Dirty (2004) - In 2002, ProCo released a 2-in-1 RAT pedal called the Deucetone.BRAT (1997) - In 1997 ProCo got into the budget pedal game by releasing the BRAT which added an input buffer circuit and soft clipping (inside the loop of the op amp) on top of the standard hard clipping of the previous RATs.The result is that these diodes clip off the top of the waveform of the guitar and create a type of square wave distortion. Turbo V6 (1989) - The heart of the RAT’s tone comes from a design technique called “Symmetrical Hard Clipping.” In this approach, a simple amplifier circuit amplifies the guitar’s signal and pushes it across a pair of clipping diodes.The word RAT was in all black caps inside the white rectangle this model gained the “White Face RAT” nickname due to this aesthetic. White Face V3 (1984-1986) - In 1984, the RAT transitioned into a smaller “square” enclosure with a new white rectangle logo.This era of roughly four years covers what is referred to historically as the V1 and V2 models. The OG (1979-83) - The OG mode is a perfect recreation of the first production RATs ever made. ![]() The Packrat features nine independent circuits based on various RAT pedals and modded units from over the decades. In the forty plus years since the original RAT was released, the iconic distortion pedal has been through a number of changes. If you purchased these nine hard-to-find pedals on the used market today, you would be several thousand pounds out of pocket without breaking a sweat, so the Packrat represents incredible bang for your buck! 9 Modes Analogue Circuitsįeaturing 100% analogue circuits, each of the nine modes perfectly recreates the respective RAT pedals on which they are based, even down to the aging components (also known as component drift). The result is an all new pedal loaded with nine, that's NINE different RAT modes ranging from the original circuit to JHS's own take on the legendary stompbox. The JHS Packrat is the ultimate tribute to one of the most versatile and influential distortion pedals of all time.the mighty ProCo RAT! JHS tracked down and studied 45 different RAT specimens and interviewed numerous ProCo employees about the circuit design, evolution and production of the RAT over the years. ![]()
