PackRat - 9-Mode Rat Distortion
The JHS Pedals PackRat is a nine-mode distortion powerhouse that pays homage to the legendary Proco RAT, one of the most influential and versatile distortion pedals ever created. Designed by guitar effects aficionados Josh Scott and Philippe Herndon, the PackRat meticulously recreates nine iconic RAT variants, each with its own distinct character and personality. Dive into the original 1979 "OG" mode, capturing the raw, gritty tone of the very first RAT pedals. Explore the sought-after "White Face" V3 from the mid-80s, renowned for its smooth, saturated distortion. Then unleash the touch-sensitive "Turbo" V5, which introduced LED clipping for a more dynamic, responsive feel. Uncover rare gems like the "BRAT" V6 with its unique soft-clipping circuit, or the "Dirty" V7 and its searing germanium diode distortion. Discover the quirky "LA" mode, based on Ibanez's modified RAT design, and the boutique-inspired "Landgraff MO'D" and "Caroline" modes, each offering their own spin on the RAT's iconic sound. Rounding out the PackRat's arsenal is the "JHS Mode," a custom-tailored distortion circuit that blends the RAT's core character with Josh Scott's own personal touches. Whether you're chasing vintage tones or seeking modern sonic exploration, the PackRat has you covered, putting the essence of 40+ years of RAT evolution at your fingertips.
