Turning my guitar into a bass in 2024
I'm looking for recommendations to turn my guitar sound into a bass sound for live looping.
Something like this but on ipad:

I tried the whammy option with a bass amp in thu, but the pitch tracking was pretty bad.
Ideally there's a standalone vst pitch shifter that I can put before mastodon. Has anyone had any luck in finding something great?
The last discussion about this was in 2014 so I'm hoping there are some better options

Not sure about great, but Yonac's Zodiak Taurus Mega Octavizer is recent and got good reviews.
+1
This seems to be a somewhat controversial topic for which there isn't a consensus answer. Some people swear by QVox, there is an impressive PD Space Guitar demo (
). I've heard an impressive demo made with the most recent ToneStack Pro update.
Quite a few people on the various Loopy Pro forums have said that nothing beats their hardware pedals though for lack of latency.
I second (or third) that recommendation.
I use Electro Harmonix Bass9 guitar pedal. I haven't found anything that comes close. But as already mentioned, many Loopy Pro users say Eventide's QVox is the app to get. I haven't tried it, but it is on sale right now. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/qvox/id1488786684
I’d say pitch it down an octave, and add some distortion.
In the words of Reid Stefan, “Distortion is the secret sauce to disrespectful basses”
“So disrespectful, even my mum would feel offended”
Got the Zodiak Taurus and holy crap it's everything I wanted and then some. Sounds really heavy through the mammoth with distortion. Just great!
Don't notice any latency. Now I can sell my whammy with no regrets
Didn't get the qvox cause it's a diatonic only pitch shifter.
You don't need a pitch-shifting app. Record the guitar bass line in double time sans fx, then play back at half speed in AUM.
😂
They are doing live looping…so they want it pitched down while playing.
Zodiac or Qvox + distortion or fuzz or Nembrini PSA 1000 jr + Nembrini Basshammer = killer bass sound
