Vintage Reissue Rat

1991 - 2005

 

As the vintage instruments market surged, demand grew for a reissue of the “large box” RAT pedal. The Vintage RAT can easily be identified from an original in two ways. First, the Pro Co logo does not contain the “Sound Inc.” text written down its right side. The reissue also features an easy access battery compartment on the pedal’s bottom.

 

Features:
Big box enclosure like originals
White marker dots around controls
No "Sound Inc" vertically along logo
Models before 2003 use LM308 IC
2003-Present use OP07DP IC
Battery door on bottom
turbo rat enclosure turbo rat guts
Bypass:
turbo rat enclosure
Top is a reissue with the battery door. Bottom is original big box without
