So i have a sub bass, but i want to cut off the high frequencies and make stereo. How can I do this?

Add a slope or Curve with a low pass filter (LP) to cut off the upper frequencies.
Add a stereo enhancer to encance stereo. If your source is a Heisenberg or Space: increase the number of voices.

How did you design your sub bass? It shouldn't have any high frequencies to begin with. Also, sub basses tend to be kept in mono. Otherwise, phase issues might weaken the sound. You can try to add subtle distortion to a low-pass filtered copy of your sub bass and add stereo width to that instead.

Sorry, meant high-passed copy of course. Can't edit comment anymore.

i'm trying to make it sound something like the bass in this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_dhPGHjUwY which to me sounds like and extremely distorted sub then some stereo, but i tried that but it just doesn't work

I just listened to it. Yes, the bass definitely has distortion. You can achieve that with the Tube pedal. After recording a chunk of the track in Audacity, it looks like on the low frequency end the right channel is consistently delayed about 4 milliseconds in respect to the left channel. You could create the basic sound (mono) with the Pulverisateur and adjust the cutoff frequency to mimic the (quite low) amount of harmonics of the original (maybe use key-track to keep it constant across different notes). For the stereo effect, you could either try a StereoDetune pedal with Tune set to zero (so as to not introduce any pitch shifting) and a small amount of Delay (try different values until you find what sounds best). Alternatively you could try the Stereo Enhancer device. Set Tone quite low to target the low end, then try small values of Stereo until it sounds good. I can't open the app and try myself right now, so I'm guessing. Let me know if this helps.

Thanks for the tips but how can you delay a frequency?

As far as I know, the StereoDetune pedal delays the whole signal in one of the stereo channels by the amount set with the Delay knob. The Stereo Enhancer, on the other hand, can delay just a portion of the frequency spectrum, the one -above- the frequency set with the Tone knob. Check the manual for more detail and usage examples: https://www.audiotool.com/board/manual/stereo_enhancer
