I have tons of other drive pedals but this one is so versatile I’ll probably always keep one.

I think the ProCo is one of the GREAT industrial designs, it’s business-like and indestructible. My DIY clone on the other hand, is decidedly un-industrial.

Re: Forgot about that RAT magic
Had a RAT Deucetone for awhile...just couldn't get on with it tbh and ended up selling it. It was just a little too fuzzy pour moi. Lot's of great tones have come from it though!

The Harmon LM308 is a newer close to perfect recreation, as I understand it.

Re: Forgot about that RAT magic
I had a small box RAT with the LM308. It was a great pedal for what it did. Ended up selling it because it didn’t play well with my amp at the time. Wish I still had it now. Most of my dirt comes from my amp, but I have a Joyo Ultimate Drive when I need a little more oomph.

I give them credit if anything.....

Used a Mooer Black Secret. Mixed reviews...all in all a solid pedal. Decent enough Rat substitute, especially at the price.The 18v mode is evil awesome. Wasn’t a fan of the bottom end.
I actually ended up owning-preferring my Proco Solo to any of them. Does everything a Rat does and more!
I was running both RATS into a JCM 800 last night . -pretty brilliant...

Seem to remember it was heavy. Use to have pics. but they're long gone. Went into a JCM800. Don't really remember what is sounded like now after all these years.
