The RAT distortion pedal is considered one of the greatest distortion pedals of all time. It is part of the “holy trinity” of dirt pedals that many rock guitar players have used. Unlike the smooth Tube Screamer or heavy Big Muff, the RAT has a rough and abrasive character. It lacks refinement but makes up for it with lots of character, adding a gritty texture to your guitar tone.

A surface mount option for the JFET output buffer was added.

The controls of the RAT pedal are self-explanatory, but specific details about the controls are not provided in the summary.
