Version 3 is the only one to get... 1 and 2 don't have an octave on/off switch.

(note to self: "Wow! I haven't picked up a bass in about two years!")
Here's the EQD produced bass demo with some very arbitrary knob tweaking:
...and a vid that shows the full range through feedback loop:

Re: Rats
I keep a Rat around to remind myself of why I don't like it.
It's not that it sounds bad... it sounds good, but for distortion it just can't compete with a high gain amp IMO.

Re: Rats
I've got a Chicago Stompworks Mr Vermin.
https://www.chicagostompworks.com/produ ... ack-finish
Supposedly is extremely accurate/authentic. I got mine way back when he was first making prototypes and although mine is a production spec unit, it came in a bare metal case with no markings other than a label maker sticker for the volume/gain/trebel cut.
It's a cool device and has a nice crunchy fuzzy thing going on but it's a sound I rarely use but still keep the pedal if I need something unique and it does cool things with bass guitar.

Re: Rats
Another alternative is the JHS RatPack.... 9 Rat variations in one pedal.
