Octave Divider

An octave divider adds a second tone one octave lower to any signal. With a guitar, it sounds like a bass playing along with the guitar. This actually can free up the bass guitar to go off on other stuff.

Usually has one knob, Mix, which controls the ratio of dry to affected tone.

This effect can be mimicked with a pitch shifter set to exactly one octave down also.

Lightning Bolt uses it on the bass in "13 Monsters."
