1983 Pro Co Rat Distortion - Vintage "Big Box" (Clean Condition)
Description:
Up for sale is the legendary 1983 Pro Co Rat "Big Box". This is the classic, large-enclosure version that defined the sound of 80s rock and underground music.
This particular unit is in remarkably clean condition for being over 40 years old. It hasn't been abused or neglected; instead, it shows just the right amount of vintage character while remaining "clean" and well-maintained.
Why the '83 Big Box?
The 1983 units are highly sought after by collectors and tone-chasers for their specific circuit layout and the iconic LM308N chip. It offers a fuzz-like thickness when cranked and a gritty, articulate overdrive at lower settings—the "Holy Grail" of Rat tones.
Condition & Details:
• Physical: Very clean exterior with minimal paint wear. No heavy rust or unsightly dings. (Please see photos for the exact cosmetic state).
• Functional: Works perfectly. No scratchy pots or engagement issues.
• Authenticity: Features the original LM308N chip.
If you've been looking for a "player’s grade" vintage Rat that is clean enough to be a centerpiece on your board, this is the one.
