AinsleyWalker Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I have a Boss ME-50B multi-fx I used to use before I got individual pedals and it had a defretter effect on it which was pretty decent. I can't find any individual pedals out there that do this, does anyone know of anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Zoom's MS-60b does that. Stomp box size too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3below Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1477861137' post='3164926'] Here's [url="http://www.tonetechluthiersupplies.co.uk/summit-ergonomic-fret-cutter.html"]a link[/url] to the best on the market [/quote] Surely this: £24.99 bargain, however I have found it leaves marks on the fingerboard if you are not careful. In all seriousness it is surprising that the 'defret' pedal does not exist. Edited October 30, 2016 by 3below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AinsleyWalker Posted September 10, 2022 Author Share Posted September 10, 2022 Found my own 6 year old topic while searching the same question on Google haha... Still nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz39 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I had a Zoom 4040 back in the 90s that did defretting too. It had loads of cool noises. Arpeggiator, crazy wah, and I even nailed the Motorbikes in Space sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tut Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I use a patch in our band that uses the ‘defret’ pedal in the Zoom B3n. It’s a kind of fret less synthy sound. I reckon I could get it more fret less if I worked on it. Same sounds more or less on the B1 four Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafbass02 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I recorded this song sometime in the late 90s using the defretter on a zoom 506 of all things. I was shooting for a fretless sound just using my jazz bass favouring the bridge a tad and rolling back the tone. It is what is is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naxos10 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 The same defretter effect was included in the Zoom 708 as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chienmortbb Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 THe B1On and B1Four have a fretless patch from memory. I use the one in the B1Four as part of a patch to simulate a double bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
