The other day I saw a tweet mentioning @guitarnoize demo’ing long time EffectsBay.com friend @cubisteffects ProCo RAT modification called the Four Headed RAT. Basically, it’s a modification that provides additional voicings (two overdrive and two distortions for four overall voicing options). Along with the voicings, he replaces capacitors, ICs, and DC Jack. Christian at Cubist Effects also offers a ‘noise’ mod as well.. which gives you additional noise/feedback, etc.
Basically, you send him a ProCo Rat, you pay for the modification, and get back the four headed RAT. Check out his pricing here.
Below is a great video by guitarnoize which goes into great detail of what this pedal can do. Very cool.
If you’re interested in the ProCo Rat2 Distortion pedal, you can pick one up for $94.99 at Musician’s Friend.

I’ve got a similar Paul Trombetto-modded Rat (Not to take anything away from this guy) — The ‘noise’ mode is a feedback loop (the output of the pedal is fed back into the input) which (on my version) has a momentary switch on the side of the pedal. Great for weird endings and such…. Either one makes for a much more useful swiss-army Rat!
