I got this pedal to give my little Epiphone 15 tube some distortion.I play a lot of Led Zeppelin, Boston, Jimi Hendrix and Van Halen. So I need a wide range. This pedal has a great variety of distortion and gives a nice warm tone as well. I never turn the distortion past 9 o' clock and it works great!

The Rat is a really good pedal. It gives a nice, creamy distortion that's good for solos and rhythm. it is my first distortion and is a big upgrade from the built in overdrive on my Fender Frontman 212r. Has a great sound for Rock, Alternative, Pop punk and grunge. Really hope this one doesn't get discontinued.

I am very curious as to why this thing has such great reviews. I guess if the only distortion you have used is a ds-1 or some distortion that came from an amp modeler then this thing sounds better. I decided to give this new Chinese made Rat a head-to-head test with an older Rat I have from the early 90s (1991 I think). There was no shock at all in which the winner was.

The new Rat has a very harsh and ugly sound that is not musical at all. I tried pairing with some other distortion pedals I had including an old Big Muff Pi, a Marshall Guv-nor, Metal-Zone, and and even a BK Butler Tube Driver. None of which helped this little sucker out.

I would suggest seaching out one of the older Rats that were made in Michigan. They can be ungodly rude sounding, but with an amazing cruch and musical quality not found in most modern distortions. Props to ProCo for making one of the best sounding distortions ever made. Unfortunately, their pedal-making turned sour when they decided to have their stuff made in China.

This pedal is awesome. I just picked one up today, so i cant make any claims to its durabliaty, but it seems to built very solidly. The distortion is incredible. Its any thing from metal to a nice crunch. A bit trebely, i turned the filter most of the way to the right, but still an awesome sound. only downside is the odd power jack, but its still not to hard to find one that fits.
