Version 3 is the only one to get... 1 and 2 don't have an octave on/off switch.
Oh this is cool!!! Have you tried it on bass? Seems like it would be a cool distortion/octaver for bass.

I have never tried it on bass!
(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:

Its funny I never had a Rat either but I do have 3 versions of the Life pedal lol which btw Billie sounds killer with bass. Not to mention it will add +20 to all DooM and stoner rock skills 👀

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.

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.
Too much junk to list with 255 characters. :facepalm:

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