Dave's Baritone sound

I currently have a Clapton Stratocaster, and I was wondering if there was a type of pedal that you could buy to make a regular guitar sound like a baritone. One of my customers would like to know. I currently have the Clapton Crossroad's Pedal. That gets close with some distortion and reverb put in. But I would like to get as close to the real sound as possible.

Thanks

well, a whammy pedal might do it, id have to check but if not... tune the guitar to C# F# B E G# C# and itll sound baritone.

it was a nice option, but ive tried doing that, either the strings snap or you dont get that true baritone sound. It has like a deeper but more upbeat kind of pickup in it and i cant find it on any sites. Ill try the whammy pedal though.

Thanks

will that cause your guitar to amplify as baritone, or will it just give you the sound?

First of all, just as many strings are broken while tuning down.

Second of all, what the hell would a wammy pedal do?

It either can raise or lower the pitch one octave.

I'd trust an octave pedal before a whammy!

Are you kidding me, I would kill for a digitech whammy!
