the Guitar Pedal Thread

Sleater-Kinney manage to pull it off somehow. I watched a video of them perform "Entertain" on the Henry Rollins show, and they just use two guitars, instead of guitar and bass. My assumption was a phase/pitch shifter or sorts.

I am a huge EHX fan but their stuff is all overpriced. Watch eBay for a good deal. No effect will make a guitar sound like a bass since the string gauge and length produce a different tone, but, assuming you'd run thru a bass amplifier, you could probably cover the low end for a band.
And, honestly, wait on the doubleneck. You will want to know a lot more about just dealing with guitars before you commit to something that can be such a hassle sometimes (18 strings? How often will you want to change that?)

dear god imagine if it had a double locking tremolo(whammy system).
that would be brutal.

Actually, they just tune to C#.

They pull this off by, as mentioned above, tuning down, and also having higher voices than male singers tend to. The guitar actually is a baritone range instrument, and can cover the bottom end fine in standard tuning if the rest of the band is a piccolo and a fiddle or something.

Yeah, I recently got an EHX Little Big Muff Pi - something like AU$200 in shops here, but I got one brand new off E-bay for AU$110 including shipping. Not sure if they are usually that expensive in shops elsewhere around the world? Or maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places?
