What effect does a bass pedal have on your signal?

Several names frequently come up as a topic when it comes to overdrive and distortion pedals. Tubescreamers, Klons, and even the renowned Boss Metalzone MT-2 are simple names to drop. These pedals are worth the hype because they are enormously significant pedals that inspired other drive pedals afterwards.

The Pro Co RAT is also another pedal among the greats that have been overlooked in relation to sales. However, for many, including most of the TonePedia staff, it is one of the greatest. The JAM Pedal Rattler Bass is almost a replica of this Pro Co RAT.
