About ProCo Pedals

ProCo Pedals can be heard on thousands of records and they are probably a part of the tone on your favourite albums! From Nirvana, to Hozier, and even Metallica, the ProCo Rat has been the go to distortion pedal in the studio and on stage. The Rat is a unique distortion effect that sits somewhere between distortion and fuzz. It is fat and aggressive sounding. Lots of pro players swear by the Rat and its bold yet useful sound. Sometimes a powerful amp can have too much headroom, and the Rat is a fantastic way to dial in a huge distortion tone over your clean channel or give that extra kick to your rhythm channel. The Rat pedal isn't a one trick pony though it can be used for anything from mild overdrive, to arena rock rhythm tones, and soaring leads. The now legendary Rat Filter control allows you to dial in your tone, turning to the right will round off brittle high end frequencies, to the left and the natural brightness of your guitar will shine through. True Bypass switching guarantees your signal stays clean when not in use so the Rat pedal stays out of your way when not needed!
