Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

RAT2 brings ProCo’s hard-clipping distortion circuit to a red-finished pedal with a direct three-control layout. Distortion sets the amount and character of drive, while Filter changes the top end from darker to more biting. Volume lets you set the outgoing level. Backing off a guitar’s volume moves the response toward textured grit; playing harder drives it into sustain and saturation. It suits players who want quick adjustments without a crowded control panel.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Setting drive, high-end filtering, and output level quickly during rehearsal or a set.
  • Using one distortion pedal for lower-gain grit through fuzz-like saturation.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players who need an included power supply; 9V DC power is sold separately.
