the flame on your les paul moves a ton, I'm usually not a fan of tobacco burst but that guitar is gorgeous.

Favorite distortion pedal of all time, I've owned the Turbo and Rat 2 and even a Mooer Black Secret on a Mini Board I use. It's always my go to distortion/drive sound, stacks well with overdrives and always cuts through a mix.

¡Viva la ProCo RAT!  
I bought one back in the 80s & I still have it - love the versatility & the various shades of crunch you can get out of it.

I use it for doom/sludge but lately I have mostly been using it for edge of breakup blues tones with the gain almost all the way down. It sounds great with neck and middle pickups and a phaser.

LOVE the Filter control...got me those schenker inspired maiden/priest tones thru my JCM800 50 head...and a little 'kill em all' aggressiveness🤘

Hey Marty . Bring out your own talk box. I would buy one.
Cheers .

Love this, Marty. The best demo of this pedal out there. Thank you!

Slight overdrive before the Rat 2 really tightens the flabbiness of full distortion.

Not even kidding, when you started that phaser I *unintentionally* started going "waaah wah wah waaaah" with my mouth. Between that and an actual wah, i don't know what kind of power it has.

You're an amazing guitar player! Thanks for continuing to teach me with every video

[randybobandy]

With the filter all the way down, you almost start to get that Tony Iommi modded rangemaster tone.

I love the sound of the Phase 90 - total 70's.

Merci Marty je suis à la recherche d'une distorsion et la tu m'a convaincu lol et pour finir un grand merci à toi pour tes vidéos j'ai appris la guitare grâce à tes vidéos grosse bise 😉

[jesperao]

James hetfield used it on the kill em all album

[jackpal]

Kurt Cobain also used this in Territorial Pissings

[ChrisMedici]

Loved the tone by combining the Rat and the King of Tone - love these "gear thursday" videos!

[BatmanWangChung]

Thanks for letting the Rat come out and play with his good pal Phase90!

[jcburger]

The Les Paul tone knobs are also filters ;)
