Arguably the best distortion pedal I've ever owned. If you have a Boss DS-1 (or similar) try this. It's different from the Boss, but in a wonderful way. Just buy one, you won't be sorry

I have distortion pedals more expensive to than the pro co rat. But none hold a candle to this. Low gain through single coils. Instant pinkfloyd-y goodness. Run it through humbuckers and crank it a bit more I'm in Metallica territory. Amazing. Can't stop playing it.

Sounds amazing and build quality is perfect. Lost 1 star just due to it being really tall (has to go on bottom level of Pedaltrain) and required a bit of DIY to mount

Classic pedal, extraordinary value. Agree with JHS show, indistinguishable from vintage versions. Sounds great with strat and tele.

Superb pedal. Just the sound I needed for 70's Punk.

Reviews suggested that this would be ideal for a bass distortion pedal, they weren’t wrong. This thing rocks, a great range of tones from the Beastie Boys, through to Muse via Dessert Sessions!

Excellently built, really wide range of tones and everything from light overdrive to brutal distortion which borders on fuzz at some settings

worked very well and was a great present! being a present however, it was a bit awkward to give someone a box that was scratched and had holes in it.

For the price of this pedal, definitely worth it. Such a classic distortion sound

I love the low gain sounds and wanted something for my Princeton + es335 that was raspy and not mid heavy. Endless Boogie was the aim.
The rat is perfect for this,.. like a blues driver but more nasty.

Classic distortion pedal, but surprisingly versatile if you dial down the dirt.

I’ve always wanted one since knowing Graham Coxon and a bunch of other heroes used them. It didn’t disappoint.

The Rat is a legend, It has a great tone and a myriad of sounds you can dial in with small adjustments. I use this as a jazz guitarist. If you're not familiar with jazz or think it's just one sound it really isn't. It's ideal for a more driven, modern contemporary jazz guitar sound and I was drawn to it as it's used by jazz greats Kurt Rosenwinkel (do check him out, he's superb) and John Scofield.
I used to play a lot of metal, in the past (Dream Theater, Vai etc) so I still like to use it for this too.

Very “fuzzy” bit great sounding for crunch up to blistering Overdriven solos. Pedalboard users beware: it has feet!

Somewhat agricultural in nature and not for tweakers, but so much fun. There's a reason they still make these things.

Great tones - Spend a little time with it, It has a much larger range than you think. Perfect for that Nirvana/ Foo Fighters distortion/Fuzz.
Its the only distortion pedal I have on my board, no others are needed.

ProCo Rat 2 is a really versatile pedal. It is a little tricky to find the tones I'm looking for, but that is only because there are such a wide range of awesome distortions (and almost Fuzz) available. I bought it to replace my EXH Double ****. It is less fussy about where it sits in the signal chain and more than makes up for the **** which has now been off my board for nearly a month. Sounds great in front of my Laney VC30. Sounds great on both the clean and dirty channels. It is much better than my amp distortion, which was lacking a little. The pedal was tricky to mount on my pedal board - the only negative point - but you can get around this with a little creative DIY. I used 2 Warhammer movement trays to make a little pedal mount for it and it's now solidly attached to my Pedaltrain.
