1986 PROCO RAT VERSION 3-B "BLACK FACE"

In 1984 ProCo had a choice to make and they needed to make it fast. With the world's top pedal brands like BOSS, Ibanez, DOD and MXR all being produced in enclosures half the size of the RAT’s Big Box enclosure, sales began to dwindle. As a result, the RAT was nearly sent to the chopping block. In an effort to get attention back on the product and boost sales, the RAT was moved to the Small Box format. 

In 1986, we saw the small box receive its first cosmetic change. The 1984 white-fill screen print logo proved to be too difficult to produce without smudges, smears and inconsistent results. A close look at most any “White Face” RAT will show you the sloppy printing results. The white ink was too dense and easily gathered in the screen producing chunky lines and gobs of white ink making the type sets and lines blurry or hard to read. As a result, the V3-B known as the “Black Face” RAT is nothing more than a logo fix-- and a very good one at that!
