I work a lot with my loop pedal trying to build song progressively adding a base riff, bass and then playing a solo on it. It's a lot of fun ! In that purpose, I have a Boss RC-20 Loop pedal which is awesomely cool. I can overdub easily and it works perfectly. What I would like to improve is the way I play the bass line. Obviously, I use my guitar to do that and I wonder if I could get a more bass sound with an octaver ? Is an octaver a pedal who drop your sound one octave below ? And do you know any good octaver pedal ? So I could put it in front of the loop pedal and switch it on to play the bass then switch off to play the guitar. That could work, I am sure.

But Boss has a strictly octavider thing that also is good that is not so expensive... Congrats Keilnoth, I just bought a RC-20 myself, it is real fun to do some practicing with that one! //Staffay You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If it'll give a good bass sound or not, idk. Probably you can get a cheap real bass that will sound more like a real bass for the same money you spend on a pedal The problem I guess will be to adapt to playing rhythm to go with the drums and not sound like a guitar player on bass.

It's a decent pedal, cheap, and does the job. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

You'll enjoy the octave up, which the boss doesn't give you. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

You should be able to get a more "bass like" sound with it... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
