The Pro Co You Dirty RAT Distortion Pedal is a brilliant blend and balance between that vintage fuzz sound, and the classic balls to the wall RAT distortion. It is a sound that is sure to excite and inspire.

The Pro Co You Dirty RAT Distortion Pedal is the most classic sounding of all RAT distortion pedals. Think ’60s garage rock. Think early punk. Think about the bands that changed the sound of rock ‘n’ roll. The key to the You Dirty RAT tone is in its germanium clipping diodes. Any pedal aficionado will tell you that nothing compares to the warm tone that these sought after components provide. This pedal is the perfect middle ground between distortion and fuzz, combining the characteristic cutting RAT tone with the warmth of a classic fuzz-tone. The You Dirty RAT also provides 3 dB more compression than the original RAT. This not only provides more “tube amp warmth,” but adds extra sustain.

What We Think

avatar

We’ll be honest — we usually don’t like fuzz pedals. There’s just something about a lot of them that has always sounded a little cheap or one-dimensional to us. So when it came time to try the You Dirty RAT, there was some hesitation. As longtime RAT users and fans, we didn’t want anything fuzz-related “tainting the RAT name.” Turns out… that was a bad take on our part. The You Dirty RAT is really cool. Yes, it brings in that fizzy, sizzly character you expect from a fuzz, but at its core, this is still very much a RAT distortion pedal. You get the familiar meat and authority of a RAT2, blended with a touch of fuzz texture and a slightly more relaxed, classic RAT-style filter response. It feels intentional and musical, not over-the-top or gimmicky. We especially like it in front of a dirty amp, where it really comes alive. Using the filter to contour the tone, balancing the volume just right, and then letting the distortion/fuzz add dimension, depth, and grit makes for some seriously inspiring sounds. It’s not about overwhelming fuzz chaos — it’s about enhancing what’s already there. We’re not ready to declare ourselves fuzz converts… but we are fully on board with the RAT’s take on fuzz.
