It "solves" some of the issues that prevented me from buying the original RAT, and nails a classic distortion sound from one of the most popular and widely-used effects pedals of all time.

It seemed to get stuck between on and off, either giving me a muffled quiet distortion sound or almost completely cutting my clean signal

I'm not 100% sure if this really replicates the Rat completely, but this is a darn fine little distortion pedal with two modes for pretty cheap

Like the title says, the sound was awesome, exactly what I was looking for

Great vintage mode and fantastic modern mode

I love this thing

The pedal has been reliable, it's well built, and I like the mini pedals (because I can fit more on my board

It has a nice range of sounds

But I was impressed with how useful the Filter control was in dialing in tone - certainly a wider range (and more touchy) than the tone control on a BOSS DS-1, for example

This is despite the fact that the original RAT is a hard rock classic and actually quite affordable.

As I said earlier, the Black Secret is a good value because it is really a clone of two RAT pedals in one.

This pedal is a great value with little no compromises it tone quality.

Doesn't quite nail my Rat, but has the right vibe and fits on my pedalboard.

The price is right and the size it great for my board

but I can say that this pedal sounds great and is loaded with saturating distortion and stays pretty clean as far as unwanted noise

But it's also larger than your traditional compact pedal and was a sound I had mostly covered by other pedals, so I never bought one

addict, the Pro Co RAT was one pedal that never made it into my lineup.

However, for $30.....if you want to see what an 80's Rat sounds like, it definitely captures the essence

Sorry RAT.
