Digital guitar emulator? Mar 31, 2023 12:48:58 GMT -5

I'm playing with my Electro Harmonix pedals-
C9, which converts my electric guitar input into various organ sound (B3, Farfisa), and the
Bass9, which converts my electric guitar input into various bass guitar sounds (PBass, Longhorn, etc).
I've also got my POD, which emulates various amp sounds, as well as a Digitech 12 string effect.

Has anyone found a pedal/rack module that claims, given a guitar input, to output a specific
guitar sound? You know, dial up a rosewood Tele, or a mid-selector switch-ed strat, or any
Gibson distortion, OR maybe a smooth-as-bourbon Gretsch?

Yeah, I know, its not gonna be great, but it could provide some various colorings for the
home studio recordings... I wonder how feasible this could be?

any thoughts?

Not a pedal per se, but the Roland VG-99 (and the GR-55) do it admirably.

Requires a hex pickup though.

+/- 24 step tuning per string on a patch basis as well, so you can make fake bass that's plausible - it's the gateway drug that reminded me I NEEDED a Bass VI after doing it on the Jaguar.

Now, ironically, I do Jaguar because I have a synth pickup on my Bass VI and go an octave up!

Has various acoustic options, electric options, etc - bass ones as well if it's run in "bass mode".

It is NOT cheap.

I’ve not tried it but from the videos I’ve seen it’s somewhat convincing…
