Manufacturer's ID: RAT2

Do you straddle the fine line between the traditional guitarist and the constant innovator? Are you just as comfortable laying back in the pocket as you are taking a solo with a foot up on the monitor? If this sounds like you, The RAT 2 will be your go-to distortion pedal for every gig, whether it's rock, blues, punk, or jazz.

Specification

This is the classic RAT tone. The standard that all other distortion devices are measured against. Heard on thousands of recordings, it has helped define the sound of the past three decade's most influential bands.

The beauty of the RAT 2 lies in its versatility. Used as a primary distortion, it excels at arena rock rhythm tones and soaring leads. Do you have a powerful amp with too much headroom for the gig? The RAT 2 nails that sweet spot where a tube amp goes from sparkly clean to warm overdrive. Maybe you already love your amp's distortion. Use the RAT 2 as a boost for solos and get the extra kick you need.

The RAT 2 features the legendary the legendary RAT Filter control. Turn it to the right to roll off brittle high-end frequencies. Having trouble cutting through the mix? Turn the Filter down and allow the natural brightness of your instrument to shine through. The Distortion and Volume controls dial in the perfect amount of gain while keeping the level consistent with your clean tone. While there's no mistaking the legendary RAT tone when the pedal is on, true bypass switching guarantees that no extra noise will creep into your signal when it's turned off.

Alan L. - 4/9/2024

Iconic tones and incredible build quality. This might not appeal to everyone based on it being a distortion pedal, but the sweep of control is much wider than you might imagine… in reality there are aspects of fuzz, overdrive and distortion to be found in a Rat, so it’s one that most players will find something to suit their taste with a little tweaking.

Christian G. - 28/7/2024

Great piece of kit.

David B. - 22/7/2024

Remarkable pedal this. Very cheap compared to others, but works exceptionally well on both guitar and bass, and is solidly built too. A no-brainer bargain.

Julie R. - 21/7/2024

All I can say is this pedal is the Bees knees when it comes to distortion, turn it up or have half way it just blows every other pedal clean out of the park. Buy one and hear for yourself.

Phil M. - 3/6/2024

Fantastic 10 out of 10 for build, price and quality

Harri M. - 13/3/2023

Awesome distortion pedal. Just as I hoped, it sounds proper 80s! Built like a tank too. Simple controls, easy to operate.

Sebastian L. - 12/3/2023

Best distortion I’ve ever had. From overdrive to full on muff. Very flexible.
