Gear Description & Specs


The JHS Packrat is a multi-mode distortion pedal that recreates several famous RAT-style circuits in a single enclosure. Each mode represents a different historical version of the classic distortion design, allowing players to explore subtle variations in clipping, compression, and tonal response. The Packrat can produce everything from gritty overdrive to aggressive distortion while maintaining the distinctive RAT-style character. Its versatility makes it an appealing option for guitarists who appreciate the evolution of classic distortion circuits. With multiple voicings available, it effectively places decades of RAT-style tones in one pedal.
