{"product_id":"proco-lilrat-distorsion-346964","title":"Lilrat - Distorsion","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA cult distortion, condensed into a \"mini\" version\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeard on an impressive number of recordings, the RAT has marked the history of saturated sounds thanks to its unique balance: more aggressive than an overdrive, but more controllable than a fuzz. The \u003cstrong\u003eLil' RAT\u003c\/strong\u003e carries this philosophy in a smaller format, without sacrificing the essentials: a rich grain, musical compression, and the ability to switch from main drive to a powerful boost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis compact version retains the \"plug and play\" spirit of the range: few controls, but a huge palette of textures, from classic rock to punk, through snappy blues, alternative, and even some jazzier approaches when dialing in the saturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor whom and for what: from cutting riffs to singing solos\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pro Co Lil' RAT is aimed at guitarists who want an \u003cstrong\u003eexpressive distortion\u003c\/strong\u003e that's easy to dial in, whether you're a beginner looking for a first serious saturated tone, or an experienced musician seeking a compact pedal with a strong character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003elive\u003c\/strong\u003e settings, it's formidable for cutting through the mix: sharp attack, present mids, and enough gain reserve for dense rhythms as well as sustaining leads. In \u003cstrong\u003estudio\u003c\/strong\u003e, its filter allows quick adjustment of the high frequencies to find the right balance between bite and roundness, depending on the guitar, amp, and mic setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also pairs very well with the guitar's volume control: slightly roll down the volume knob to clean up and open the sound, then roll it back up to instantly regain bite and saturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls and design: three potentiometers, a true sonic palette\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lil' RAT gets straight to the point with three controls, calibrated to be immediately useful. The \u003cstrong\u003eDISTORTION\u003c\/strong\u003e knob adjusts the amount of saturation: turning it left yields a snappy, articulate crunch, then as you turn it up you gain sustain, compression, and density, up to more abrasive textures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eFILTER\u003c\/strong\u003e is the secret weapon of the RAT family: it \"sculpts\" the upper spectrum by removing more or fewer highs. The more you turn it right, the rounder and darker the sound becomes\u0026#59; to the left, the guitar regains bite and presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eVOLUME\u003c\/strong\u003e controls the output level independently of the gain: handy for balancing your volume in bypass, or conversely pushing the amp's input for more impact. On the build side, you find the Pro Co approach: \u003cstrong\u003e100% analog signal processing\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003etrue bypass\u003c\/strong\u003e, components and assembly designed to withstand rehearsals and stage use, with electronics on \u003cstrong\u003eglass epoxy\u003c\/strong\u003e and a battery access advertised as simple (battery sold separately).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lil' RAT stands out with a \u003cstrong\u003edense grain\u003c\/strong\u003e and slightly rough distortion, with a sensation of \u003cstrong\u003esolid mids\u003c\/strong\u003e that helps the guitar remain clear in a band context. It can be biting and aggressive for punk or rock riffs, but also surprisingly singing for solos, especially when the Filter is set to let just the right amount of highs through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts dynamics are very sensitive to playing: hitting hard makes the sound tighten and compress more\u0026#59; playing lighter (or lowering the guitar volume) makes it more open and airy. This is typically the kind of pedal that \"responds\" to your right hand and gives real personality to any clean or slightly crunchy amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
