This sharper, more distorted circuit was fashioned by JHS for over a decade and now finds a spot on the last stop in the PackRat journey. JHS Mode ('JHS') - The discontinued JHS 'PackRat' ProCo RAT modification.With the Wave Cannon, smooth overdrive and boundary-pushing fuzz are both in reach for a circuit as versatile as the original RAT itself. Setting either dial past noon makes for pure distorted poetry. The Wave Cannon's circuitry makes a guest appearance on the PackRat as it fuzzes up smoothly and easily with Distortion and Filter controls set at noon. Caroline Wave Cannon - A take on the RAT circuit from Caroline Guitar Company.Not overly fuzzy, GRF gives the RAT circuit some extra push and bright distortion for shredding through solos or slicing through mixes with some sick leads. This mode makes for a more pronounced mix of distortion and volume boost. Landgraff MO'D ('GRF') - A boutique RAT recreation from the late 1990s.Distortion and Filter settings dialed past noon enhance the volume-boosting, raucous voice of this mode.

A more throaty sound that delivers heaps of grit, this tone is blissfully distorted and in your face in the very best way. This mode comes out the gate swinging with higher output volume. LA ('LA') - A Japanese RAT recreation circuit from the 1980s.DRTY delivers on its namesake for distorted leads. Pushing Distortion and Filter past noon will only enhance the fuzziness of this particular mode. This mode keys into grungier fuzz tones with lasting sustain and resonance. Dirty V7 ('DRTY') - A RAT utilizing germanium diodes instead of silicon diodes.Drop this mode in for some subtle fuzziness that can be a swell substitute for a dirtier overdrive. This mode is noticeably more subdued with lower output, so turning the Filter and Distortion dials before noon will summon some soothing undercurrents of fuzz. BRAT V6 ('BRAT') - An officially modified RAT released in the 1990s.A sharper RAT, you'll get distorted tones with more sizzle with the Filter set past noon. This mode will ramp up the distortion further for a brighter tone with higher output. Turbo V5 ('TRF') - The first RAT to introduce LEDs to the clipping section.The Filter control can be rolled back before noon to let thicker bursts of distortion rip. As the Filter control is inverted in this mode, moving Filter past noon will subdue the distortion for lower undercurrents of buzz. This mode revs up the power from OG with more grit. White Face V3 ('WHT') - The first Small Box RAT fashioned with an inverted Filter control and a white block letter logo.On Distortion positions before noon, the fuzziness cleans up nicely for some lush overdrive. On Filter positions past noon, the distortion grows fuller. With the Distortion and Filter knobs at noon, OG gets smoothly overdriven.

This mode will be an excellent starting point to make yourself at home.

The OG V1 ('OG') - The original Version 1 Big Box RAT from 1979.

With nine RATs to play with, let's let 'em loose. The PackRat carries both popular and obscure RAT circuit tones to deliver on an experience that is both familiar and exciting for RAT fans across the board. Utilizing a specialized digital runway system to tap into nine unique analog circuits, the PackRat replicates nine RAT tones from across the decades. The minds at JHS came together in spirit of their Muffuletta and Bonsai 'Multi-Mode' pedals to celebrate the legacy of the little, black-boxed superstar. Today, the tenacious little rodent gets its time to shine. From punk and metal, progressive and alternative, many players hold a special place for the RAT. Legendary artists have used RATs to craft iconic tones from the grungy smashes of Kurt Cobain to the warm sustain of David Gilmour. The first RAT was unveiled in 1979 and since then, distortion has never been the same. Originally conceived and crafted as a project between Kalamazoo pedal experts Scott Burnham and Steve Kiraly, the RAT came from a desire to introduce a new distortion pedal to the masses. This classic distortion rears its little head again, and wouldn't you know it, this time it's a family reunion. Now, you're probably already familiar with this famous buzzing black box, but certainly never in this form. If you've ever found yourself deep diving into the archives of legendary rock music, you might see a certain little critter make an appearance on boards across the decades.
