PRO CO LIL' RAT
Although it took forever ProCo have made pedalboard friendly version of their infamous Rat. It is a full half inch narrower than a the standard Hammond 1590 B box that most makers use. Not many pedals are still in production since 1977. It came out three months before the Boss DS-1 so it holds first place for OpAmp designed hard clipper Distortion. Rat got a lot of flack over the years for changing their design. It was usually not their fault since the demand for the Rat outlasted the demand for the parts it was made of. I have a part for part clone of the original yet I enjoy my Rat II just as much and easily use it as much.

Well I would have to put it beside my Rat's to see who was King Rat but my first impressions
are certainly positive. It could as the company says be the same pedal. If they are simply using two tiers for the circuit board it would be no problem. A smaller enclosure uses less metal to make making up for having to make and install two boards. The factory demo is impressive!
