{"product_id":"855228","title":"Pro-co VINTAGE RAT Large Case Filter Control '82","description":"The \"The RAT,\" which debuted in the late 1970s and continues to be a popular and well-received model, is now available in a large case version from 1981 onwards, where the \"TONE\" control was changed to a \"FILTER\" control. Based on the dating, we believe it was shipped around 1982. The casing shows some rust and signs of use, giving it a distinctive and atmospheric condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The op-amp IC is the LM308N, the basic specification for the RAT, and is made by National Semiconductor, a company that was characteristic of this era. The buffer circuit FET is also a National Semiconductor 2N5458. The RAT has a wide range of tones, from piercing crunch tones to powerful, fuzz-flavored distortion. Compared to the small box version, it has a certain boxy feel and a smoother drive texture. This rare large case version is definitely worth trying.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Accessories: None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Heartman Vintage Guitars is a specialty store for vintage guitars and basses operated by Ikebe Musical Instruments.","brand":"Pro-co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43133840654449,"sku":"855228","price":1293.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/VINTAGE_RAT_Large_Case_Filter_Control__82_01.jpg?v=1775889844","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/products\/855228","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
