The Pro Co RAT Sterling Vermin is the latest hand-soldered variant of one of the most iconic distortion pedals of all time. Using premium components such as the LM741 Op-Amp chip its easy to dial in classic Rat tones. However the presence of selectable clipping diodes unlocks far more tonal versatility; the BAT41 option is much smoother and more balanced in its response to your playing. This allows the Sterling Vermin to deliver everything from articulate touch-sensitive drive through to fuzzed out aggressive distortion. The tonal dynamism this pedal offers separates it from its peers. The premium circuitry is housed in a stainless steel enclosure ensuring long-lasting durability. The CTS pots and oversized knobs were designed specifically to make dialling in tones feel responsive with a satisfying amount of tension. This means the pedal feels as luxurious as it sounds whilst the laser-annealed graphics means it stands up cosmetically as well. Its obvious every effort has been made to make sure this pedal feels and sounds like the premium version of the classic RAT you expect!

Distortion Pedals

Distortion pedals use stronger or more deliberate clipping than a typical overdrive, adding harmonics, compression and sustain. Some are voiced for amp-like crunch, others for high-gain rhythm or a deliberately abrasive texture. Gain, tone, presence, resonance and output controls determine how the pedal interacts with the amplifier and pickups; a blend or noise gate can preserve clarity in heavier settings. Placement changes the result, so check whether the design is intended to push an amp, run into a clean platform or feed a direct cabinet simulation.
