We decided to make a RAT clone to rival the original “Pro Co RAT” and the best way to do this is to use the original Op Amp that gives the RAT its unique sound, the LM308. As we have some original LM308 ICs from the 70’s in our stocks we figured we could do it and do it well. There is a small difference in the fact that the original Pro Co RAT used the LM308N (8 Pin Plastic package) and we had the LM308H (8 Pin Metal can). The 2 chips are identical in how they work and sound but they look different, we decided to celebrate this difference in our design and so the “RAT in a Can” was born.
Unlike other modern clones that use “similar” Op Amps that can often sound a bit muddy and bass heavy, the RAT in a Can will give you gut-wrenching harsh fuzz and an astronomically high gain, this pedal is sure to make your guitar scream like a pack of angry rats.
We hope you have as much fun building and using the RAT in a Can as we did designing and naming it.
