Bass boost pedal for baritone guitar/Bass VI

I need the reverse of a treble boost. I need a boost pedal for the 20 hz-120 HZ range that can make my guitar punch a room like a distorted 5 string bass, or a drum played with mallets while retaining the pitch and tone of my instrument. I’m aware of the EHX mole and the DOD meatbox (which is more synthy I think) but I could also use a 10 band eq? What are your tips? And also for the sage tone it could help to have a pedal that 1. Can switch between 1/2 octave down, 1, 2 and 3 octaves down, and 2. I need a clean blend. Too many octave pedals are not only synthy but also unable to provide clean mix. I need no synth quality just pristine octave down and 75% dry 25% wet type situation. Thanks so much.

GEAR:
  • Dunlop Big Stubby 3.0mm Dark Purple Guitar Picks
  • Stringjoy Signatures (Custom Set w/ Wound 3rd)
  • EarthQuaker Devices Acapulco Gold V2

I'm not sure if I can suggest an octaver for this situation, but in the case of bass boost, you're looking for a bass overdrive/preamp pedal.

May I suggest that you look into the Darkglass B7K or ADAM? Those are tried and true pedals for metal bass and they work wonders for those low frequencies.

ADAM is more full-on distortion pedal that works great for guitars as well, but if you just want the bass boost, then the B7K is what I'd go with if I were you.

GEAR:
  • Ibanez RG652FX
  • Ibanez S521-MOL
  • Blank slot

This is perfect! I just need something to push lows and subs and a little bit of overall level and light dirt and it looks like these products will deliver

Thanks!
