{"product_id":"pro-co-sound-fat-rat-distortion-pedal","title":"Pro Co Sound Fat Rat Distortion Pedal","description":"Designed for electric guitarists, the \u003cb\u003ePro Co Sound Fat Rat\u003c\/b\u003e is a distortion pedal that builds upon the design of the original, well-regarded Rat by adding a switchable mosfet\/germanium clipping circuit. So, with the flick of a switch, you can effect the original rat tone, or get the more scooped, smooth, and amp-like tone of the mosfet\/germanium clipping section. You'll also note the Fat switch, which offers a bass boost and high cut at the same time, tailoring the pedal for lower tunings or bass guitars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \r\n\r\nBesides the two aforementioned switches, the Fat Rat gives you a Distortion knob, a filter knob, an overall volume control, and a bypass\/engage footswitch. A 1\/4\" instrument input and output are offered for your guitar, and the pedal is powered by a separately-available 9V battery through an easy-to-open battery compartment. It can also run off a 9V power adapter or an 18V power adapter, both of which are available separately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nClipping Section\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe switchable mosfet clipping section gives you subtle scoop and smoothing in the upper midrange throughout the entire gain range of the pedal, and makes the pedal sound more amp-like and natural.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nSocketed Opamp\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe pedal comes with a stock chip, the OP07DP. However, changing over to other opamps like the LM308 is a quick and simple mod that you can do solder-free.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nLarge CTS Pots\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThese pots give you a smooth, even sweep throughout the range of the Distortion, Filter, and Volume controls, allowing you easy access to multitudinous sweet spots within this tone machine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nFat Switch\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe Fat switch offers significant bass boost and simultaneous high cut, making the pedal suitable for bass guitar and lower tunings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n9 or 18V Operation\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWith a 18V power supply, you can achieve increased headroom and fidelity, as well as less sagging when compared to older RATs.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn the box*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003ePro Co Sound Fat Rat Distortion Pedal\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePro Co Distortion Pedal\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Proco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810339827927,"sku":"PRFATRAT","price":179.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1031\/5925\/files\/363421.jpg?v=1782329513","url":"https:\/\/kellards.com\/products\/pro-co-sound-fat-rat-distortion-pedal","provider":"KELLARDS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
