Similarity
citedBlended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

The Keeley Super Rodent is a high-performance modification of the ProCo RAT distortion pedal by Robert Keeley, enhancing the original RAT circuit with premium components, additional clipping options, and refined controls that extend the RAT's tonal range while preserving its essential aggressive distortion character. The Super Rodent is part of Keeley's long tradition of boutique pedal modifications that established the brand's reputation before their transition to original designs.

The Mooer Black Secret is a dual-mode distortion pedal built as a tribute to the ProCo Rat, packing both the Vintage Rat and Turbo Rat circuits into one compact enclosure. It uses the same LM308 chip as the original Rat circuits, with diode clipping engaged in Turbo mode for higher gain and more aggressive distortion, while Vintage mode delivers the smoother, more classic Rat-style distortion character. Having both classic Rat variants in one pedal lets players switch between the two distinct vintage voicings without needing separate pedals for each.
