How would it sound if you ran a vocal mic through an octave pedal?

I'm trying to get a crazy low voice (think Yello here) live, and I'm wondering what the cheapest way to do it would be.

Any other ideas?

if you want it to track well, digitec makes something called the Vocal 300 that tracks a lower or upper octive well, I see them on ebay for about 150.00 from time to time, the Hi-Fi used to have one but I have no clue where it went

Yeah, we have an Eventide (I think it's an H3000) and without a doubt that's the best harmonizer I've heard. We hardly use it, and honestly I don't even know why we have it, but when we want some whacky vocal sound then that's what we always use. I haven't looked at how much they're going for on eBay, but I remember them being fairly expensive.
