Details

Description

This fuzzy rat is loaded with edgy distortion.

The TurboRAT expands the versatility and sustain of the unique rat tone, and its maximum output of 2.8V is more than double that of the Turbo's predecessors. Features a nearly indestructible steel housing with "no tools" battery compartment. Built for trouble-free reliability on the road. An LED indicates on/off status, and luminescent control graphics enhance visibility. Powered by 9V battery, or a special jack accommodates the RPS-1 power supply (sold separately).

Great version of a great pedal

Rich fuzz with the capacity for some aggressive crunch. Classic for a reason.

great distortion

I used it on our song "Whirlpool Eye Turbo Guy". I have all knobs at 10. I don't use this pedal too often but Pat (our rhythm guitarist) uses it and the normal ProCo Rat on many of our songs. works great with WMD Bit Crusher, and that is how I used it. Will recommend.
