The beauty of the RAT 2 lies in its versatility. Used as a primary distortion, it excels at arena rock rhythm tones and soaring leads. Do you have a powerful amp with too much headroom for the gig? The RAT 2 nails that sweet spot where a tube amp goes from sparkly clean to warm overdrive. Maybe you already love your amp's distortion. Use the RAT 2 as a boost for solos and get the extra kick you need.For any further queries please contact Pro Co's Technical Assistance (800) 467-2726 x1206 / Customer Service (800) 467-2726 x1123 / Quality Assurance (800) 467-2726 x2306.

 So my amp already has a crunchy tone and it sounds like this [Music] and when we turn on the pedal, it sounds like this [Music] um [Applause] hmm [Music] [Music] So I really hope this little demonstration was helpful for you and could show you how versatile this iconic pedal is. Even more than four decades after it's originally released, it's still worth buying in my opinion and it's overall a great pedal. What do you think about the Proco Red? Do you own one or want to get one? Let me know down in the comments. Alright, that was it for today's video

 Just crank the distortion and the filter all the way up and you get some fuzzy tones [Music] [Applause] So [Music] hmm [Music] um [Music] and I also made a quick track with some fuzz tones and it sounds like this: [Music] [Applause] [Music] do [Music] [Music] So the last way how you can use this pedal is as a boost and with that I mean a boost for an already overdriven amp or pedal. So for that we turn the volume all the way up and the distortion. Yeah, just like this, so not all the way to zero. So here at around nine o'clock and the filter really depends on your taste, but it makes sense to leave it in the left area so we got more heights in it

 so you really have to turn down the distortion almost to zero, just a little bit up and the filter really depends on your personal taste. I like it before 12 o'clock and again a clean sound [Music] [Applause] [Music] Oh, it also sounds really good with single [Music] coils [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and I also recorded a quick tune for the overdrive sounds and it sounds like this: [Music] So [Music] the next way how you can use this pedal is as some kind of first pedal so it's pretty easy. Just crank the distortion and the filter all the way up and you get some fuzzy tones [Music] [Applause] So [Music] hmm [Music] um [Music] and I also made a quick track with some fuzz tones and it sounds like this: [Music] [Applause] [Music] do [Music] [Music] So the last way how you can use this pedal is as a boost and with that I mean a boost for an already overdriven amp or pedal. So for that we turn the volume all the way up and the distortion

 So we have three controls here, a distortion filter and volume control. Distortion for the amount of gain, volume for the overall volume and the filter control doesn't work like a tone control so it's more like a low pass filter. So when we turn it to the left it gets more bright and when we turn it to the right it gets more low end. So this is my clean guitar sound

4 Tips How You Can Use The ProCo Rat 2 Distortion

 Okay, and as you increase the distortion obviously, yeah, all right, a little more. Okay, let's turn the distortion all the way up. and let's go with the neck pickup on this one. Hey Whoo! that is huge! Let's check out the filter knob

 and the other way it gets darker. so not like a traditional tone knob. It's more of a high-end cut or boost. And finally, the volume control

 All right, let's listen to the Rat at a lower distortion setting. with the filter at about 12 o'clock and the volume set roughly at Unity gain you pretty huge right off the bat. Okay, and as you increase the distortion obviously, yeah, all right, a little more. Okay, let's turn the distortion all the way up

 It's your basic 3 knob fuzz overdrive, distortion box, distortion control, filter control, volume control, and an on/off switch with the red light indicator let you know you're on or off. The Rat 2 came out in 1988 and one of the biggest changes was the sloped front. It's got heavy duty metal housing, switches and knobs, so this thing can really take it. It's designed to be used on stage

Pro Co Rat 2 Distortion/Fuzz/Overdrive Pedal Demo - Sweetwater Sound

 I actually had the Turbo Rat, which had the same op amp but just some different diodes for more output and a different flavor of clipping. It was an aggressive sound, but it really worked with the amp I was playing through, which was a solid state Carvin, a great clean tone but absolutely no breakup on its own. For a while I strayed away from the Rat because I was in search of something else, a little bit more touch sensitive, something that would clean up better with the guitar's volume knob. But it wasn't until I recently picked up a vintage Rat reissue with some crazy mods on it that I realized this was a sound that I've been looking for for a long time, and I really missed it

 So... another thing about the rad is that doesn't have a ton of output like your average overdrive unity gain I found to be about three o'clock on the volume knob and that's why a lot of guys mod these to use a different kind of diode clipping like an LED or just a diode lift which really bumps the volume up way past unity gain there's also a real special compressed quality that happens when you increase the distortion nearly all the way it gets that spongy attack and it's really cool it makes me want to just hit the strings and hear the sound bounce back at me as far as cleanup goes the rat isn't one of those pedals that gets crystal clear but it really enables you to back off and get sort of a dirty crunch and then ease back into a lead tone you let's switch over to some single coils because that's where I think this rat really shines you get that compression and sag and a smooth tone which is a great match for spiky single coils well there's a look at a vintage rat the rat to specifically and you can find these and the newer reissues from proko all day long on reverb calm thanks for watching

1988 ProCo Rat 2: Andy's Vintage Picks | Reverb Tone Report

 I should have spent the money in the beginning had I been more educated on Rat pedals. Grab it if you can. The prices are great when its on sale !

 I already took two pedals off my board and have extra space. You can go from saturated cleans to twangy country southern rock, to classic rock and high gain metal territory. If you have a tube amp it would serve as an overdrive plus distortion. Its built like a tank and access in the back to wiring

My First Rat 2 Impressions

 Let's see yes I was not mistaken. So when you move it to the right it gets darker. more more lows [Music] Kind of fun. Let's let's go the extreme other way

 Let's go back down to halfway. Now we want to do is here the filter which is basically the Eq sweep and I believe it goes to the opposite direction of most pedals. so if I turn this way maybe it gets darker. I haven't tried yet

 Now we're gonna just start everything at 12 o'clock That's how I'd like to start pedals, but let's hear this clean tone. Got the Les Paul You know I was thinking rock so we've got the clean Les Paul sound coming out of this amp [Music] So with the Rat, everything at 12 o'clock activate [Music] so you can hear not a lot of volume with everything at 12 o'clock. so when everything's I guess he could call that neutral when everything's at 12 [Music] the volume goes down, but you got a lot of raunchy hard rock sounding distortion so let's just bring the volume up. I Like to switch back and forth from my clean zone to to a be the volume differences

 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

Better Than Most Guitarists Assume

I bought a Proco RAT 2 in 1988. I knew nothing about pedals except that I wanted to make a lot of noise. Test of time: they're still making 'em and they're still popular.

You can add your first gear if you want to. I’ll start: 

I had the DigiTech Whammy, paired with an Epiphone Les Paul Special and a Fender Frontman amp. 

What’d you guys have?

What was your first pedal?

 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

 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

 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

 No hum. No buzz. And no loss or increase of your overall level when you engage the unit. Flawless comes to mind here

The best I've ever used. Period.

 None can do more than this. Somewhere scurrying around in your gear bag, there needs to be a Rat.

 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
