This is an effect I've always wanted to try that I built on DreamMaker FX. Essentially, the low guitar string notes are filtered and sent through a marching delay line and the higher notes pass through unaffected. You can create an automatic bass line without any controls.

   // Run pedal service to take care of stuff
  pedal.service();
