I was going through my old pedals today and came across my Rat pedal [not to be confused with the Turbo Rat]. This little number rocks and delivers great sound even at a low volume, which means it's great for late night practicing.

Just a couple of knobs makes it easy to use.

Since this is a music gear review forum I actually wanted to give a short review/ shout out about something I think others out there would like.

Would this by chance be an original Pro Co Rat from 1978 or one of the later models? I used to have a '78 and really loved it.

You mean that you have the original Pro Co RAT? You have made me curious now. There are literally hundreds of types of Rats. I don't have one myself since I am not a professional. I am just learning to play the guitar.

I've never heard of that. I have a Big Muff from the mid-seventies and I played with a guy who used a Tube Screamer.

Is the rat a fuzz box like the Big Muff or more of an effect that gives cleaner crunch?
