Pro Co RAT
The Pro Co "The RAT" is a distortion pedal produced by Pro Co Sound. The original RAT was developed in the basement of Pro Co's Kalamazoo, Michigan facility in 1978. Numerous variations of the original RAT pedal are still being produced today. The pedal has changed in appearance over the years, but its tone has remained largely the same. Pro Co has also introduced variations of the RAT, including the Turbo RAT and the You Dirty RAT, among others. History The origins of the Pro Co "The RAT" can be traced back to the mid-1970s, when Pro Co engineers, Scott Burnham and Steve Kiraly repaired and hot-rodded existing distortion pedals, such as the Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face. Burnham decided he could build a superior product from the ground up, and designed "The RAT" pedal. In 1978, "The RAT" was being built as a custom-order product. Only twelve of these pedals (including one prototype), commonly referred to as the "Bud Box" RAT, were produced. Each pedal was built in a standard project ...

Hear The Wind Sing
is the first novel by Japanese writer Haruki Murakami. It first appeared in the June 1979 issue of ''Gunzo'', and in book form the next month. The novel was adapted by Japanese director Kazuki Ōmori in a 1981 film distributed by Art Theatre Guild. An English translation by Alfred Birnbaum appeared in 1987. It is the first book in the so-called "Trilogy of the Rat" series of independent novels, followed by ''Pinball, 1973'' (1980) and ''A Wild Sheep Chase'' (1982), before the later epilogue '' Dance Dance Dance'' (1988). All four books in the series have been translated into English, but ''Hear the Wind Sing'' and ''Pinball, 1973'' (which are realist novels slightly differing from the author's later style) were never widely distributed in the English-speaking world, having only been published in Japan by Kodansha under their Kodansha English Library branding (for English Foreign Language learners), and both only as A6-sized pocketbooks. This was due to Murakami viewing the two n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Rat (novel)
''The Rat'' (german: Die Rättin, literally ''The Ratess'') is a 1986 novel by the German writer Günter Grass. Structure and content The plot is composed of many narrative strands and oscillates between fairytale, travelogue and surreal novel. It also contains cinematic perspectives and some poems. Grass incorporates some narrative threads of his success novels '' The Tin Drum'' as well as the ''Butt''; further passages on maritime disasters, the sinking of the ''Wilhelm Gustloff'', anticipate aspects of his book ''Crabwalk''. Grass has conceived the novel as a counter-image to Gotthold Ephraim Lessing's picture of the education of the human race: Humanity (Grass used deliberately old-fashioned word "mankind") have indeed learned "the virtue to eat with spoons, diligently the subjunctive and practice tolerance", all enlightenment but not their tendency to get their violence under control. In the dreams of the narrator, who seems to be in a spaceship orbiting the devastated eart ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
