koula901 Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Sometime ago, we had a big discussion about the Rat, and all it's permutations. Does anybody remember about when we had this discussion? I'm looking for this thread.

Gitfiddler Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 A bunch of us scored the White Face Rat Reissue pedals when they came out. I love mine. It's nice and ratty sounding...in a good Scofield kind of way. http://www.heritageownersclub.com/forums/topic/22564-pro-co-limited-edition-reissue-85-whiteface-rat/

I scored a White Face Reishue today and am so excited. Should be here around Monday. That, along with my tube screamer, OCD and Timmy, I should be set with enough dirt to start a farm!

Kuz Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 People may laugh and not understand until they get one.... but my White Face Rat Reissue is ALWAYS on my board and used almost every Sunday at Church. It can go from low to moderate to high gain, but still sounds HUGE & crunchy without sounding muddy. It can do hair-band metal (which I would never do) to Robben Ford-Larry Carlton level OD. I LOVE my Rat.

It can go from low to moderate to high gain, but still sounds HUGE & crunchy without sounding muddy. It can do hair-band metal (which I would never do) to Robben Ford-Larry Carlton level OD. I LOVE my Rat. Im the same Kuz. Ive had one since about 1986. Originally used it for higher gain stuff and as a sort of fuzz sometimes. For the last 20yrs Ive used it as a low gain od or set very low gain and stacked with a TS9 set to low gain/boost for a classic rock bluesy rock sound. Ive bought rat clones along the way. Theyre all gone and the 86 rat still remains. I finished work late last night and had a long drive home. Very tired and needed to unwind. Guitar is the great unwinder. I have had some new toys over the last months. Two of them are here. Cheap little Ibanez AS73T and Boss BR800. The long term team members in this are the ProCo Rat and the Fender Concert II. I thought last night when I had done this there was a theme in it. On listening back to it the next day, there isnt. Yep, tan pants. Never made it out of my work clothes. Still had steel cap boots on.

CJTopes Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 I have one of the old ones from 1982ish... I forgot all about it. I should break that out again and see if it fits my needs. Looking for a good distortion. pedal. Any idea if those were true bypass?
