Boss Metal Zone vs Proco Rat Distortion

Don't dare to be amazed by turning up all dials. You will need to meticulously couture the shape of the distortion by turning the dials to find that sweet sound that you desire.

I play my USA Strat with Lawrence Wilde L45S humbucking pickups (single coil size) into a very good tube amp and I find this thing useable for anything from a light breakup tube-like blues tone to an all-out fuzz with sustain forever. I could use this in place of other pedals I use now. Will this replace the best overdrive, best distortion or best fuzz pedal out there? No. And that's a matter of personal taste anyway

Great pedal to add to my collection of BOSS pedals. Super happy with this pedal. Very durable and always works with many features.

You could go through a slew of pedals before finding one that accomplishes everything the Rat does. It's an old, reliable friend. Not merely an ally. A reliable friend along your guitar journey

Very high quality pedal, very solid design. Love that it interfaces perfectly with my new Boss pedal board.

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
