Ok, after several months of my friend forgetting to bring my vocal fx pedal back he finally did. It's a DOD VoFX. It has all sorts of different presets. It can add echo, reverb, detune notes and a bunch of other things. I'm not very good at programming it, but one of the presets seems to create either a 3rd or a 5th under the original pitch, plus the original pitch. I'm having a lot of fun playing my LLF through it. It gives me a crazy partial chord with a note even deeper than what I'm playing.
That got me thinking though. Someone was commenting the other day that the harmonica only plays basic chords. Is there a pedal out there to fix this? With detuning I could set one channel for a 3rd and a 5th, but that would only work for major chords. It seems it wouldn't take too much for a pedal to let you switch between a major or minor chord underneath, or maybe even let you run through the different inversions of the chord. My question is, is there a pedal that does this?

You can program a TC Helicon Voice Live to generate all sorts of harmonies. While this is a vocal processor, i've heard it used for sax and it sounds great. I imagine it would work well for harmonica, but I've never actually tried one or seen one used for harp.

I don't use the voicelive, but I do have a rackmount TC Helicon Quintet. Once it's setup right you can get some great effects. I think the Electroharmonix HOG is what would do this best, but to switch between settings you might need to buy the footswitch too. I believe Buddha uses a HOG.
