ProCo Turbo Rat - 1992 Electric Guitar Overdrive Distortion Pedal

ProCo Turbo Rat - 1992 Electric Guitar Overdrive Distortion Pedal
 

The ProCo Turbo Rat, released in 1988 and popular throughout the early '90s, is known for delivering a heavier, more intense distortion compared to the classic Rat models. This pedal doubles the output of the original ProCo Rat with an impressive 2.8V, providing a more pronounced and aggressive sound ideal for cutting through dense mixes, especially in heavier music genres like metal, as well as post-punk and indie rock.

A defining feature of the Turbo Rat is its distinct high-cut filter, which allows precise control over brightness, helping maintain clarity even at high distortion levels. Additionally, this model features an LED indicator, a true-bypass circuit, and maintains the rugged metal construction ProCo pedals are known for, ensuring durability and reliability onstage.

The Turbo Rat uses silicon clipping diodes rather than the classic Rat’s LM308 op-amp. This change contributes to a harder, more aggressive clipping style, appealing to guitarists seeking a fuller distortion sound without sacrificing dynamics and definition.

This sale is for a Turbo Rat which was built in 1992.
