{"product_id":"proco-sound-ydrat","title":"ProCo Sound YDRAT You Dirty RAT Germanium Distortion Pedal","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe You Dirty RAT is built for guitarists who want the legendary RAT cutting tone with the warmth and sag of vintage germanium fuzz, a combination that places it squarely between traditional distortion and classic fuzz pedals. It's the go-to choice for players chasing '60s garage, early punk, or any genre where raw character matters more than clinical precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the circuit level, germanium clipping diodes are the defining departure from other RAT variants. These components are notoriously sought after for their soft-clipping character, and they account for both the warmer harmonic content and the additional 3 dB of compression the You Dirty RAT delivers over the original. That extra compression translates directly into increased sustain, valuable for lead work and rhythm tones alike. The analog signal path keeps the signal entirely unprocessed by digital conversion at any stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RAT Filter control gives engineers and performers precise spectral shaping without reaching for an EQ pedal: roll it right to tame harsh high-end on bright rigs, or dial it back to let the instrument's natural frequency content cut through dense mixes. True bypass switching ensures the pedal introduces zero coloration or noise when disengaged — critical for players running long signal chains or clean boards. A military-spec glass-epoxy circuit board and steel enclosure are built for consistent performance on touring rigs and club stages over years of use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RapcoHorizon Int RHC Holding","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52446707286200,"sku":"67647","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0871\/7382\/4696\/files\/67647_ProCo-Sound-YDRAT-You-Dirty-RAT-Germanium-Distortion-Pedal_ALT02sqr.jpg?v=1785349866","url":"https:\/\/soundpro.com\/products\/proco-sound-ydrat","provider":"SoundPro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
