A Distortion That Became a Reference, at the Heart of the "RAT" DNA
The PRO CO Rat 2 is one of those distortion pedals that have marked the history of electric guitar. Its circuit has become a standard for those seeking a tone that is both sharp, singing, and capable of cutting through a mix effortlessly. Within the RAT range, the Rat 2 embodies the classic spirit: a strong character, immediate handling, and a sonic personality recognizable from a mile away.For Whom, Which Styles, and In What Contexts?
The Rat 2 is aimed at guitarists who want expressive distortion, from beginners to seasoned musicians. It shines in rock, punk, blues rock, and hard rock but can also serve as a dirty boost to thicken an already crunchy amp. Live, it provides the punch needed to stand out in solos; in the studio, it offers a straightforward tone, easy to dial in and stack with other effects (compressor, delay, reverb) on a pedalboard.Technical specifications
