You'll have to open up the pedal and check the pot dates. You can't date a rat by its serial number. This was the first year ProCo reversed their 'Whiteface' logo to be white on black.

PROCO RAT PEDAL SERIAL NUMBER SERIAL NUMBER
I'm looking at buying a 'Small-Box RAT' sight unseen with serial number rt-063976. I hope that helps! SMurphy28, Jan 8, 2009. The two numbers in the middle are the year the pedal was made. I've got ProCo Vintage Reissue Big Box Rat & want to determine the year of manufacture. I understand this type of hairy fat tone is not everyone’s cup of tea but if it is what you are looking for, chances are a proco RAT 2 will do it for you. I have recorded two videos showing the fat tone you can get from a Telecaster and a RAT. In particular, I find it as effective with single coils as it is with humbuckers which is where I find most distortion pedals to be lacking. Gilmourish has an about the RAT and explains why it is a good staple distortion pedal. The volume will not provide a huge boost but a boost nonetheless. The filter is very effective and works differently from most pedals as it cuts highs as you increase it.Ī slight variation can make a big difference.
If you are into lower gain overdrive type of sounds there is a lot of alternatives but for high gain distortion types of sound (and for a reasonable price) it is pretty unique. It can go from a nice overdriven sound at lower gain settings to a fat slightly fuzzy distortion at higher gain settings. Nonetheless, if you have your eyes on a second hand RAT 2, you might want to check the serial number under the pedal. I have not been able to compare mine to a more recent model tonewise so I will not comment first hand on that. According to (who knows a thing or two about effects), the RAT 2 made after serial number 300000 (early 2008) are of inferior quality. I've never replaced the opamps in the duecetone simply because I don't care enough.My model has a below 300000 serial number.
I think the Filter on my Vintage one rolled off a little more of the high end, but that can be attributed to pot and cap tolerance, and possibly capacitor type (if there was a difference), more than opamp type. There was "something" about the Vintage one, but not enough to make me keep it.
I had one of the 90's "Vintage" Rats and currently have the duecetone Rat - I sold the Vintage one after getting the duecetone - and I never really noticed a big difference between the two. you can tell these by the lack of led hole in the middle of the pcb The best (by a very slight margin) was the white face '85 which is pre led/bypass circuit. My favorites have been '85-'88 and the big box 90's "vintage" I wouldn't pass on one without the 308, I've heard the other chip sounds fine and even if it doesn't you'll likely get the pedal cheaper because of this and it's a simple job under $10 sound crap but are better after being ruez'd Daydreamdelay wrote:the new ones have a slant enclosure, thinner knobs, and in my experience.
