The RAT 2 stands out with its distinctive tone structure, setting a benchmark for other effects devices. Its versatility is its hallmark; as a primary distortion, it shines with arena rock rhythms and piercing leads. If your powerful amp has excessive headroom for a gig, the RAT 2 perfectly captures that ideal point where a tube amp transitions from sparkling clean to warm overdrive. If you're already satisfied with your amp's distortion, the RAT 2 can serve as a boost for solos, providing that necessary extra punch.

Equipped with the iconic RAT Filter control, the RAT 2 allows you to roll off harsh high-end frequencies by turning it to the right. Struggling to stand out in the mix? Lower the Filter to let your instrument's natural brightness cut through. The Distortion and Volume controls help you set just the right amount of gain while maintaining a consistent level with your clean tone. The legendary RAT tone is unmistakable when the pedal is engaged, and thanks to true-bypass switching, your sound remains uncolored when the pedal is disengaged.
