12 string simulation pedal

[Chad]

Ok, I know there are a few pedals that can make your 6 string sound like a 12 string. What are some of the better ones?

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

There are none.

 

[micwalt]

There are none.

This.

I just watched a few videos of the Micro Pog and the Morpheus Capo and both are close enough for me. I guess I will start there.

The problem is in the high strings. The octaves sound chirpy.

Yeah but I'm not going on tour with the Byrds anytime soon so I just need close enough for my basement.

Get a Danelectro instead.

It seems a little excessive to buy a 12 string for the once every few months I feel like having a 12 string sound.

Do they make a 24" scale 12 string?

Oh yeah? I'll have to hook it up again and listen more closely when I get a chance.

I have the same issue with my Pitchfactor. An actual 12 has unison strings for the E and B. The pedal just shifts everything. The Variax is the only other solution.

That's why I sold my 12. All Dano guitars are 25" scale. Tune to D and capo the 2nd fret.

To create the illusion of a 12 I used a digitech whammy set to octave up and a jangle box comp. I used this setup in my Tom Petty tribute.

 

[Stratguy]

I have a Yamaha Magic Stomp that does a decent 12-string rendition. I don't use it anymore, though. I liked the sound so much, I went out and bought a 12-string.

 

[Chad]

So I just stumbled on this. I think this might get close enough to a 12 string for me.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

That is really cool. I could consider it for electric playing.

It isn't perfect, but close enough for rock and roll

Yeah. I really don't have much call for 12-string electric guitar, so that would fill that occasional desire.

Unless you are the Byrds or REM, you don't have much of a need for an electric 12-string.
