The ProCo RAT distortion pedal is a highly revered device that has become the base-mark on which distortion pedals are compared. Its design has become a recognisable classic, and it delivers a wide range of distortion tones that can verge on fuzz sounds; no surprise when you consider that ProCo began life repairing fuzz pedals. The RAT design has been through several incarnations and features in countless recordings with its distinct distortion tones.
JHS has taken the classic RAT pedal and managed to find room for improvement with its ProCo RAT2 Pack Rat Mod. The internal micro-chip has been replaced with a new chip that features lower internal noise and a more organic response. The new circuit gives all the feel and 'mojo' of the original RAT pedal but with a more well-rounded response. The modified RAT2 Pack Rat uses higher quality capacitors and a few altered cap values to produce an optimum bass response and smooth high frequencies.
JHS like to add extra functionality with their modifications, and the Pack Rat is no different. Alongside the original RAT2 DISTORTION, FILTER, and LEVEL controls, JHS has installed a 3-way toggle to alter the clipping response of the circuit. This gives you the option of creating a vintage tone, going onto to a clean boost sound and finally into a turbo RAT sound for all-out distortion.
The original RAT2 pedal was surprisingly versatile through its wide gain range and filer control options. The JHS Pack Rat provides even more scope for tonal sculpting and can be used for a wide variety of sounds - clean boost, light overdrive, crunchy rhythm, British rock sounds, fuzz; everything is now possible with the RAT2 modified Pack Rat pedal.
