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: The best I've ever used. Period. - There a hundreds of distortion pedals on the market today. Sure, some are said to be the best at this or that, but for me the RAT is the one that does it all. And at a great price to boot. This pedal is not new to me. I've had a few of them in the past, but the RAT 2 is just a great as the older "vintage" models. Goes from a nice bit of drive that is far better than a Tube Screamer, to a near fuzztone, with some warm, smooth creamy tones in between. Remarkable. No other distortion pedal can do it as well. I've been playing for 5 decades and have had more than my share of them. But the RAT delivers. No joke. It just does it all, and well. The Filter (tone) is set up where the tone gets deeper by going clockwise rather than counter clockwise. That might thow a few folks off, but it's a little thing really. The Filter is the core of it's tone and the Distortion control is very linear in how it increases the distortion. By going higher with the Distortion control, the volume only goes up a little. That's great as making changes while playing is less of a hastle if you just lean over and bump it up a bit, the volume won't go through the roof. 100% silent switching. No hum. No buzz. And no loss or increase of your overall level when you engage the unit. Flawless comes to mind here. Easy to set up. Strong as a Tiger tank. And just flat out gives you what you want without all the fuss of 6 or 8 knobs for you to mess with. And the three that are there all glow in the dark like all the RATs of the past. Kinda cool if you ask me. If one wants a good distortion pedal that will perform without issues, get yourself a RAT. If you want to impress your friends with how much money you dumped on a "boo-teek" pedal that sits in the RAT's shadow, buy that high dollar unit and you can at least "Look Good" while you play. But your tone will still stink. Its up to you. Me? Its a no brainer. I go with the RAT.... ## Features - Used as a primary distortion, it excels at arena rock rhythm tones and soaring leads - Nails that sweet spot where a tube amp goes from sparkly clean to warm overdrive - Use the RAT 2 as a boost for solos and get the extra kick you need ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002MSQVQ | | Amperage | 30 Milliamps | | Audio Output Effects | Distortion | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,029 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #5 in Guitar Distortion & Overdrive Effects | | Brand | Proco | | Brand Name | Proco | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,110 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00703272023844, 00765811580546 | | Hardware Interface | 1/4-inch Audio | | Item Dimensions | 4.8 x 4.5 x 3.3 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 4.5"L x 3.3"W x 4.8"H | | Item Weight | 1.54 Pounds | | Manufacturer | ProCo Sound | | Manufacturer Part Number | RAT2 | | Model Name | RAT2 | | Model Number | RT2 | | Product Dimensions | 4.5"L x 3.3"W x 4.8"H | | Signal Format | Analog | | Style | RAT2 | | UPC | 703272023844 133587593044 609722143806 765811580546 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 9 Volts | | Warranty Description | 2 year limited. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Proco - **Color:** Black - **Item Weight:** 1.5 Pounds - **Product Dimensions:** 4.5"L x 3.3"W x 4.8"H - **Style:** RAT2 ## Images ![Pro Co RAT2 Distortion Pedal - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mKMm-k9NL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome, nasty, versatile. *by B***Y on November 10, 2024* 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.

Great for tightening the bottom end. I use it as a booster, with the distortion knob set to 8 or 9 o’clock, filter at noon and volume at 2 or 3 o’clock, and it makes my amplifier sounds way powerful with a defined tone. I totally recommend it to anyone looking for a great boost pedal. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pro Co RAT2 Distortion Pedal - JOYO DC 9V Guitar Pedal Power Supply (800mA -1A) AC Wall Charger Adapter with 4 Way Daisy Chain Pedal Cables (8.8 FT), Compatible for Most Effect Pedals (Tip Negative) - MXR Patch Cable 6 in|15 cm - 3 Pack (3PDCP06) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/10079772-pro-co-rat2-distortion-pedal](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/10079772-pro-co-rat2-distortion-pedal) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-07-04*
