Description

A compact pedal that captures the legendary "Rat" distortion tone.

The Black Secret Distortion pedal captures the classic "Rat" tone made famous in the '70s and '80s. The pedal features two modes: Vintage and Turbo. Both modes are very different with vintage delivering a raspy thinner distortion that doesn't over power your tone. The Turbo mode on the other hand really thickens up the tone giving you a beefier modern sound.

Like the other micro pedals in the Mooer family, this pedal will fit on any pedal board with ease. Its full metal casing makes it durable and road ready, and like most great effects pedals it has true bypass.

Specifications

  • 2 Working Modes:Vintage/Turbo
  • Vintage: A warm, smooth, vintage distortion sound
  • Turbo: More than twice the maximum output of the vintage mode, more powerful distortion sound
  • Full metal shell
  • Pedalboard friendly

    My better RAT. Oberdrive and Fuzz in one.

    The smaller and more versatile RAT. Love it. I use it on nine o'clock as an overdrive to push my driven amp and on 2 o'clock as an Fuzz "Lite". Not that brutal as an usual Fuzz, with more bass, nice and warm. Enough Fuzz for me. Enough Fuzz for a Black Key Riff. Enough Fuzz for a David Gilmour Solo. My better RAT.

    Its a RAT

    Okay, I lied. Its also a Turbo RAT. And its less than the price of a RAT. And its a quarter the size of a RAT. No, you dont get the street cred from spending $200 on a hefty hunk of black 80's steel with rust around the inputs. You still get all the distortion you need. Careful with that knob. It doesn't take much. If you want to crank it, you'll want a noise gate. The only reasons I didn't give it 5 stars are because I prefer to be stingy with perfect scores and I don't know about its durability yet.

    the intage rat people baffle me, its such a simple circuit to knock off because the parts are readily available and have never been altered by the original manufacturers... no secret sauce at all, the whole point of the rat was a distortion/fuzz unit that would be more reliable and consistent than a 60s fuzz and better sounding than the early 2 knob diode-to-ground distortions being put out by ross, MXR, DOD etc back then (though those caveman distortions have sound, indeed)

    WORKS AWESOME BOTH FOR GUITAR OR BASS

    Want the sound of the Proco Rat and Turbo Rat in one pedal? Get this thing RIGHT NOW! Cheaper and less space in your pedal board.

    I'm let down, I was hoping you spoke English as your 1st language and you just ahd a really unique turn of phrase. Alas. Anyone can butcher a 2nd language (I make a glorious mess of Spanish), but it takes a real poet to come up with "wife of Ibanez TS9" if English is your 1st language.

    Not bad for a proco rat clone and it is cheap.

    Not bad for a proco rat clone and it is cheap and instead of buying the MiC rat 2 you should buy this because it is equipped with lm308 and MiC rat 2 is only lm301. and this has a switch to choose between vintage rat and turbo rat.

    Good copy

    It is not a perfect copy but it sounds fenomenal. It has the same casio chip as its ProCo counterpart
