There’s probably a couple of hundred Rat videos out there, and I’ve watched plenty of them, but I’m being completely honest when I say this is the best, most useful Rat video I’ve seen. Excellent work.
This is the only one I’ve seen that demonstrates the versatility of this rodent. I got a Wampler Ratsbane a few months ago as a distortion pedal. Much to my surprise, the low gain settings are really cool and the pedal is much more touch sensitive than most distortions. Put your favorite “transparent” overdrive in front and you might start giggling like I did. Moderate fuzz => Univibe => rat => rock n’ roll 😎 I love this guy’s approach to a demo. Here is what the controls are and how they work. This is what you expect it to sound like. Now here are other ways to use the pedal, both guitar alone and *importantly* in a mix. Well done!
Thank you sir. I have watched a LOT of pedal demos in my day. None even comes close to this. Your use of each example in an actual mix is the one thing missing from all other demos. Five stars.
I have 2 of them. I haven't used them in quite a while. I had forgotten what they sound like. Now I have to pull one out and play with it. I have a 1976 Marshall Master Model Lead II. An old leatherface with a matching 1960A cabinet. It's a screamer of an amp.
My rat pedal sounds like shit no matter what guitar or amp it's plugged into. It sounds like a Gorilla amp with a blown speaker. At least it's cheap. Buy at your own risk, you've been warned.
Just like many of the comments below...Great job on the demo ....very informative!!! Answered many of my questions about the pedal...thanks again for the help....and you kill it my friend...all of the demos ripped...keep em coming...
The best distortion sounds from a RAT are around one and two o'clock on the distortion knob. He didn't demonstrate that. 12 o'clock on the distortion of is good for rhythm; but doesn't sizzle enough for soloing.
Just ordered mine after seeing your vids and borrowing one at a practice. This vid is extremely helpful in dialing in the main uses and I very much appreciate it!
Your "clean" sound is fairly dirty and sounds better than with the pedal on. But when you have your amp set to a "dirty" tone it sounds great and with the Rat it's magical.
4 Tips How You Can Use The ProCo Rat 2 Distortion: - Book rest - Hand held riot missile - Meat tenderizer - Funny hat Bonus: To do “hip to be square” without even plugging in a guitar.
Great video. Great playing and at long last someone who uses an SG and plays chords and riffs and not just shredding or demoing Fuzz tones on single coils guitars alone. I've been using The RAT pedal now for some time. I use a Gibson SG with the RAT through both a marshall 1987x plexi and an Orange OR50 run together. There is in my opinion no finer tone. I use mine as a stand alone Fuzz and it makes me wonder why I ever even went spending money on boutique pedals when the RAT nails it all for a fraction of the price. Plus the pedal has such pedigree too.
When I was playing guitar in my younger days, I was using 2x Rats. I was playing mostly heavy doom / stoner stuff. I had a Rat 2, Ram Head Big Muff and Turbo Rat. One Rat was used as a mild distortion AC/DC kind of tone and the other one was used as a boost, kinda like a Tube Screamer or Super Overdrive. Many people don’t think about the Rat that way, but it can be a really sweet fat boost! My lead sound was the Rat boosting the Big Muff and everything in the house was shaking!
That is the exact set-up I am using now. I was inspired by Corgan’s Siamese Dream rig (which was an Op-Amp Big Muff being boosted by an MXR Distortion II). I found I love the mix of a Ram’s Head Big Muff with the fat boost of Rat beneath.
Many years ago a friend had a rackmount RAT that was basically two circuits in one rackmount box. Same thing, set one up for crunch, the other to boost that crunch into smoother leads.
Metallica used this pedal in their album ‘Kill em all’ I read about the pro co rat 2. It’s an amazing pedal Coldplay even used the pedal for their songs as well. But my favourite song with the pro co rat distortion would be Territorial Pissings by nirvana
Great demo! It's super useful that you show how the pedal sounds in a mix, that's something I really miss in most guitar demos. My Rat's on the way, can't wait :)
The Rat is almost the perfect drive pedal. The only thing it could really use is a post-gain bass boost control to recover some of the shelved-off bottom end when doing low gain sounds.
It's just so beautiful where you got that beefy drive and hint of fuzz in the highs that adds some sort of saturation. The fuzz is there to add character, but not be overbearing. Your main setting is perfect
Great demo. It's nice to see someone demoing the Rat who understands the pedal and how it works. It's certainly one of the best distortion pedals ever created. While I don't use one now (I sold my last Rat a year ago) I think it's great for classic rock and British metal, especially with Marshall style amps. It feels good to play it, very organic. But you really have to dial in this pedal carefully, it's very hairy. Now, there are pedals with way more gain these days, but they don't have the feel, the soul that the Rat does. I think they work best with humbuckers and testing it with the SG and Marshall Origin was a smart move. It's the opposite of a transparent overdrive, like a Tube Screamer or Boss SD-1.
Does anyone know how well this pedal would blend with a 65 princeton & a Strat? I really want a nice blues crunch as well as go ZZ Top, Thin Lizzy, WASP, Judas Priest, (old)MotleyCrue as well. And "how good a tone" is the low gain crunch in that configuration for mellow slow blues. Like does it have as nice a tones as the "Hot Cake" OD, and BossBD2?
Dude I have been playing 38 years. I owned the original at one time Rat pedal, I now have the new version and I have never been able to get this pedal newer or older to sound good. I listen to you playing with them and it sounds great being recorded, but live I always seem to kick it off my board and in a cabinet it sits collecting dust. I have nice guitars, Marshall Amp with 2X12 Marshall Cab that has the Creamback H and V30 mix that is fantastic sounding when a little bit of eq is used and pushed with just a cheap ass capt silver OD pedal with a TS808 circuit in it. I cannot recall if I have used this pedal since the new cabinets upgraded speakers, and might have to give the pedal another chance.
Great video Sasha! This was the 2nd pedal I ever bought way back in 1989 (or was it 1990?, or 1991?) Whatever the case it's an old friend that keeps coming back to my board. This has me reconsidering a pedalboard setup that occurred to me several years ago, have three Rat pedals each set for a different sound and use a pedal switcher to select which sound I want.
Absolutely nailed it with this demo, great job. Really good choice of amp too, so nice to hear a RAT with a Marshall & Greenback IRs rather than the usual Fenders.
I see RAT, I click! Subscribed as well! Great video. I think more videos need to be made on the RAT as it is a super versatile pedal, maybe the most versatile dirt pedal out there and unbeatable for the price. $65 for a pedal that’s been used by some of the best players of all time and still currently is being used by guys like Tom Bukovac because you can’t deny when something sounds good, it sounds good. The price is irrelevant when it comes to the RAT. You really can get a perfect rhythm crunch tone, a fuzz type tone and a soaring lead tone. If all you had was a good amp, one guitar and just the RAT for a rock gig you would be able to play a whole show with it. Great video and topic.
Cool brother !!! I wanna sing like Danzig over that !!!!!! Sounds silly but there's not many vids explaining the basic controls of a few of the most common pedals on the market Stay heavy 🤟🤪🤪🤟
Thank you, should get one you showed it is good and if j. Scofield uses it it must be good. I like the simplicicity of the three knobs and i already have a Ts 9 which is very good in front of it (as showed by someone else)
With some reverb or a little delay this could be my favorite distortion pedal. We'll see. I just ordered it. I have 4 other brands and they are all either too bright or too fat. Either that or it's my 56 year old 👂 ears.
I have a Rat clone that sounds "off". Other videos don't offer as complete a look at the Rat pedal as your video. I'm psyched to compare this to my pedal and see if I can dial that sucker in or if I need to chuck it in the bin. Thanks!
I heard this was used to make the backing solo in “Rebel Yell” that everyone mistakenly believes is a synth! Can anyone confirm and link to an example?
These are great tones! I was wondering what amp you were using, because it absolutely fits my taste. Then I realized it was a Marshall Origin 20H and this once more shows that I did everything correctly when I chose my Marshall as my go-to amp.
Great demo, if you do any more with the rat could you demo the strat with medium distortion and then roll off the volume to see what kind of smooth overdrive sounds can be had that way - great demo though - gave it a like 👍 for sure
i use it as tone shaper to tame uncontrolable gain = max gain on amp by reducing the input to amp & itroducing a sligth cliping of its caracter results noisless usable tigth distortion/fuzlike tone
What about the all the way distorted but high black metal sound? I was kind of expecting that at the end. Anyway, great video and nice tracks, I really liked them. :)
huh i’ve only ever been able to get eat piercing screeching out of mine. i’ll have to try out these ways and maybe get an tone that’s actually enjoyable to listen to
thanks for the set up ideas for the RAT. I just built one and wanted hear how close mine sounded and this video not only did that, but also has great pedal settings. I got the filter backward tho, mine is brighter to the right, oh well.. it reacts like a tone knob. great vid
What you are doing at 03:07 with the overdrive sounds is exactly how I use to use my old Rat2 from 1987. It did the best OD sounds, just pushing the signal right up to the point of breakup so that it was clean-ish during regular picking and struming, but if you whacked the strings, it clipped. Glorious. Haven't had a Rat in a long time, might need to get a new one.
They tried to sell me this at guitar center today and I was like “nah I’m good” because they seemed desperate to sell them and the name threw me off a little but now I stand corrected
Demoing this with the lowest drive setting as an Overdrive was something I hadn't thought about. It sounds perfect in overdrive and distortion. The JHS 3 series distortion pedal is based on the Rat but it felt really tight and really bright on the strum, the Tioga Road Cycling Animals Pedal is also a Rat clone, I also had that pedal for a little while. It had a loose gain feel with a delayed sag feel on the strum. Getting the original ProCo Rat is the only way to go. In the videos on the channel called Shnobel, that guy Doctor Guitar demos the new Lil Rat Pedal and this full size pedal. He mentions that the two pedals have a different midrange tones. Again, buying these new full sized Rat 2 pedals are the way to go. Unless of course you can afford a vintage Rat. Preferably with some rust on the case providing some contrast to mix in with the new school pedals on your pedalboard

I agree. This is the best demo of the Rat I've seen.
agreed!
Agreed here too. It turns out the RAT is a lot more versatile than most give it credit for. Very very nice job on the video.
Totally agree! Awesome demo!

NICE job
Great demonstration of the versatility of the pedal
Super gutes Demo. Ich habe mir gleich mal ne Ratte bestellt. Klasse Sound, auch toll gespielt. 👏👍
i have never had a pedal before and i got it as a gift and im SO DAMN EXCITED. ITS AWESOME.
Your video convinced me that i need a rat more than a tubescreamer....sold
thank you mate nice review
Glad I could help you 😁
Rat and Screamer sound really good stacked!
Crazy how versatile and how good sounding this old and relatively cheap pedal sounds
I have found that the Rat is really really good at the Def Leppard style distorted arpeggios. Really clear and sounds great for that type of thing.
I love the double-cut junior on the wall behind you!! So sick!
What a demo ! Thank you!
RAT has a midrange that just works. You don’t have to play super loud as it’s just at the right frequency to cut through and jump out of a band mix.
My rat pedal sounds like shit no matter what guitar or amp it's plugged into. It sounds like a Gorilla amp with a blown speaker. At least it's cheap. Buy at your own risk, you've been warned.
Just like many of the comments below...Great job on the demo ....very informative!!! Answered many of my questions about the pedal...thanks again for the help....and you kill it my friend...all of the demos ripped...keep em coming...

Rat forever! Good vibe, thnx man!🤘🏻

I sold boss ds2 and got proco rat2 instead. Absolutely happy with it

Nice sounds 🍻 👏
Great demo. Your video convinced me to get one.
Enjoyed the demo very much. Thanks!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
2:30 wow sound good, with sg guitar
This was great! Thank you so much.
great as a booster!
Nice video! Love the Rat!
great playing man!
I wonder if we can do the same trick using the mosky black rat clone
Your "clean" sound is fairly dirty and sounds better than with the pedal on. But when you have your amp set to a "dirty" tone it sounds great and with the Rat it's magical.
Great reviews! Very nicely explained.
Thank you!
Sorry if I missed it: what amp are you using? It’s the perfect neutral base for showing off distortion pedals.
THANKS ..!!’❤
Hi man great demo, i subscribe your channel, greetings from Italy ;)
Thanks a lot :)
The fuzz track reminds me of the band Fu Manchu
4 Tips How You Can Use The ProCo Rat 2 Distortion:
- Book rest
- Hand held riot missile
- Meat tenderizer
- Funny hat
Bonus: To do “hip to be square” without even plugging in a guitar.
The only thing just as cool as that video was that when I hit the like button it went from 999 to 1k. Yay! 🎉
Haha thank you! Didn’t knew it’s already that much 🤯
Once u said 'boost' i was like "okay dude, sell me on this idea."
Volume is always cranked for me, overhead is razor thin..
I use this to make my guitar sound like the guitar in the Guilty Gear 1 soundtrack.
I love the sound of this pedal but it needs a bass boost. It's so midrangey. I wish they made an eq version.
Как он себя ведёт с маршал ориджин? Присматриваюсь к этому усилителю и у тебя вроде он есть?
Thank you for playing chords! Very much appreciated 😂. Sounds killer
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Ahah true ! We don’t all play gigs with 2hours of solo and noodling haha

This might be the most well done pedal demo I’ve ever seen. You rock brother
I still love the HM2 as my main "kick the amp in the face" pedal but the Rat will always be KING.
When I was playing guitar in my younger days, I was using 2x Rats. I was playing mostly heavy doom / stoner stuff. I had a Rat 2, Ram Head Big Muff and Turbo Rat.

Dude I just discovered the same set up. It's amazing!!! Big Muff PI and a rat! Killer tones!
I guess the filter really tightens the Muff up (giggity). I haven’t tried this yet but I want to now.
Many years ago a friend had a rackmount RAT that was basically two circuits in one rackmount box. Same thing, set one up for crunch, the other to boost that crunch into smoother leads.
That’s what trey azagthoth still uses

Thank you!
Hahaha I’ve had one of these for a few months now and you just gave me a few different ways of looking at this thing. Thanks man.
Great that I could help you with the video 😁
This info should come as "how to use" instructions when you buy a RAT. Thanks a lot, I've had the rat for years but didn't know some of these setups!
Thank you! Glad my video helped you 😊
Get a Rat and an eq pedal and you will have every distortion type 😃

Sounds silly but there's not many vids explaining the basic controls of a few of the most common pedals on the market
Stay heavy 🤟🤪🤪🤟
Bought one of these yesterday didn’t realise it had a different power input to my other pedals 🤦♂️ ordered an adapter can’t wait to test it out
I have a question everyone, i'm about to buy a Marshall MG15GFX and i want to pair it with this pedal, will it be possible?
The demo that i am looking for..not just busting through random blues scale and shredding..great playing and explanation!
I ordered this pedal today, before even listening to how it sounds. Well spent money.
Thank you, should get one you showed it is good and if j. Scofield uses it it must be good. I like the simplicicity of the three knobs and i already have a Ts 9 which is very good in front of it (as showed by someone else)
I always avoided this pedal as int the majority of videos the sound seems horrible but you changed my mind 😅
With some reverb or a little delay this could be my favorite distortion pedal. We'll see. I just ordered it. I have 4 other brands and they are all either too bright or too fat. Either that or it's my 56 year old 👂 ears.

It would be nice to add a p90 junior type to the comparative sound ! Thx !
I heard this was used to make the backing solo in “Rebel Yell” that everyone mistakenly believes is a synth! Can anyone confirm and link to an example?
Holy Sh*t! I Love This Thing! Great Video! Thank You! ❤️🙏🏻🕊🎸

How to use the Rat pedal? Well, just play it and change settings. Duh
with my cheap amp I can't get the same result . what is your amp?
my proco rat2 has this sag issue when i’m using guitars with humbuckers.
They tried to sell me this at guitar center today and I was like “nah I’m good” because they seemed desperate to sell them and the name threw me off a little but now
I stand corrected
I will never see a rat review more complete and well done than yours 🤠😎
Nirvana and Metallica used this pedal!!
