For example the first mode is -1, +1 which allows you to add the one octave lower and one octave higher to your signal. Each mode blends a combination of the various -2, -1, original signal, +1, +2 octaves. Conceptually the pedal is easy to understand. I just feel the same as a few others with bass, I get really into it for jazzy surf type stuff, but loose steam always and just look over longingly to my godin acs slim.The Mooer Pure Octave is a pitch shifter that blends sub octaves and upper octaves with your original guitar signal to thicken and widen your sound. If a pedal comes to mind based of what it seems like I’m trying to achieve, shoot because I am not stuck to this certain route in any way. The oscillator being dependent is ideal to because you could add a little buzz to the bass to cover that low floor room sound. I have plenty of other things to add tube, phatness, headroom, chatter. The subharmonic pitch algorithm should provide hopefully clean isolated deep pitch change, if anyone has used it I just want to know if it feels all encompassing. I’m think that datacorrupter should really be able to shake things up. The wild, but heavy punching at times Ottobit Jr, but I don’t use the pitch shifting as much as I should.Also the simpler of three EarthQuaker Organizer, but these still feel like pitch layers added in parellel and not absorbing all the original sound. I have both the Descent Reverb with -1/+1 pitch layers with great control. upgrade my bass to mid grade, thunderbird classic reboot bass, or get something like sub n up was my first guess, but saw the preset system tone print does and didn’t like. There's a (giant)wee list of pedals for you to try out if you can get your hands on them! Good luck. 3Leaf makes great stuff and their bass pedals will probably track just fine with a guitar, as the MXR bass pedals do. or, if you can find it, the 3Leaf Audio Octabvre, designed for the great Tim Lefebvre, one of the baddest bassists on earth. MXR's new octave pedals could be good, too. The Boss OC-2 sounds extremely badass with both guitar and bass as a source, and it has some picky tracking issues too, but if you can get it to work it would be awesome. Their Pitch Fork might be better for this, that's a solid pedal. Which is great, if that's exactly what you want. Not a whole lot of tone control with that sucker, it's gonna sound like you're using a POG. The EHX POG could be good too, but it's a pretty locked-in sound. The Organizer in particular could be cool for your purpose since it adds organ-like upper and lower pitches to your root sound, however you want to mix them. They make a couple other great pitch-shift/octave pedals, and I particularly like the Organizer and Pitch bay. Someone mentioned the EarthQuaker Bit Commander, which is an EXTREMELY gnarly pedal, but it does have some pretty quirky tracking tendencies, so it won't always be. As others have said, it won't sound like an electric bass, but it won't sound bad, either. Using a lower octave (or two) with your guitar can sound really cool in a bass role. (Buy a 5 string bass if you play a 7 string guitar)Īnd one day maybe you would buy a nice American Jazz Vintage for Xmas. However learning some proper finger technique will give you more fan. You can play the bass with pick like a guitar, it is only a big guitar with a huge neck and big strings. In total, you spend less than 150 and you will be happy enough. (cost something like 30$) that is very similar in analog circuit, to the Tech12 Bass Driver analog D.I. Or also would be better using it with a behringer BDI21 D.I. But I don't think it is versatile to transform your guitar into a bass.Įven a 100/120$ bass, if tuned correctly can work and with fresh strings can sound quite good with a bit of eq in the mix, even if you play it directly clean from a guitar unit with a bypassed amp module and a bit of volume in the patch. In my opinion the octaver is an effect to give a particular sound to distortion and crunch.
