It’s the distortion pedal I think everyone needs – and it’s on sale right now
It’s no secret that I love the Pro Co RAT. It’s the foundational sound of so much of the music I love, and the foundational circuit of what I think are two of the best boutique distortions out there – the EQD x Sunn O))) Life Pedal and the Black Mass 1312. But I’d always recommend everyone starts off with the affordable, reliable original – and right now, it’s at a great price at Sweetwater.

Amongst all of the big-ticket Black Friday deals with hundreds to be saved on guitars worth thousands, it’s important to remember that the event can be a great chance to grab some more affordable essentials at great prices. And honestly, I would call the Pro Co RAT an essential step in the journey of any guitarist who’s interested in analogue distortion boxes at all.
But while the RAT is perhaps more versatile than people give it credit for, I think it excels best when pushed into a cranked tube amp, with your guitar tuned down to at least C standard. Some of the best guitar tones ever recorded have been the humble RAT into Sunns and Oranges.
Right now, the RAT is discounted by over $30 over at Sweetwater – check out the deal below.
