need sub-wave pedal

[nonsqtr]

What should I be looking at? I need a sub-wave pedal that will track reliably with a five-string bass.

Yuk yuk. Really, it's a serious question. Does anything like this exist?

i like the dbx 120xp subharmonic synthesizer.
simple 1 rackspace unit
two knobs add subharmonics generated over two separate octaves of sythesis. great tracking. huge bottom...
very musical tones come out of this box.
use with caution, as with any sub frequency generator....
you can dammage speakers easily with this.
alot of folks around here seem to like 'em
cheers

Pedal? Search on DOD FX-25 with attention to Mad Subwoofer's posts. I recently got one and it does indeed generate a ridiculously low tone. Seems to track OK with my 5.

Hi Smash. How does that tone fare in a mix- is it punchy enough to get through? God knows how many boxes I've been through trying to find one that does. I don't know if you're familiar with the digitech synth/envelope but it does something I can only assume is similar (sub synth with envelope shut)- but still doesn't quite stand up alongsiside a busy drum beat the way I'd like.
Anyone know where Mad subwoofer's at? I used to enjoy reading his reviews.

The Akai Deep Impact will track that low and has a pretty nice octaver. Less warm and woolly sounding than analogue octavers but tight and clean and for a bit of cut you can always turn up the resonance and adjust the cut off frequency to hit the right spot.

Also, the Digitech SynthWah tracks very very nicely. It's a steal for $80
