In 1978, the most versatile and influential distortion pedal was invented in Kalamazoo, Michigan. After playing, repairing and modifying every distortion pedal on the market, Scott Burnham and Steve Kiraly decided to develop a pedal that had never been seen before. They wanted something that wasn't in the product lines of MXR, DOD and even BOSS, which were the mainstream at the time, so they set out to build a pedal that could go from overdrive to distortion to fuzz. By 1979, Scott Burnham had completed the circuit in his basement workshop surrounded by rats, and the rest is history.

The PackRat is the ultimate tribute to over 40 years of the evolution of the RAT and its impact on the sound of the guitar. Artists across all genres have shaped their sound using the iconic tones found inside this unassuming black box, including Nirvana, John Scofield, Pink Floyd, Metallica, REM, The Eagles, Jeff Beck, Radiohead and many more.

PackRat is based on the multi-mode pedal series such as Muffuletta and Bonsai, and uses the same unique digital runway system to control the routing of 261 components via 40 individual switches. . Select from nine modes based on legendary and rare machines, and the analog circuit components are perfectly reproduced, even down to the aging (component drift). If you were to buy these nine hard-to-find pedals on the used market today, you would be looking at around $4,000.

With all that installed on one PACKRAT, isn't that a pretty reasonable price?
