Douglass McComb

In an article on Premier Guitar, Doug McCombs of Tortoise discusses using the Pro Co RAT distortion pedal.

"I was amazed when I picked up this instrument that I’d never seen before, and when I plugged it in I heard a lot of weird potential in it. At the time I was getting into a lot of different twang-y sounds: surf music, Ennio Morricone soundtracks, and other guitar-centric music. I’d already been exploring a more melodic side of the bass, and then I discovered this instrument that would allow me to get even more into that."
