Pedals that stack with the ProCo RAT 2

fills a frequency gapFills in a frequency range the other side doesn't cover, instead of piling more onto what's already there. (warm → bright)

Stacking the Screamer's mid-forward boost ahead of the RAT lets its own low-end roll-off tighten the signal before the RAT's Filter control reshapes it.

Pairing the Phase 90 with the RAT is a documented combo — running the phaser after the distortion keeps its sweep defined rather than smeared by the gain.

A RAT 2 doesn't stack cleanly with Delay-Llama in the usual gain sense — the pedal's own analog delay repeats sit after the RAT's bright, cutting distortion instead. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Put the woodverb after the RAT — the cutting distortion stays sharp and the reverb adds a warm, natural decay behind it. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

The Memory Man's lush analog echo trails smoothly behind the RAT's gritty distortion, its warmth softening the pedal's edge. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

A RAT 2 stacked after the Copicat Boost turns its clean British boost into a bright, cutting low-gain push.

The RAT's dark, cutting distortion stacks with the Sovereign's own rich, stage-ready distortion for a sharper, brighter edge on top.

The RAT's dark, cutting distortion stacks with the Excess's own experimental, filtered gain for something stranger than either pedal alone.

The RAT 2's bright, cutting distortion gives the Space's shimmering, studio-grade reverb a driven signal to trail off, not real gain to stack. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

The RAT 2's bright, cutting distortion pushes on top of the Valcoder's vintage tremolo pulse rather than genuinely stacking gain with it.
