Feature:
3 knobs & a footswitch, pretty standard, but it's all you'll need.
Quality:
this thing has been beaten to hell and it doesn't seem any worse for wear. it's a friggin tank.
Value:
wish it was like, 10 bucks cheaper, but whatever.
Desirability:
it's a classic & an original and people keep getting new sounds from it in all sorts of musical genres. who the hell doesn't want it?
Sound:
Great great sound, really crunchy and distinct. The amount of distortion can be set so low or so high that it can really be used for anything. I get crunchy overdrive out of this most of the time, but I will crank that knob and get some really heavy distortion that commands attention.
Ease of Use:
3 knobs and a footswitch, you'll figure it out before you even start using it.
Overall:
one of only a few pieces of gear that have become essential to my setup. i could not play a gig without it.

Proco Rat2 Distortion Pedal
Researched and designed to produce a sound that is radically different from any distortion you've ever heard before a sound as mellow as a vintage twin, or as bone-crushingly powerful as a battery of those famous English stacks instantly, at any volume.
