Proco Turbo RAT

Pro Co Turbo RAT: More Than Twice the Output of a Standard RAT

The Pro Co Turbo RAT is the definitive answer for guitarists who adore the aggressive hard-clipping distortion of the RAT pedal but crave significantly more output to drive the front end of their amplifier. This dirt pedal features a cleverly modified RAT circuit, eschewing the traditional silicon clipping diodes for vibrant red LEDs. The result is the signature RAT-style grind, now boiling with rage, and delivering more than twice the output volume of its predecessor. This makes the Turbo RAT the ultimate booster for pushing an already-distorted British head into high-octane metal territory or sending an on-the-brink American-style combo into lush, sweet overdrive. Maintaining the same intuitive 3-knob layout as its vintage counterparts, along with its near-bulletproof metal enclosure, the Turbo RAT has secured its place as a longstanding staple on the pedalboards of post-punk and noise-rock guitarists for over three decades.
