Low B Effect

[pshep68]

Is the an effect pedal that can simulate the low B of a five string?

 

[funkybassinator]

an octaver. but that wont really be anything like playing a 5er.

 

[RickenBoogie]

Octave down, but yeah, not the same thing at all.

 

[BassNoobSuomi]

Step 1. Use octaver..
Step 2. Play original bassline an octave above.
Step 3. You now have a low b.

 

[MultiScaleMale]

A fourth down on a Line 6 M series or a Digitech Whammy pedal. Then play like BEAD instead of EADG. There will be a slight delay in your playing due to the processing and you won't be able to slap, but in a mix it could work.

Just get a 5.

Or string up BEAD. Who needs G strings anyway.

 

[ddhm]

Strippers need G strings sorta

Do this with a Line 6 BassPODXTLive and it tracks to low G(!?) if you're very careful. It gets used on any song with a 5'er BUT it is not the same. Close enough in a loud club environment and it's amusing to watch players heads turn when you hit notes below low B.
