Rat Distortion is a well-known manufacturer of guitar effects pedals that specializes in creating overdrive and distortion solutions for a diverse range of players. Established in 1978, the company's first product, the 'Bud Box,' was hand-built and laid the groundwork for mass production with the introduction of the Rat pedal in 1979. Over the past four decades, Rat Distortion has evolved its offerings to include multiple iterations of its signature pedals. Models like the RAT 2, Turbo RAT, and Deucetone RAT have become staples in guitar rigs worldwide. The company continues to innovate, recently launching the Lil’ RAT pedal, which retains the iconic RAT sound in a more compact form.
