{"product_id":"jhs-pedals-packrat-white-distorsion-398868","title":"PACKRAT WHITE - DISTORTION","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Boutique Tribute to One of the Most Iconic Distortions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe JHS PackRat follows in the tradition of distortions inspired by the ProCo RAT, a standard introduced in the late 1970s and essential for its ability to cover a very wide spectrum-from snappy overdrive to compact distortion, with a genuine option to shift into abrasive fuzz. Rather than offering \"just another RAT,\" JHS studied numerous units and condensed historical versions, atypical variants, and modern interpretations into a single pedal, all while maintaining a 100% analog approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Is the PackRat White For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PackRat White targets guitarists (and even bassists) who want \u003cstrong\u003ea big sound immediately usable\u003c\/strong\u003e, but with enough nuance to adapt to different contexts. It suits intermediate to advanced levels while remaining easy to handle for beginners seeking their first serious distortion. In blues-rock, indie, punk, garage, hard rock, stoner, or alternative metal, it excels equally in \u003cstrong\u003erhythmic riffs\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003esharp leads\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the studio, it offers a palette of \"record-ready\" textures\u0026#59; live, its pedal format and straightforward controls allow you to switch from dense crunch to wilder saturation instantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e9 Modes, Simple Ergonomics, Analog Core\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the PackRat is an intentionally familiar operation: \u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e controls output level, \u003cstrong\u003eDistortion\u003c\/strong\u003e adjusts gain and compression, and \u003cstrong\u003eFilter\u003c\/strong\u003e acts as a low-pass filter to tame (or conversely let through) harmonics and the aggressiveness of the high end. The real \"superpower\" is the \u003cstrong\u003e9-position rotary selector\u003c\/strong\u003e : when you change modes, the pedal internally reconfigures component values and clipping stages to replicate the response, gain level, and tone of each variant without relying on digital simulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe OG V1 (1979-83)\u003c\/strong\u003e : the spirit of the earliest versions, snappy, direct, very \"rock\".\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhite Face V3 (1984-1986)\u003c\/strong\u003e : a more \"traditional\" interpretation of the Filter control, very musical.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTurbo V5 (1989)\u003c\/strong\u003e : higher output and more imposing distortion thanks to LED clipping.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBRAT V6 (1997)\u003c\/strong\u003e : a rawer variation with a distinct character.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirty V7 (2004)\u003c\/strong\u003e : grittier and grainier for rougher textures.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLA (1986)\u003c\/strong\u003e : a high-gain oriented variant, incisive and tight.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLandgraff MO'D (1999)\u003c\/strong\u003e : a premium take on the RAT sound, rich and assertive.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaroline Wave Cannon\u003c\/strong\u003e : a modern, expressive, and very lively variation.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJHS Mode\u003c\/strong\u003e : JHS's vision of the circuit, balanced and tailored for the pedalboard.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PackRat White stands out with a \u003cstrong\u003eclear attack\u003c\/strong\u003e and saturation that maintains clarity in the mix. Depending on the mode, you'll move from a compact distortion focused on mids (perfect for making a guitar stand out in a band) to more open, powerful, or abrasive textures. The \u003cstrong\u003eFilter\u003c\/strong\u003e control is the ideal ally to adapt the pedal to your amp and pickups: soften a bright combo or, conversely, let more air and bite through for cutting riffs. Dynamically, it responds very well to right-hand playing and guitar volume, allowing you to \"clean up\" certain modes and retain an organic feel. Among artists often associated with the PackRat are \u003cstrong\u003eNoel Gallagher\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eRob Scallon\u003c\/strong\u003e, proving its relevance both in rock contexts and in more demonstrative, modern approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEffects\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eFuzz, Distortion, Overdrive\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003esector\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eAnalog\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eelectric guitar\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ePedal\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eFilter\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEffect type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eOverdrive \/ Distortion \/ Fuzz (depending on the mode and gain setting)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e6.35 mm mono jack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:9;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e9 selectable modes via a 9-position rotary selector;
