OK, you were warned... please no hate mail... but...
Has anybody ever tried one of these gizmos with your rhythm guitar to emulate a bass sound?

I haven't seen it used to emulate a bass sound, but Stephane Wrembel (and quite frankly many other players) use that or the OC-3 to create doubling and almost 12-string tones from their guitars. I think these pedals add a great deal of texture to the palette and I like seeing it used in settings where we may not expect pedals to be used.
Yes, but that pedal doesn't sound good. There are better ones. I enjoyed using the EBS Octabass.. a pedal from Sweden. I used to play solo shows with a looper and used it on some tunes. Off topic point.. my rule with the looper was that I had to have two things going at once and would usually start off singing while laying down the rhythm.
I used a Boss OC-3 with AJL Q&P practice guitar with Stimer on the bass track here

Nice playing!
Hey, I remember you, Kimmo… you and AJ stayed at our same riverside hotel at Samois way back in 2016!
To be honest, I could barely hear the “bass” on your recording… any chance you could “turn it up to 11”…?
Thanks,
Will

Love it @kimmo! Kiitos for making the video.
Hey, Will, the bass is right there when listening on full size speakers.
Whatever gets the job done. I used that Boss pedal in my rock days to fatten up some riffs. I read for bass emulation on an acoustic, newer digital pedal do a much better job of tracking the notes.

Oopsie, yes indeed it is!
It was inaudible on my iPad... sorry Kimmo.
