RE: inputing bass

Title: Message
Ah, you gotta love free internet in the airport. Yes, Badass Edge. I love it. It's not just an octave, but has some other interesting filtering features.  I can't describe what it is, but this VST makes my guitar sound like a bass guitar better than any other octave patch I've used...it even blows away the pitch shifting on my Boss VF1.
 
More here:
 
 
"EDGE is a subharmonic synth, which means that if you feed it audio the resulting output will be your audio plus extra low bass.Unlike most bass enhancers, it doesn't just boost the bass or shape the lower frequencies. What it does is takes the input signal and creates a bass signal one (or even two) octaves lower than the original. Because not every signal is a simple sine wave, there is input filtering which effectively gives the plugin a more simple waveform to process."
 
Oh, wow...now I see why it sounds so different. It is a subharmonic synth. This thing can shake the earth if you have some wattage in the cottage.

This will, of course, revert to a hardware vs. software question.  I don't know of any loopers, hardware or software, in and of themselves that will really give you what you're looking for.  Then again, I'm not terribly familiar with most loopers.  In the software world, Mobius does have pitch and rate adjustment features.  However, I haven't had much success with these when playing a rhythmic bass line.  Still some bugs to work out there, I think.  Krispen has pointed out a VST called Edge (if I'm remembering correctly) that he uses in conjunction with Mobius to produce some great bass sounds from his guitars.  I'm sure he can give you more details if you're interested.
