdrive Stones Completion its very heavy Annes 70trs typs Marshall Guns by exempleLe Tone knob to correct nickel.

Really, this pedal 80 is given.

Oh, I have a prciser choseje havent put the original post saturation diodes, 1N914.comme throughout my pedals I put spcialesvintages diodes that soften the sound died and are never used in the pedals for distortion but rfrenceca this is my little secret (price ever lide?)) .. with a strat this is paradise

In short, his love of Vintage typ Marshall with grain, rockailleuxsautez this pedal !! This is the bomb!

NOTICE GLOBAL

See above

I was looking for a pedal that could get married with my Telecaster pickups mounted with Lollars. As the character is strong but is not intended for the big distortion at the base had to be typed but powerful pedal. Rat meets this criterion.
The pedal is really solid and heavy. On a pedalboard that remains in place. I plugged into a power supply, I have not used the battery 9v.Enfin turn knob accurately.

The Cut filter is perfect for managing acute sharp cutting of the Telecaster. Actually going to the right gradually cut. The Cut allows you to find a good balance of frequencies: precise bass and treble precisely dosed.
The gain is a means to an overdrive distortion fuzz that turns toward the end of the race. I plugged mainly on Tubemeister H & K. By boosting the pedal type with TS have a little on his perfectly intelligible and powerful on a solo. I approach a sound Gilmourien adding a little delay. Around 12 am we obtain good sound thick with vintage touches.
Overall gain is gradual and does not disintegrate at an end.
This pedal is revealed with the right equipment with him and knows when to use it. Many people judge without knowing the material REALLY operate and that is unfortunate.
Note that the first versions seem better but the difference is not obvious either.
In short a pedal that teams well with single coils and Telecaster in particular. On humbucker we pass in a fatter register for big beats.
No blame if we know why we research.

Distortion pedal. Turn off, left distortion, filter and volume in the middle right. Super solid case except the power button I farted once (in 3 years) rather recurring problem from the service department. hum.

UTILIZATION

POINT NEGATIVE: the power supply. These idiots have screwed a standard jack Allim end. What a crock.

To use it is very simple, the knobs are very sensitive and react quickly, which allows you to find THE perfect setting. Pure happiness. Rock 80's, 90's thoroughly.

SOUND QUALITY

Looking for a pedal that sends? A unique and recognizable among its 40,000 pedals? Let's go ...

Since I bought it is simple, I said bye bye to my boss and my mxr, even my harmonix elec I bought before ... be careful Proco Rat distortion is to have a its very distinctive have to be careful with what pedals bind ... but Joy Division Radiohead fiddling we come to have the same type of "grain".

Basically love it or hate it, being a fan of 80's rock I'm in my element.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 3 years and I've never found the equivalent in the type of sound I wanted.

I'm the type to buy the pedals on a whim so I have a sacred collection. Since I have it I sold my other distortion. When you have the top at home why go elsewhere ...

The feature I like least: the hot and the. audio jack, rather sucks when your pedals are plugués on a typical boss Allim garland style headphone ...

I do it again this choice without hesitation. Besides, I'll try to convince my bass player ... Then like us, it has a sacred mouth !!

A Super OD which turns to distortion with a small modification see TIP AF ^ ^ and as said in previous reviews the fuzz when you put a background.

this is analog with cheap but super effective components. For me 3 1 effects and quality very correct.

UTILIZATION

Using simple volume, filter, and Disto, volume tone 12h to 12h-13h and distortion according to your desires.

in short it is just plain know how to turn a knob.

SOUND QUALITY

Talking about qualitée OD is a very typical OD, there are the sounds of M and Black Desire for a distortion to 13h beyond what is OD Green Day, California rock and sending good background a slight fuzz, good is far from a Hendrix or ZZTOP but we are in a single pedal several effects that we can work with others to complete.

Anyway I find it very nice when we couple with a small cruch upstream personal TS9 I stick him just before, as said in other reviews, lightweight, for a given equilibrium because the EQ Filter (Tone) and limited and has trouble finding a clean TS9 therefore shows a beautiful OD EQ.

OVERALL OPINION

This is a very good OD pedal to start because it has a great price / quality ratio and we have, if we tinker a little 3 effects 1 OD / DISTO / FUZZ what the good life

Given the price made yourself treat yourself tested there and at worst it sells very well in Cygnus so there will be no regret.

I personally have one and I pensse in aquérir for another verse and give me more possibilities.

Analog effect could not be more simple.
Not too big and solid as a tank.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use.
As usual in this kind of pedals, 3 knob settings.
Suddenly no need for manual!!
We quickly found the right sound, and then this pedal so tested on the net that it is not hard to find examples.

SOUND QUALITY

Large range of sound underfoot, you can go use boost filter with the fuzz and distortion.
Like it promises.
For me it is an essential pedal should not hesitate to put in his pedalboard.
Whether with humbuckers or single sounds great on my Fender.

OVERALL OPINION

For me this pedal is the reference distortion, I've tried tons or made a few.
Every time I come back to it.
To further improve the potential mods are very numerous on the net and very simple to make as long as we know how to hold a soldering iron.
Next step I intend to put him LM308 fitted to the original rat sounds better to my taste.
Perfectible one point that I found is the power supply jack.

Analog format distortion pedal for guitar. a 9v power supply format mini jack (not practice), three knobs, one volume one tone (upside down, pay attention to the treble and bass left to right), and a drive. A jack in a jack out and roll youth. All this in a solid shell appearance, although I would have preferred a big metal shell (history search for defects).

UTILIZATION

It's simple, what a distortion, not to panic, nothing is superfluous in this effect. Only the lack of an eq instead of a tone put me 9/10.

SOUND QUALITY

Welcome to a world of distortion, overdrive the researchers did not find their happiness. At least we have a tough quelquepeu warm distortion given the little switched gain. In this amount gradually gain knob, you arrive in grunge land, the sound of Nirvana and others is not far ... And the tone is fuzzy in the final laps, but is still sufficiently accurate. Pure distortion, selective but excellent.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months on my rig, but I've been a big user studio before, his only fault is the power supply to the format mini jack, and if you are a fussy 3 band eq we would, but for this price ... It is already excellent. I remake that choice without hesitation, and in passing I will buy other Proco!

Solid in his little metal case: it has a pure sound that goes a great crunch to fuzz galore.
LED dens placed on top of the "A" RAT is the most beautiful effect when switched.

UTILIZATION

Simple to use:
The knob "Distortion" is used to set up a crunch first quarter, then it goes into distortion up to half of the race. After it leaves fuzz ...
The knob "Filter" adjusts the tone.
The knob "Volume" ... volume (amazing right?)

SOUND QUALITY

The sounds are great crunch and diso. I love this pedal. I note that all guitarists who have even regulate such (filter 1h, 2h volume, distortion: in). I never use the distortion with the last half of the race knob.
Losque I want to spend the mix solo, I simultaneously activates my overdrive Biyang OD-10. As a result, the cascade of two pedals gives me full of harmonics.
on the other hand, it is proper to "my" pedal, but once in ten volume output rises or falls during concert ... while the pots have not changed position. In these cases, I replace it with a distortion Biyang DS-10 that I keep "just in case" time to finish the concert.

OVERALL OPINION

I have my ProCo RAT years. It is well suited to the sound I like. It is far sounds Boss, Digitech. It is a distortion that ballad of OCD to the Big Muff (it is only my opinion).
If she lets me one day, I replaced it with the same fail.

distortion analog true bypass
very robust housing
all types of instruments

UTILIZATION

no need for manual
the distortion knob allows the first quarter of the race to get the sound of a TS9 type drive in less creamy and where TS9 stops, the rat flew to the 80's rock distortion and then half way back into the metal to finish 3/4 by the very large dito slightly fuzzy.
SRV to RATM.

SOUND QUALITY

First the seven years I found coarse, I played on es-type 335.
Since 2006 I rediscovered thanks to my strat us ssh twin rev laughed.
with all single coil sounds are possible, simply switch to double to go solo.
I also regale with my Jazzbass it sublime.
to my ear is the best after the distortion of the amp laney vc 100 I had (sniff boo) there is a decade.

OVERALL OPINION

MA is distortion with it a octave and delay, I am the master of the world! very versatile and faithful to the intent of the game if you know how to use its main feature: the sensitivity of the input level. otherwise (for example with a micro config too punchy it turns against you, you lose half of the light spectrum settings.

UTILIZATION

ras

SOUND QUALITY

it's going to drive the distortion / fuzz, it is not a high gain pedal but there really is almost sound palette can do a good punchy rock to hard rock well with old school made on the other hand for the metal it will lack sharpness, the fuzzy side can quickly make rough it must be dosed the distortion and filter what I like to do it is to boost it with a TS9 or a clean boost, it goes the bass and lower midrange where it kills far we are in the big sound very thick, with a config Ceramic I think it makes it less though with Alnico question of presence ...

OVERALL OPINION

no regrets especially considering the price 70 € occasion is a classic essential for fans of vintage pedal

typical of an overdrive / distortion

UTILIZATION

you just need to keep in mind that the settings differ depending on the type of guitar and amp used

must also take into account the interaction between the different settings: for example, add drive adds fréquances acute so you have to compensate with the tone / another example, the lack of bass can be overcome by boosting the output level

short, there is no single setting and it should be taken into account as soon as you change the config or change style

SOUND QUALITY

For me, what is most striking in tone, it is the presence at the media typically reminiscent marshall, which is rare for this type of pedal (which are usually dug at this level)

to talk of gain, you must know that this pedal is between distortion and fuzz: the level of drive is huge and pulls something deliciously muddy in extreme settings (great for a lead but less happy on a rhythmic)

on a clean channel, the result is quite honest even if it is in this case the lack of bass is most felt, if you set your amp channel between clean and crunch, bass and reappearing this will crescendo (it takes blow down the drive pedal to compensate)
the overall dynamics in this configuration remains correct if we do not abuse the drive

on a drive channel, you must seriously drive down the pedal and you get a very strong boost and deep enough that complies with the characteristics of the amp (in my experience anyway, to marshall and orange)

OVERALL OPINION

I realized the Ruetz mod and now I do not use the overdrive pedal in position

this mod is magical: we win lots of bass and this lowers the overall gain (which is astronomical origin), the overall dynamics is also greatly improved

I suggest very strongly that this mod does wonders for an investment and ease of implementation ridiculous

I recently compared a few pedals (boss bd-2 blues driver, fulltone ocd v4 and ibanez ts-9 tube screamer): For me, the best overdrive on the clean channel is Proco Rat Ruetz mod 2

Briefly, this pedal deserves its mythical reputation (unlike other references like the boss ds-1 distortion)

See other reviews. Small and sturdy construction. It is heavy for its size.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use. Not need a manual. The filter is upside down.

SOUND QUALITY

Gain: in the beginning of the course is to overdrive the "muscular" or distortion as guitars. End position is fuzzy at will, very heavy but different from the Big Muff.

Filter: versatile, ranging from dull to sharp and is well qualified, darken, clarify the desired sound.

Volume: a good margin.

So sounds usable and versatile despite appearances. The Rat is primarily for rock, punk and hard rock. Was it not Mr Black Sabbath?
Correct answers to the guitar playing and his respect thereof. Good momentum.

OVERALL OPINION

Pedal interesting because it has its own personality, it changes the other classics: EHX, Boss, Marshall.

The +

Food: mini-jack

Distortion pedal very simple: volume, distortion, and a button "filter" kind of tone (in reverse)
The input jack are at the top (why not). It is a little wider than the boss and is looking very strong.

I'm not 10 power supply input for exotic (a jack for a power supply ...) that requires an adapter.

UTILIZATION

It could not be simpler. No need for manual
It goes from crunch to fuzz

SOUND QUALITY

Then the sound. In summary, I would say that this pedal has character. Some prefer distortion very smooth, although other drooling. The ProCo for me is well balanced between the two. It sound to it, I really like.
When I said she has character, is that I think she is not "neutral" as the can (be a Boss DS-1.
It adds a texture.

With my telecaster is a great mix.

OVERALL OPINION

With experience, it is ultimately the more I play by its sound that bothers me. Other distos are smoother, but the grain of the Proco I like it.

Analog distortion pedal,
an inlet, an outlet (jack), three knobs for awesome sound: a "distortion" that plays on the rate of gain, a "filter" that adds more and more acute when it is turned to the left and a "volume", which adjusts the volume so the effect.

If the pedal can be powered by a 9v battery, the power supply industry is done by mini jack: an adapter!

It should unscrew the four rubber feet to the pedal to attach it to a Pedaltrain pedalboard like: a little boring, especially since the battery cover is quite large (Vis. ..)

UTILIZATION

The configuration itself is not a complicated: there are only three knobs!
However, editing the sound is more complex than a Boss pedal, for example, distortion or other "traditional" ... The sound can change drastically from one setting and another is very subtle!

SOUND QUALITY

I used this pedal on a crunch after buying it, I found it very complementing my TS808, history of having a second grain a little dirtier, nastier, more rock. It suited me and then ... more so over time.
This pedal sounds best on a basic sound clear, otherwise it's pretty rough, not defined. I guess that was the case of vintage models, I can not confirm because I could not compare! Joe Perry and Jeff Beck used the rat to boost their Marshall, however, I found nothing to really like this edition of "current".

If one pushes the rate-distortion results in a fairly fuzzy grain, rough and slimy, but nothing that resembles either a Big Muff or Fuzz Face! This pedal is a distortion, not a fuzz.
I think this sounds better when RAT2 keeps rates low distortion, even with the boost overdrive for leads (what I do ... when I use ^ ^)
Its report remains enjoyable, more natural and warm distortion that a basic, Boss, MXR or Ibanez, at random. I heard also that John Scofield uses this little black box: if one wants a modern jazzman disto versatile, controllable, but warm, the Rat is a good choice, as the guitarist who wants to render a little different than his usual Boss .

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using 1 or 2 months, but I get tired already. It is cheap, which is a quality. But I think there are in the market for more powerful machines ..!
I do not have that choice would do with experience, a randomly Zvex distortron be worth the shot in my opinion!
This pedal is very good though, it just suits me more, because with time minimizing the number of pedals on my pedal, I like my stuff does not ring only on a given setting ^ ^

analog

UTILIZATION

The setting is a little bizare early, acute left =, = grave to the right.

SOUND QUALITY

I find the sound quite a bit. Not as good as my Guv'nor and much worse than my the Guv'nor!
Fuzz level, not as a top Fuzz. Next to the Angry Fuzz, it is bland. So, I'm using it almost never. I sometimes triggers, but I come back very quickly to my darlings!

OVERALL OPINION

I, I will keep it now.
No plug for the mains connection.
Big enough to house.

First, LOOK ...
A beautiful black box in any mtal very solid, almost unbreakable ..
Then a Son ...
The pedals give a true SON .. It is not Disto or Overdrive or Fuzz ... It's three at the same time ... it's analog and ca dcoiffe not bad.
Effect of a classical guitar mle 9V power supply, connect in simple jack ...
In short it is a little gem for those interested in big sound not too dirty.

UTILIZATION

Ultra easy to use:
one branch, onrelie, and off you go ..
The manual is useless.
The true strength of the pedals, three knobs it really works.
The DISTO:
by turning the knob, you feel a true evolution of sound: It by a clear trs cool it passes through the crunchy trs well made, and a beautiful clear distortion trs, then a sort of 'overdriveet is getting stronger, up to a kind of distortion-fuzz trs trs CHARACTERISTICS really heavy and we recognize the eyes closed ..
The filter:
the rvolution is a real one Tone knob real thing .. not just a knob, which can not only see the diffrence in absolute silence ... we really going for a nice sharp a majestic clump ... nothing serious though
VOLUME:
prampli miniature, this knob is the place your absolute silence until a lightweight suprieur volume to that of the amp ...

As you can see, its strength in real RSID buttons to rglages real, and gives a true sonic palette.

SOUND QUALITY

Trs good effect to buy eyes closed ..
This is an evolution of the famous sound of Mister Kurt Cobain, in addition to his famous ibanez tube screamer, he used the very first version of the Proco RAT.
For good guitar with humbuckers or single coil atte large.

OVERALL OPINION

I personally have used it for 3 months with a LAG Roxanne Vintage (my jewel, my pearl, my guitar and a Marshall amp ...), Moffset 70, and a Wahwah Cry baby .. And rendering suprieur is all I ever tried ..
For a hundred euro is hardly littralement nirvana (ahah)
Eyes closed ...

Super cute lil PDAL in black boxes mtal sturdy knob on the air trs sound

UTILIZATION

Is that of the Bonnheure in some adjustable you get a sound manner and in any style please!

SOUND QUALITY

Osssssi the perfect sound I had never heard elsewhere

OVERALL OPINION

For me disto rsons boss DS1 DS2 see see see TS9DX TS9 or extreme HM2 or MT2.

But I made the Discoveries of the "pro co sound RAT2" ET ben my friends it's worth, I have never had such a good sound!

I like the sound Vai, Satch and times blues or rock, ba is the perfect pedals!

I had a problem before with my distortion is that I had to compress to get a good sound distortion and when I was in the clear sound compression fesait boff, with almost RAT2 I need compression so perfect a clear ossi

You will need a power supply as a small jack if you want to avoid the batteries (like the TS 808). it is solid: everything black metal! but not too small, slightly angled to fit your delicate feet with love, it's a great pedal fouttue (no pun intended of course ...)
will, as a gift here is an extract of the paper advertising that Proco offer to buy:
"A sound as mellow as a vintage" twin ", or as bone-crushingly Powerful as a battery of stacks Français Those famous" Basically, you are promised the fender like marshall .. c rather appealing and seems to ca its promises!

UTILIZATION

The knob are miraculous! I have rarely seen a pedal that responded as well to any setting. We understand quite quickly how to get to get the right sound. It sets the drive, then with the filter, it handles the equalization and the dose of fuzz sound sought. Finally it suffices to adjust the overall volume. Néamoins Warning: the maximum gain is obtained around 1 am, the rest of the race only adds to the compression. The filter is really great: used in conjunction with the tone of your guitar was a huge sonic palette.
apart from that we can see the fluorescent markings (practice on stage) and the red LED in the middle of R "RAT": the great class!
a small downside, however: the race is more knob gain and irregular especially early in the race. there are big big of a sudden and it will go slowly to make precise adjustments. well I do not blame him for so little.

SOUND QUALITY

I do not have the chance to play on the excellent gear (not yet ....) and well this pedal makes me forget that by the time I play the shit as it's a dream! this is EXACTLY what I was looking for: Hyper versatile, with character and punch! against it or by a distortion or a fuzz or overdrive. So if you want a good metal distortion that might not be accurate enough but it is a must for everything else: you can have a nice crunch, bluesy sound, a very full-bodied overdrive, a distortion dirty saturation apocalyptic! check out the demos on the site! this pedal goes all the styles: Hendrix, May, Mettalica, Hard rock,-M-(see his DVD: the distortion pedal used) and so on .....
added March 26: After some time Here are a few settings
"Fuzz face" dist: 12 - filter: 10 - volume: 11 am. so try it with purple haze! This setting is also quite close to the sound are you gonna go my way (through enposition neck pickup / bridge)

muscular overdrive: dist: 9:30 - filter: 9:30 - size: 12. with a humbucker bridge you're Angus Young. Humbucker in neck you're on Clapton Sunshine of Your Love.

added 24 December 2005: new amp, new guitar with a strat we see that the rat is very quiet despite the simple microphones. now I use it more as a huge boost rather than a distortion. It plays this role very well, I get a well enough grain for an early vintage drive low: a little fuzz to the old. To drive higher, a little less controllable c: too sharp, feedback and company. It feels that the rat is still not made for that.
Reum in the use boost works very well within reason, otherwise it's a mess. It is still a function more for this pedal that was not bad at the base!

OVERALL OPINION

Purchased from the pedal to Pigalle. I for a month. I love everything about her: she has the mouth, the sound, the price! and yes! € 100 ladies and gentlemen! the price of a Boss pedal, but with all more! I also just before an OS-2 which was about the same role. OS-2 was not bad, but there ..... we play more in the same league!! Even if achter a versatile distortion pedal: put € 10 more and give you the best!! All the same!! must be acquired this pedal knowingly! Her well as to many up s'addapter style is very distinctive. You have to buy a rat for the rat's! the sound will never be as precise as a disto classic!

A very nice little analog distortion pedal
with three knobs: level, filter, drive.
In short it's easy.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, given the number of knobs to turn.
But be patient and accurate adjustment of sound, racing
the knobs offers sonoritées very different.
A sure to dose the filter and drive.

SOUND QUALITY

Here, I would say, everyone's opinion on sonoritée.
I have a body double JCM 900 and a Les Paul, it sounds, but with
less body than the distortion of the marshall. on the other hand, using the pedal
as a boost pedal with the overdrive of the amp, so far, so mind-blowing!
The sound is rich and clean.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this little wonder for 2 weeks.
I bought it out of curiosity. I would not have thought to use
boost in my amp.
This is extremely good distortion pedal, especially at that price (60 Euros in hand).
If you are looking for a good distortion pedal rocker for use
a combo, I highly recommend it. Ditto on a body double boost.

Analog distortion
cicuit diagram identical to the DS one home boss ... who copied whom?

UTILIZATION

Simple Config
level / filter / dist

SOUND QUALITY

Distortion for punk rock to blues. Metal? Assz not attack, except with a compressor ...
ATTENTION pedals Proco react quickly to the change in power supply or batteries a bit old: Use fresh batteries (the sustain is a treat, as well as the attack)

OVERALL OPINION

Two months of use
I can not do without her and her cousin Vintage Rat.
At least try, and then compare with the DS1 (for RAT2) and US Biig MUFF (for the Vintage RAT).
GUESS WHO'S THE WINNER?

Distortion analog transistors, a REFERENCE, a classic
The case looks hardened steel finishes Excellent!

Note: Taking into 9V power supply with the "+" in the center, unlike most pedals (Boss, Ibanez, DOD ...) they are "-" in the center. So be careful if you possdez a block of Fawn Pedal Power power supply, Cioks, or the power supply to power EXCELLENT Ollmann Elektronik, you will not be used to power the pedals! SPECIFICATIONS The power supply (ref. RPS-1) is not empty dnicher in France! That said, as drisoire consumption (5mA) battery, a can!

This PDAL possde a TRUE BYPASS mcanique!

UTILIZATION

The prsence a filter cutoff knob makes this enjoyable to use pedals trs. The volume is also effective trs! If we add the true bypass ...

SOUND QUALITY

Beautiful! The distortion typical of the '70s, the Pink Floyd (The Wall). By varying the level of distortion + filter level is obtained about the results Varis trs!
A purist will tell you outright that MODEL, which is a rdition, do "not sound exactly the same as the original" etc ... but I'm sure way!

OVERALL OPINION

Excellent, if I had to have a saturation pedals, that would be it

Analog distortion pedal ... everything has been said
Note the presence of indicator (the "RAT", features on the knob) phosporescents very convenient to locate in the dark (on stage what ^ ^)
you doing a 9V battery in there and it sounds nikel
I put 9 because they would have just had a little round the edges you have to switch to slow down but nothing dramatic)

UTILIZATION

There's 3 knobs Bé, no simple + requires a little getting used to if you do not know the RAT, once more config. set-top (as I made the mark on a small sheet ^ ^) ça roule!
the manual offers three settings: blues, lead and heavy, cool but better find yourself his own ^ ^
10 for the sticker sold

SOUND QUALITY

The pedal reacts much to change knob which allows great versatility, the sound is huge vintage, fat rock'n'roll what!
with very little distortion you sound very jazzy simpa (surtt in neck pickup)
you push a little more distortion you get and there's a bluusy, crunch perfect for Hendrix or Chuck Berry (Oh Yeaah!)
12 disto has then there is the sound perfect for vintage classic of the genre (AC / DC, Led Zep ...)
and pushing slowly you go through the nikel more like the White Stripes, RATM to ..
disto you have a background sound preque heavy metal but not too much is not made to play the death ..

EDIT: after many adjustments I managed to find LZE sound system of a down rammstein and even (yes!)

OVERALL OPINION

I love it! I do not spend more! the quality / price exeptionnel he'll be one for each setting! lol

Known and recognized! This is RAT2 rides like a tank and will not let me go! Factory Kalamazoo, United States. The knobs are super practical phosphorescent rgler his pedals in the dark on scne eg.
Red LED lights when the pedals are active is very flashy, everything is spot on!

UTILIZATION

Nothing more simple, 3 knobs, a footswitch and go.
The manual contains the types of sounds, useful for novices of the pedals.

SOUND QUALITY

The sounds are really kind, the grain rat SSAI before you buy!
Basically it is an overdrive / distortion but you can even get fuzz tones (Disto to 12 and a filter 10H). She's really versatile despite its typical grain.

OVERALL OPINION

For 75 and made in United States, that's all the people DSIR! Proco thank you
