This is THE RAT. A nasty, scratchy, bitey, chew-through-your-wall and poop-in-your-pantry, no-apologies RAT. If you're looking for polite overdrive or boutique smoothness, keep scrolling. This beast snarls with vintage fury and doesn't care what your pedalboard looks like.

Built in the USA in 1989 and verified to contain the legendary LM308N op-amp, this Small Box Blackface RAT delivers raw distortion with razor-sharp edge and rich harmonic sustain. It's been kept all original—no mods, no tone taming—just pure, unfiltered grit. Whether you're stacking it with fuzz or running it into a clean amp, this pedal bites hard and leaves a mark.
