    Can the voice box be used with a bass guitar.

    It may not work as well, due to not getting many intervals, but it technically can. The bass also has lots of rich harmonics along with the fundamental note. No bassist I know has one yet, so you may not find a review or a video, so you may have to go check one out in a shop.

    well EHX say “Harmonically matches any electric instrument you plug into it” but from reading the manual it appaers that it might work better in some modes than others.

    ‘OCTAVES and UNISON + WHISTLE’ don’t require any instrument to work

    For the six harmony modes, it seems the Voice Box needs an instrument to provide chords. (“The best types of chords for the Voice Box should include the root, 3rd and 5th of the chord.”)

    VOCODER mode only requires a sound source; the VOCODER effects the instrument you play with your voice.

    so it seems you won’t get harmonies with a bass unless you are playing chords, but the other modes should be fine.

    Here’s a link to the manual anyway.
