Mooer Black Secret Vintage Turbo Distortion
Mooer · pedal
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.
