Trying to help someone find a deal on something for bass without totally breaking the bank (otherwise I'd have them just get an AX8).
Hoping to find something that will deliver an array of solid bass tones, while ALSO allowing for an idea I have, which is to allow the bass to take up some of the room that a rhythm guitar would, ala Royal Blood style, by splitting the bass signal something like this
Signal 1 > Normal bass tones
Signal 2 > Clean Bass > Pitch Shifter (1 octave up) > harmonizer (power chord sound) > distortion = fake rhythm guitar.
Signal 2 would need to be able to be clicked on and off (like a preset), and wouldn't have to NAIL a guitar sound (obviously), but would need to sound convincing enough to not totally off set the sound when I start to play a solo.
Hopefully that all makes sense...
I initially looked into the Eleven Rack (because I saw a decent local deal), but heard some horror stories about paying for the software to edit it on a PC, etc. I've long since fallen out of the Line 6 loop, and I only know of the Helix (which is a bit out of the current price range).
So here I am looking for suggestions What fair priced unit do you feel can do this without completely shitting the bed?
