I have a warm place in my heart for Pro Co. I had and “OG” back in the day and the Rat was my only pedal at that time, going into a clean amp. It was a set it and forget it pedal and everything from there was happening at the Volume on the guitar. My beloved RAT was stolen at a gig and I was devastated. I wrote a letter (remember those?) to PRO CO. Telling them my story and how much I LOVED my RAT. Well, they sent me a brand new RAT and two Pro Co. cables so I could get out there and gig again. To this day, I am deeply grateful to Pro Co. for their kindness and generosity to a working musician. Oh, and I still have the pedal.

I enjoyed learning about the person who designed the Turbo RAT. I still have my TR which I bought new in 1989. It has been through many bands, countless practices and gigs. I've run through 3 footswitches on it. When I would send it in to ProCo for repair, they would send it back with a bunch of candies packed in the box, which I thought was just super cool and unique. I wouldn't trade this pedal for the world, it's the only overdrive that works with my 80's JCM800 2203 to create the exact sound I want. Thanks Grape and ProCo!

@PaulHikes2 2 года назад

I'm not sure he fully realizes what his efforts did for the rock music scene. I'm sure Steve Kiraly RIP would have been happy to participate. Anyway, It was great to meet you and Nick and dust off some of the old neural pathways. Very nice all of your kind words but, funny I really don't feel much like a super hero, thanks all the same. All the best, Your friend Grape :^) PS feel free to send me one of your RP pedals and i'll figure out a way for you to make it for under $20 Hahahahahaha

I'm def getting this one, too. I highly recommend the crayon and colour box v2. They open up a whole new world of dynamics, from a subtle always on attack boost and eq to the splatiest fuzz that zeroes out on heavy attack and big open chords then swells back in. I've paired it with rats, spaceman fuzzes, eqd palisades(ts +mods), muffs, compressors, etc...It just brings new life to what you got. There's nothing like them imho. .

As a synth guy watching these videos it's wild to me that guitarists and synthesists expect low-pass filter knobs to operate in exactly opposite ways. On a synth, the more I turn the LPF knob clockwise, the more open the filter gets, and the more upper harmonics come through--it gets brighter. So they put a perfectly normal LPF knob on a pedal, and all the guitarists want it to operate in exactly the OPPOSITE way? Wow.

Thought I wouldn’t watch this, as the RAT doesn’t interest me - I thought. But I am JHS addicted. I had to see the episode. I don’t regret it. It’s funny, informative, inspiring as almost every JHS show. Thank you guys for doing this. 🙏👏👍😁

Before watching video: I don't care about RAT pedals. After watching video: I must have this.

@viciousdope66 2 года назад

Dude, the Rat is the greatest (classic) distortion pedal (in my opinion). If you’ve never had one, you need to go get this, ASAP. I love these. Jeff Beck, Nirvana have used this pedal, even Korn. It’s pretty versatile.

@davethepius 2 года назад

Other than 2 other bass players I did shows with, I'd NEVER seen anyone use a Rat for years. I pit it on my bass board around 2000 because I didn't care for the Big Muffs at the time.

I played one at a pawn shop in the 90’s didnt like it then. Don’t care for it now. Distortion is an amps job

Glad you found them!! even if it took 30yrs, it’s really been my fav sound for leads since I found out about them.

@nicbrownable 2 года назад

@@Ottophil More fool you, because the Rat is an excellent and expressive boost when you wind it back. People focus on the dirt to fuzz end of its capabilities, but it is really 3 pedals in one.

Nick actually nailed Nick Mason’s vibe pretty well too. Too many people overplay when emulating Floyd. It’s about the space between the notes as much as it is the notes you play.

Hi Josh, I picked up the PackRat today 26/6/24 after noodling for 20mins at my local guitar store. I’m very impressed… Just wanted to say a quick thankyou for the work you and your team do. You have a passion which is unmatched in the industry and it shows through in both the pedals you have created and the clips in which you demonstrate them. Well done, I appreciate you. 🫡

@lenbones7940 2 года назад

The rat is my second go to sound and i prefer the dirty but also use the vintage and turbo depending on amp version and it was cool to here about the difference in designs and totally makes sense for the way i use them... keep up the good work... I'll always let it be known that yall then the guys of that pedal show are the pillars of RU-vid effects community... hearing of your beginnings is what made me buy a soldiering iron and start my journey into guitar effects and circuit design and moding... so keep up the amazing work your an inspiration to us all :)

@Nomad_za 2 года назад

I honestly don't know how anyone can give you grief about pedals when you are an expert at making pedals, your word is as good as gold. I know Mick Thomson from Slipknot uses a RAT, I wonder if he will ever pick up your PackRat. I would also love to get hold of one because you have such a wide choice of distortions in one pedal. What an awesom job!! Thank you for the vdeo!
