Hello Audio.pro peeps,
I'm not sure what to do and got such great advise from this group
before i'm hoping you can help me out with this one; I want to use a
guitar to simulate jazz walking bass while i loop it then play sax on
top, i don't want mixed guitar/bass octaves but just the bass octave,
i have a boss loop pedal and now need an octave pedal, do you think
the cheap Behringer Ultra Octaver UE300 for 19euros will do the job ?
I will be playing through a Roland AC33 amp.
thanks,
JJ

You want this for live performance?

If it's for studio, I think you'd be better off with a bass sequencer
working with synth bass or samples. If it's live, same answer, but pre-
load the sequence into your loop pedal.

Peace,

Or, you could buy one of those Korean Fender basses at a pawnshop for not
much more than the cost of that pedal.

Heya JJ

Not wanting to talk you out of anything - but alot of simulating a bass can
be to do with the feel and tone you put into it, rather than the octave you
play in.
Ive done alot of solo "band on a guitar" type of thing - running basslines
with the thumb, chordal parts with the fingers etc and maybe a melody too
(or just backing a singer this way).
Tuck Andress is a master of the style - Im sure his thing of doing walking
basslines while chordal stabbing and creating the illusion of two parts
happening is online, and its more to do with putting a different feel on the
bass part to the chordal part. In fact I'll find the link now

This may not be what you are looking for, but definitely is a good option at
times.
id suggest the "feel" of your parts is more important than the octave,

Having been there myself, I would add that one would be amazed at what
any electric guitar can do bass-role-wise by wailing the bass and
cutting the highs on the amp. You don't even need to drop the octave
once you've done that. I've walked the occasional bass on a strat on
clubdates doing that and it was better than any other more complicated
option I tried, like an octave pedal.

Problem with the cheap octave pedals (and I love my Boss Octave pedal)
is that they're not harmonizing the note down, they're giving you a
low tone an octave or two down. Lot's of fun but nothing like a
walked bass at all. I can't imagine that the $20 Behringer is more
than a synthesized organy tone an octave down.

Did you try the Behringer?

I've used an octave drop setting on a TC G Mjor processor, but that's a
bit more costly. Worked surprisingly well.
