The Ratmobile RAT2 Distortion is a novelty take on a familiar circuit: Vinyl Ventures Co. took the features, tone and specs of the legendary ProCo RAT2 and housed them in the chassis of a 1:24 scale Batmobile. It is a distortion pedal with overdrive, level and tone controls, so it covers the same ground as the RAT2 it is modeled on, from light grit to full distortion.1
What it does
The pedal follows the RAT2 formula: an overdrive control sets the amount of drive, a tone control shapes the high end, and a level control sets output volume. Guitar World described it as taking "the features, tone and specs of the legendary ProCo RAT2, and houses them in the chassis of a 1:24 scale Batmobile."1
