Open Challenge: Simple Pitch Detuner (by Hz)

So, I don't know how many of you are keen to this "binaural beats" business, but if you don't, you should probably google that shizz. Mr. Ohnoho gave me the idea...

Anyway, I not only really like them, but I believe they're doable...with a pedal. Er, two. Any stereo splitter (I'll be using an FX67), and then on one line, have there be a 100% wet detuning pedal, variable by Hz (you kinda have to understand how these binaural beats work to get why).

The more fine-tunable, the better. Ideally, ranging from 1 hert to 40 hertz (the "effective" range).

Get at me, fools. I know there are some smart dudes on here. Though, I'm looking for this to be simple. One knob, little box, simple (read: cheap as possible :P).

Don't Binaural Beats only work if you are using headphones?

Unless you had a very, very large stereo.

I'm gonna be making stereo recordings, to be listened to with headphones.

Hmm, interesting idea. I hadn't heard of binaural beats before. What instrument would you plan on using with this pedal? I only read the wikipedia page on them, but it looks like you need to generate pure tones (meaning no overtones) for this to work.
