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???

Usually what a "fifth" pitch shift does is to add a note a 5th above whatever you're playing.

 

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... :lol: 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.
