Or you could like, find a ProCo RAT, or something to that effect.
I used one of these the other day:
And thought it was pretty sweet. The bypass switch felt flimsy, and I thought the tone knob left a little to be desired, but overall a sick pedal. I loved the gate feature. The tone knob gave you either a hushed, bassy sound or more or less a hissy treble sound. It was hard for me to really find a tone I liked, but I'm kind of picky about that thing.

Wow, well done on typing all that up.
The Sonic Alienator isn't just for noise, it's a fantastic bass distortion/overdrive as well. That's what I use it for mainly. Some settings are pretty fat on the bottom end. I run it into a Moog MF-101 LPF for sweet synthish tones, in parallel with my dry signal for huuuuuge sound.

I'm a beginner. The EHX HOG looks awesome to me. Versatile enough for its price tag even. What do you think?
And would it be best to upgrade from my Squier strat (which I like), before (or at the same time as) getting it?
Does it work well enough for me not to have to long for a 6/12 doubleneck anymore? What kind of tone differences are there between a real bass and its sub octave (and sub-sub octave)?
Am I asking too many questions? Shouldn't I make my own decisions?
Its probably all just a matter of opinion, unless it really sucks, and a beginner like me wouldn't know this until after gaining a little more experience.

Pretty much the only thing I can tell you is try it for yourself and then write up a review for us!

I am a huge EHX fan but their stuff is all overpriced. Watch eBay for a good deal. No effect will make a guitar sound like a bass since the string gauge and length produce a different tone, but, assuming you'd run thru a bass amplifier, you could probably cover the low end for a band.
And, honestly, wait on the doubleneck. You will want to know a lot more about just dealing with guitars before you commit to something that can be such a hassle sometimes (18 strings? How often will you want to change that?)
