Active ingredient – <\/span><\/b>Classic tones that transition between overdrive and fuzz.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Recommended for – <\/span><\/b>Those seeking distorted tones with plenty of definition, sustain, and personality.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The Year of The Rat is a faithful reproduction of the absolute classic released by ProCo in 1985. It is a version of the Rat known as Whiteface. It is the most desired version of the pedal among guitarists and features the legendary LM308 chip, manufactured (and already discontinued) by Motorola. In the signal path, some Whiteface units had tantalum capacitors instead of electrolytic capacitors, offering longer operation and a more balanced response in the highs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like its original counterpart, the Year of the Rat offers a wide range of tones: its gain control ranges from a light crunch, through classic overdrive tones, distortion, to a Big Muff-esque fuzz, with the difference of a mid-voicing to stand out in the mix. The Filter control works opposite to the traditional tone control, cutting highs, and the more gain is added, the more necessary it becomes to close the control to regain clarity and note definition.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the Year of the Rat, Collateral FX offers a new pedal with reliable operation, top-quality components (including the extremely rare Motorola LM308), without neglecting the sound that immortalized the Rat in the feet of David Gilmour, Jeff Beck, John Scoffield, Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl, Graham Coxon, and so many others.<\/span><\/p>\n
