JHS Pack Rat: Nine Different Flavors of Rat

The ProCo RAT is one of the most iconic distortion pedals of all time, and has been used on countless records by guitarists like Dave Grohl, Frank Black, David Gilmour, Stephen Malkmus, and more. Its classic hard-clipping distortion and unique filter tone control lead to a wide variety of sounds with a very distinctive midrange cut and edge. At high distortion settings, you get a nice fuzz tone, while you can get a solid overdrive sound with it turned down. The Pack Rat takes the idea from JHS’ popular Bonsai and Muffuletta and gives you access to 9 distinct RAT-based circuits in one compact package.

Nine Distinct RAT Circuits in One Pedal

The Pack Rat features nine different RAT circuits, each providing a unique flavor of this classic distortion:

  • OG Rat (1979): Original big box RAT tone
  • White Face Rat (1984): First mass-produced RAT, similar to OG but with a different Filter taper
  • Turbo Rat (1989): Uses LED clipping for more dynamic control and better low-mid gain
  • Brat (1997): Adds input buffer and soft clipping (while keeping hard clipping), with cap value changes
  • You Dirty Rat (2004): Germanium clipping diodes and cap changes, resulting in the most saturated RAT
  • Ibanez LA Metal (1986): Modded RAT that clips the op amp rails instead of hard clipping
  • Landgraff Mo'd (2005): Based on Landgraff MO-D Distortion for a boutique RAT tone
  • Caroline Guitar Co Wave Cannon V1 (2010): Heavily modded RAT style tone
  • JHS Mod: JHS' classic RAT mods, making it louder, bigger sounding, and adding more range

Versatile Tone Control

When you’re switching modes in this pedal, you aren’t switching between slight modifications but are actually toggling between 9 different discrete RAT-type circuits. Ranging from the original big box RAT to a modern JHS modded RAT, no other pedal on the market today covers as much RAT range as the Pack Rat. Whether you need a classic fuzzy grit or a modern overdrive, the Pack Rat delivers.
