Description

The Fat Rat by ProCo is a versatile distortion pedal with a range of features and technical specifications. Here are the details:

- Clipping Section: The pedal features a switchable clipping section, allowing users to choose between silicon clipping, as in the classic RAT, and a MOSFET/germanium clipping section. The MOSFET clipping section provides subtle scoop and smoothing in the upper mids throughout the entire gain range, resulting in a more amp-like and natural sound.

- Socketed Opamp: The pedal is equipped with a socketed opamp, allowing for easy replacement of the stock chip (OP07DP) with other compatible chips, such as the LM308, without the need for soldering.

- Large, CTS Pots: The Fat Rat is designed with large, CTS pots that provide a smooth, even sweep throughout the range of the Distortion, Filter, and Volume controls, enabling easy access to various tonal sweet spots.

- Fat Switch: This feature provides a significant bass boost and simultaneous high cut, making the pedal suitable for bass guitar, lower tunings, and enhancing low gain settings for overdrive use.

- 9 – 18V Operation: The pedal supports increased headroom and fidelity with 18V operation, resulting in less "sagging" compared to older RAT models.

- Additional Features: The pedal also includes a 100% analog signal path, a virtually indestructible steel enclosure, heavy-duty industrial footswitches, knobs, and jacks, an on/off LED indicator, a military-spec glass-epoxy circuit board, and a "no tools required" battery compartment (battery not included). It also comes with a five-year limited warranty and features a 2.1mm standard barrel jack for 9V or 18V operation.

The Fat Rat by ProCo offers musicians and audio enthusiasts a wide range of tonal possibilities and is suitable for various musical applications, including guitar and bass performances.
