PROCO RAT II
Re-visited
 |
| $70.00 USD |
In the last year the Rat has become if nothing else back in fashion. New players are discovering it for the first time and older players are buying a second one only to wonder why they dumped their old one. Many players in the middle realize when they came up they had the vibe it was OK in its day and the lastest stuff was much cooler so they never ever even tried one. This week JHS released their Rat with a full 9 of the best takes ever taken on a Rat with over 200 parts in the casin to pull this off. Thet indeed did. The JHS Rat Pack is killer. The Ratt II has for years been criticized for not being as good as the first. Bullsh@t! Thousands and thousands have been sold.
You just do not get that many buyers with a sh@t pedal.
Add to that if it were true there would be a glut of used ones at giveaway prices. There isn't. Guys that buy one keep it. Sure they buy other OD's, I buy lots. BUT my Ratt II stays, it ain't goin' anywhere.
I mostly use my Rat II with the Mattoverse Bad Passenger MK II Fuzz. You can hear in the video in the rhythm track how Ratty (pun intended) and near out of control it is. Now imagine it stacked on the Rat II. The Rat keeps it tight but your lows and mids still have that crazy spit and sputter. The overall sound is still hitting like a clenched fist but the vibe is like things it is hitting are breaking to pieces around it. Dead Cool !!!

Got my Rat 2 yesterday - very nice and gritty sound! I also have the WFRI, Ratsbane, and Black Secret pedals. Might have to get the JHS too.
ReplyDeleteI really think the JHS is a killer pedal. All the sounds are good so you can easily use in places where for example the Boss SD-1 would fit, yet on the same pedal gives you some killer Metal sounds.
