Summary: A Great Design Doesn't Need Updates--the Rat still Rocks
Comment: I got my first RAT way the heck back in 1984 when I was 14. I actually won it as a door prize at a Seattle Music Grand reopening party where I went to buy my first electric guitar (an Arbor les paul gold-top copy). I used that pedal for 26 years before finally loaning it to a guitarist who claims to have lost it (yeah right buddy). This model here is the same as the one I got way back then, and it sounds fantastic. The other reviewer here is right, it sounds and operates a bit like a Big Muff Pi, but without some of the wilder harmonics that the Big Muff manages. For hard rock and Metal, it's incredible. You can also dial in smoother tones with really good sustain for a great tone on a blues solo. This thing is virtually indestructible. Besides being a great guitar pedal, it's also a really good bass distortion because you can dial back the treble tone and push the fundamental frequencies of the bass harder. Over the years I've also tried the wider-bodied version of the rat, and tested some of the newer rat models. I realize Proco wants to make other models to appeal to customers they aren't yet reaching, but really, this is the best pedal they've ever made, and if they ever quit producing it, it would be a crying shame. Since losing my original, I've bought another, and I still love this pedal 24 years after first playing with it.

Summary: the rat delivers
Comment: I've owned my rat for over 15 years, and it STILL works just like the day I purchased it. The distortion may not be for some, it can get muddy and fuzzy sounding, but it's easily corrected with a good set up. It won't make a crappy amp sound good or a bad guitar set up sound good, but it shines with a quality rig. It's built to last and ALL heavy duty. The RAT is not a modern sounding distortion. It's more of an old school Marshall stack sound, a tube amp overdriven sound. It will be perfect to color your sound and be a part of ANY rig even if used part time. The RAT is an important sound in the brief history of rock guitar. If you don't own this, you need to.

Summary: Not a distortion pedal, not a fuzz pedal...
Comment: ...It's a Rat! This box will do everything from subtle overdrive breakup, to heavy distortion, to full on fuzz. The sustain the Rat gives you is pretty incredible as well. If your looking for a traditional fuzz pedal you may want to look elsewhere. The Rat fuzz is more like that of the Big Muff Pi, without overwhelming your guitar's natural tone.
It can be used to play anything from classic rock right up to industral or metal. It's used by Blur, Tom Petty, Dandy Warhols, Stabbing Westward, The Melvins, Remy Zero, and The Psychedelic Furs just to give an example of its range.
It's built like a tank. You'd be hard pressed to break it. If you drop it there's a better change the floor would be damaged before the Rat.
