Members TRU Posted March 31, 2017 Members Share Posted March 31, 2017 If a baritone guitar is commonly tuned down a fifth, and some effects processors have a "5th" setting, does that mean that such an effects processor can make a standard tuned guitar sound like a baritone??? If so, are their effects processors like this that you recommend??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any pitch shifter that can lower something by a 5th could be used for simulating a baritone, but for what you'd pay for a really good pitch shifter you're half way to the cost of an actual baritone guitar. At least that's the argument I used on myself to justify getting a Bari... But if you'd rather have the pedal, look at some of the DigiTech pitch shifting pedals. A Whammy pedal will do it just fine, as will their Drop and Ricochet pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheForkWigger Posted April 4, 2017 Members Share Posted April 4, 2017 i think it would just bring it back to unison, wouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
