Re: Faking a fretless sound?

I have a Zoom 506II digital multi-effects pedal, which, amongst other things, does a decent "fretless" sound. Also has nice chorus, flange, distortion, wah, all kinds a stuff. It's not made any more but the current equivalent model is the B1
take a look here http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/products/b1/index.php Runs about $80.

I am trying to fake a fretless sound with a fretted bass. The classic rock band I am in has 1 song that sounds good on a fretless. I would prefer to only take one bass to the gig. Is there a pedal that would give me a halfway reasonable fretless sound?

Thanks,
David
