The JHS Mode is the discontinued “PackRAT” modification that I did to RATs for over ten years. It takes everything I love about this circuit and elevates it! I bought the version 1 back in 2012 and immediately fell in love. The Wave Canon is Caroline Guitar Company’s stab at making this classic circuit even better. When I started the PackRat, I knew immediately what friend I was going to invite to the party. The MO’D distortion is one of the greatest RAT-style distortions ever made. Swirl paint jobs and point-to-point wiring made Landgraff a father of the nineties boutique era. A tribute to 40 years of the Rat The JHS PackRat pedal offers nine distinct modes of Rat distortion, from the original, to JHSs modern interpretation. The LA Metal is one of the most interesting takes on the circuit from this era. Japanese pedal companies loved the RAT circuit and used it throughout the 1980s disguised as their latest and greatest “original” circuit. What happens when you replace the stock silicon diodes with germanium? It gets even dirtier. The BRAT is the most unique RAT variation ever made by ProCo. In the late nineties, Guitar Center launched an exclusive “budget RAT” with big tone and some unique modifications. The Turbo RAT introduced the world to a different type of distortion by introducing LEDs to the RAT’s clipping section to produce a more powerful distortion sound. This model has the more traditional reverse Filter control instead of Tone. The “White Face” is the first Small Box RAT and is recognizable for its white filled block logo across the top of the pedal. The OG is a perfect recreation of the first production Version 1 Big Box/tone control RATs ever made.
