Description
transforms pitch, frequency, harmonics, and attack to provide a practical bass replacement for writing, recording, and live performance.
How it works
The incoming guitar signal is filtered before entering a single-voice spectral pitch-shifting engine. The pitch is permanently shifted down by one octave
This produces a fixed transposition of −12 semitones.
After the octave conversion, the sound passes through several carefully shaped frequency bands
Place the device directly after a clean guitar input. For the most natural tracking, use the neck pickup, reduce excessive input distortion, play clearly, and avoid letting multiple notes ring together. It works best with single-note bass lines, riffs, and palm-muted parts.
