Is the Pro Co RAT good at cutting through live mix?

The Rat2 definitely seems like it would take abuse (or give it for that matter) better than the Black Secret, and it's definitely easier to aim a foot at. I own both, love both, but haven't yet set them up side-by-side for a shootout.

Enjoy your Rat2.

The black secret has more bottom end/ lower mids at all settings so it sounds a little thicker. That means that with the gain maxed it's a little more blown out sounding, but at lower settings it's pretty damn cool.

If I was the only guitarist in the band I'd consider this a little more, but since there is two guitarists I'm not fussed about too many lower mids/bottom end at the moment.

Sounds sensible. Also it'd totally depends on the rest of your setup as to which one works better anyway. I prefer the Rat to the Black secret because it's a better shape to stomp on.

Yeah I have my pitch box sideways on my board so I am less likely to stomp on the controls.

Favourite song where a RAT was used?

 

I don't know which songs specifically, but I know that David Gilmour used one extensively and a RAT was also all over early foo fighters albums. Jeff Beck has been known to use them also, Coldplay, there's so many bands out there using one now.
