Turn Your Guitar Into a Bass
If you’ve performed as a solo act, you know the pain of having to switch instruments to lay down a bass line. The Bass9 Bass Machine pedal from Electro-Harmonix has solved that issue. This guitar effects pedal allows you to turn your guitar into a bass to record a quick bass loop before jumping back into the lead line. You can choose between 9 awesome presets that cover the legendary bass sounds from Precision to Longhorn, or Bowed to Synth. At Sweetwater, we especially liked the 3:03 setting that captures the genre-defining squelch of the ’80s. If you’re using a looper, this pedal will be perfect for you. Kiss your unwanted instrument changes goodbye and say hello to the Bass9.
