RAT 2, Made into Full On Fuzz! Plus a tone secret You must Know!

 PROCO RAT INTO FUZZ!!! Plus Secret Sauce!!!:

   So the RAT 2. The modern version ovpne of the most popular, and widely used Distortion pedals ever! Now it is technically a distortion, but as most drive pedals it can be a near clean boost, as Coldplay used it in the 90's. Or a raw Distortion like Mick Mars from Motely Crue. Then as they say it can even go borderline fuzz. So obviously a versatile pedal on it's own. But what if you pair it with an overdrive before it!

   Pairing drive pedals is nothin new. And so much fun. A noise gate is recommended. Just going to be honest. But we're goin for Fuzz here. Fuzz pedals are loud in between playing. So this is to be expected. Now if you dime your RAT 2, then overdrive that naturally you push that near fuzz tone into full fuzz territory. If you are a guy who can't necessarily go out and buy a piece of gear as soon as you realize you want to. Then this is for you. I didn't have any fuzz. Had Distortion had, overdrive, no fuzz. Sad I know. But fuzz is essentially gain staring. Which is what combining drive pedals is. But wait there is a secret sauce here I have yet to get too!

               ADDING EQ AFTER YOUR DRIVES:

   Yep that's right. The often over looked EQ pedal. This is a tone secret of masters. It is one of those things that seems boring, maybe even unnecessary. But No, it is a tone shaping machine. For example you like a mid point, but you like big muffs, but of course you get lost in the mix. As well as, naturally sounding a little thin, or hollow to your ear. Well, with that EQ after that muff you get your mids back. Same with the RAT 2 L, OD combo. You will be surprised the ranges of OD, DIST, and of course. Fuzz sounds you can get. You give yourself such an edge with the ability to shape any frequency. This is why there are even EQ, Fuzz combo pedals out there.

 Pretty much, I love tone tweaking. I want to stick out sound different. I want people to be caught off guard for every track I make. EQ is how I do that. As well, as many seasoned pros. So if you haven't done this, stop depriving your tone. DO IT!!!
