So i popped into Guitar Guitar Camden today to test a couple of compressor pedals out.
Needed some drive pedals i was familiar with too see if the compressor was doing the right things, one pedal i wanted to try was a rat style as I’m familiar with them.
lo and behold!!! Sitting on their shelf was a black JHS rat pedal akin to the bonsai or muffuletta, about ten modes including og, white face, brat, dirty rat, keeley mod, jhs mod and a few others.
i liked it, sounded ratty, but couldn’t justify the money on a rat when i have 2 already and am pretty happy with them.
Started looking for it online and unless I’m looking in the wrong places, there’s absolutely no mention of them anywhere. I can’t remember what he’s called it, was black, had a pic of a rat on it. Just seems weird that shops in the uk would be already stocking a pedal without the usual fanfare on their channels or reviewers channels?

I’ve actually just ordered a Black Mass 1312 which is exactly what you describe - a rat circuit with umpteen clipping options. But that pedal has an upside down police car on it, not a rat. I have a hot pink one in the post
Are you sure it was JHS?
EDIT: I have found the square root of f***-all online about this either.
They did say it’d only been received today.
This sounds plausible.
They currently sell a modded RAT called a Pack Rat

Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
It is indeed called a Packrat.

Looks like they've done a modded rat with the same name before.

No mention of this one online.
Question is.... Do I buy it? I have no need for a Rat pedal.
I will not be buying it....
They had no idea it was so 'exclusive'....
