The JHS PackRat is the ultimate love letter to the ProCo RAT, the circuit that essentially defined the sound of underground rock, punk, and metal for over four decades. Utilizing the same "digital runway" system found in the Bonsai and Muffuletta, JHS has managed to cram nine legendary, analog iterations of the rodent into a single standard-sized enclosure. This isn’t a digital emulation; when you turn the mode dial, the pedal mechanically re-wires its internal circuitry to match the exact resistors, capacitors, and clipping diodes of the version you’ve selected.

The nine available modes provide a comprehensive history of the circuit, ranging from the original "OG" V1 with its characteristic mid-range growl to the high-headroom Turbo (LED clipping) and the ultra-compressed, germanium-fueled Dirty RAT. JHS even included rare boutique variations like the Landgraff MO'D and the Caroline Wave Cannon, alongside their own popular "PackRat" mod. This makes the pedal an incredible studio tool, allowing you to audition every major flavor of RAT distortion—from light, touch-sensitive overdrive to thick, gated fuzz—without having to swap a single cable.

Despite the complex engineering under the hood, the PackRat remains refreshingly simple to use with its classic Volume, Distortion, and Filter layout. It’s a masterclass in versatility that saves you the thousands of dollars (and the massive board space) it would take to collect the vintage originals. Whether you're chasing the stadium-filling roar of the 80s or the gritty DIY spirit of 90s grunge, the PackRat is the only distortion pedal you’ll ever realistically need. This pedal is in good condition.
