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.
