{"product_id":"proco-sound-fatrat","title":"ProCo Sound FATRAT FAT RAT Distortion Pedal With Clipping Options","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ProCo Sound FATRAT is built for guitarists and bassists who need more tonal range than a standard RAT provides. The dual clipping architecture — switchable between silicon and MOSFET\/germanium — gives players access to the original's aggressive character alongside a smoother, more compressed voicing that sits more naturally in a dense live or studio mix. The socketed op-amp design means chip swapping is a tool-free modification, making it a practical platform for engineers who want to experiment with LM308 or other compatible chips without committing to a solder job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fat Switch addresses a longstanding limitation of RAT-style pedals by adding a simultaneous bass boost and high-frequency cut, opening the circuit up for bass guitar applications, drop-tuned instruments, and lower-gain overdrive use where thinner distortion pedals fall short. Large CTS potentiometers across the Distortion, Filter, and Volume controls deliver consistent, predictable sweeps across the full range — critical when dialing in sounds quickly during soundcheck or session work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExtended 9V to 18V operation gives players real headroom flexibility. Running at 18V reduces signal compression and sag compared to lower-voltage RAT variants, a meaningful difference in high-gain or clean-headroom applications. This makes the FATRAT a strong choice for players who route directly into a console or recording interface as well as those running traditional amp rigs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RapcoHorizon Int RHC Holding","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52446968119480,"sku":"79523","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0871\/7382\/4696\/files\/79523_RAPHOR-FATRAT_ALT01.jpg?v=1783978587","url":"https:\/\/soundpro.com\/products\/proco-sound-fatrat","provider":"SoundPro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
