FAT RAT FR-15

Controls G - Gain T - Treble M - Middle B - Bass OD - Overdrive Switch The FAT RAT FR-15 is an obscure, budget-friendly entry-level practice combo amplifier. It is not associated with ProCo's famous "RAT" distortion pedals; rather, "FAT" (or Fat Rat) was a minor brand name used for budget music gear, typically sold in the UK and Europe. Key Specifications & Features Power Output: 15 Watts RMS. This provides plenty of volume for bedroom practice or quiet rehearsals, but it isn't powerful enough to compete with a loud acoustic drum kit. Speaker: Typically equipped with an 8-inch speaker, standard for compact 15-watt practice amps. Tone Shaping: It features a basic 3-Band EQ consisting of Bass, Middle, and Treble knobs to dial in your tone. Built-in Effects: Unlike many bare-bones starter amps, the FR-15 includes a built-in Reverb effect to add depth and space to the sound. Form Factor: Highly portable and compact, measuring roughly 31 cm x 31 cm x 21 cm. Dual-Purpose Use Interestingly, because of its basic design and solid-state circuitry, you will find this model floating around used markets marketed interchangeably as both a guitar and a bass guitar practice amp. While it performs perfectly fine as a low-volume home practice tool for either instrument, an 8-inch speaker can push only so much low-end frequency before it distorts.
