The humble Proco Rat – a staple of distortion throughout the 80s, and then later rediscovered by people that couldn’t afford expensive pedals or just liked the sound. By the way, I refuse to acknowledge the Rat as a fuzz pedal. Others may, but not me…

The layout could be smaller, but I like a bit of room on the board, and it’s still only 21 wide.
PROCO RAT WITH MODS – VERO LAYOUT
This modded Rat has switching diodes and an adjustable highpass mod using trimmers. The straight Ruetz-style switch can be a bit much for some people, so the option to dial it in via trimmers and leave it seems like a reasonable idea.
The switching allows for a few diode combinations or just leave off the LEDs for an open setting.
Same again, but without the trimmers.
