The limited-edition white ProCo RAT2 distortion pedal has been a secret weapon for iconic guitarists for over 40 years. This compact stompbox provides a hard-clipping distortion circuit that injects tube-like warmth and sustain into your rig. Whether you want to saturate a clean amp, boost a high-gain amp into chaos or simply add rich harmonic overtones, the RAT2 delivers. With just three knobs controlling distortion amount, filter and volume, this pedal is simple to dial in but can produce a surprisingly wide range of tones from mellow overdrive to fuzz mayhem.

Highly Responsive Distortion Circuit

At the heart of the RAT2 is a distortion circuit that dynamically responds to your playing. Roll back your guitar's volume and the distortion cleans up while retaining grit. Dig in and the RAT2 breaks up into singing, saturated overdrive. This interactivity allows expressiveness rarely found in distortion pedals. The RAT2 also enhances a tube amp's natural overdrive without muddying the tone.

Versatile Tone-Shaping Controls

Don't be fooled by the RAT2's three-knob simplicity—this pedal delivers a wide range of tones. The Distortion control determines the gain amount and distortion character. At lower settings, the RAT2 produces warm, tubelike overdrive. Increase the distortion and the tone develops into thick, fuzzy distortion. The Filter control adjusts high-frequency content. Roll it down for a darker, bassier tone or up for more treble. The Volume control lets you match the RAT2's output to your amp's input gain for maximum distortion without excess noise.

Roadworthy and Gig-Ready

With its solid metal enclosure and footswitch in a limited-edition white finish, the RAT2 is built for the road. The iconic graphics glow in the dark so you can easily find controls on dim stages. Powered by a 9V battery or optional supply, the RAT2's low current draw provides months of battery life. A no-tools battery door enables quick changes between sets. For over 40 years, the ProCo RAT2 has been the go-to distortion pedal for guitarists seeking flexible, tube-like overdrive.
