Une pédale de distorsion légendaire depuis 1978 avec un ton de compression dure agressif et brut, un contrôle de filtre inversé unique et un sustain épais qui se situe entre la distorsion et le fuzz.
The ProCo RAT2 is a masterclass in utilitarian design. Its iconic sloping steel chassis isn't just for show; it's built to withstand decades of heavy-footed abuse. Sonically, the RAT2 occupies a unique space where overdrive, distortion, and fuzz intersect. The magic lies in the 'Filter' control"a reverse-taper low-pass filter that allows you to tame the aggressive high-end sizzle without losing the pedal's signature mid-range bite. At lower gain, it provides a gritty, transparent boost; pushed past noon, it transforms into a thick, harmonically rich wall of sound that defined the grunge and indie-rock eras.
While some purists obsess over vintage chip variants, the modern RAT2 remains remarkably consistent, delivering that classic 'snotty' character that cuts through any mix. The pedal's main limitation is its tendency to compress heavily and lose low-end definition at maximum distortion, which can feel 'mushy' for modern metal players requiring tight palm-muting. However, for its price point, the versatility is staggering. It's a rare piece of gear that feels equally at home in a jazz fusion rig as it does in a d-beat punk setup. Whether you are a beginner looking for your first 'real' dirt box or a pro needing a reliable workhorse, the RAT2 is an essential addition to any signal chain.
