Pro Co RAT2 Distortion Pedal

The Pro Co RAT2 is an iconic distortion pedal in the RAT family. Its distinct tone sets the standard for other effect devices. What makes the RAT2 truly special is its versatility. As a primary distortion, it's perfect for arena - rock rhythm tones and soaring lead solos. If your powerful amp has too much headroom for a gig, the RAT2 hits that sweet spot where a tube amp transitions from clean to warm overdrive. Even if you love your amp's distortion, use the RAT2 as a solo boost for an extra kick. The RAT2 features the famous RAT Filter control. Turning it right reduces harsh high - end frequencies. If you're having trouble standing out in the mix, lower the Filter to let your instrument's natural brightness shine. The Distortion and Volume controls let you dial in the ideal gain while keeping the volume consistent with your clean tone. With true - bypass switching, when the pedal is off, your sound remains pure and uncolored.

Using the Pro Co RAT2 is a breeze. First, connect it to your guitar and amplifier. If you want to change the overall tone, start by adjusting the Distortion and Volume controls. These will help you get the right amount of gain and keep the volume level in line with your clean tone. The RAT Filter control is very useful. If the high - end frequencies sound too brittle, turn it to the right. If you're struggling to be heard in the mix, turn it down. When using the RAT2 as a boost for solos, simply step on the pedal to activate it. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry place away from extreme temperatures. Make sure the connections are clean and tight. When not in use, unplug it to save power and extend its lifespan. And remember, the true - bypass feature means you don't have to worry about any sound coloration when the pedal is off.
