 Hey Per, Ive checked out the OC3 and it works very well. If what you are
after is simple faux bass capability this would indeed be a good unit to
have. I think you would enjoy using that more than wearing a double neck
guitar/bass around your neck. Unless of course you enjoy back spasms Ha!
Ha!

Today I was reading a top review of the "BOSS Super Octave OC-3" in a
guitar magazine. Anyone tried it? I think that is a concept I'd like to
keep handy - simply pitching my live instrument signal down before
running it into my looping rig. When playing more melodic  music it's
good to be able to rely on instrumental chops and traditional music
theory.

I'm looking for a more common bass solution, to complement the usual
"experimental" ways to tune down loops after recording them (Repeater)
or kick into HalfSpeed (EDP).

What I'd REALLY would like to have is a double-neck
Stratocaster/Jazz-Bass and no bass pedals  ;-)  By the way, one one of
the best bass sounds I've heard, at least for non-funk music, came from
Matthias Grob's special hexaphonic guitar pick-up and that Paradis
Poly-Sub-Bass unit. But those monsters went out of production long ago.

All the best
