If you get this pedal though, there is no need for bass chords. If you want something that does track bass chords, going digital is the only avenue for that. This is ideal for playing stoner rock groove riffs past the 12th fret on any string, almost sounds like a church organ. Crank up the girth, play an E on your G string and it pretty much sounds like your playing your lower E. It fills out the notes so much, really fattens them out.

It's the girth dial that gives this pedal its wallop. I have the dry and the growl dialed in just above 12. There's an excellent mid+ switch on it that helps with the definition of the octave on the lower register notes and it definitely adds a brighter sound to mid range register octaves. I have mine in my chain straight after my compressor to help with the tracking issues and my EQ after it, the sound is massive and that's even before you start dialing in your preferred settings on the pedal. The tracking is great, anything lower than drop D it starts losing it a bit but it sounds amazing on anything on frequencies higher that that. This pedal is really great for providing a lower octave to what you're playing.
