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: One of the Best Pedals - RAT is such a fantastic pedal. This was my first pedal and I am so glad I got it. The thing is built like a tank and the value is incredible. The RAT is extremely versatile. Its a distortion pedal but you can make it act like a fuzz pedal and an overdrive.

## 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.
