Double Bass Need Recommendation for Harmonizer pedal

[alexisbass]

Friends, I'm trying to achieve this effect: A pedal that will give me an octave below what I'm playing plus a 5th up. With the option of having them together and separate as effects... Doesn't seem so hard, but after browsing online for a while I can't really seem to figure it out. Any specific recommendations would be much appreciated.

I want to use this for double bass, not electric.

Thanks a lot and take care

Chris Wood and Viktor Krauss are kind of the boy wonders at this kind of signal processing. Years ago Viktor had a feature in bass player that showed the toys he used.

The Electroharmonix Hog. I've never used it, but it looks like a lot of fun!

Thanks guys... wish they had like a $50 boss pedal that did that!
Those look like fun toys though

I think the boss pitch shifters PS-2 or PS-3 can do that. Not 100% sure though.

the Boss harmonist can also do it I guess:


what are you going to use that for on double bass?

Just be careful with a harmonist. It has to lock onto the fundamental note frequency then play the transposed note in a particular key.

All well and good for a fretted guitar with higher frequency notes but its much more difficult to work successfully on a fretless double bass.

I have tried my Boss OC-2 octaver on my double bass once just for fun.
It sounded pretty good and the tracking was pretty good to my surprise.
I never use it though because I don't like effects on my DB.

 

[alexisbass]

Oh yeah I've used the OC-2 plenty... does not give you a 5th thou...

Thanks!

I know, but check the other pedals I have mentioned,

Especially the Boss Harmonist HR-2 does exactly what you want

I just purchased a POG2 also by Electro-harmonix. It's coming in the mail so I have no idea how well it works but it sounds like something you would be interested in.

I'd say EHX HOG too.
