Digitech Bass Synth wah vs. EBS Octaver

[hensonbass]

Which one has the more natural sounding octave sound?

[RickenBoogie]

I'm gonna assume the dedicated octave effect will be better than a multi, (BSW). But, what do you mean by natural sounding? Like clean? I like the Ehx Octave Multiplexer, and depending on the definition of natural, this would be my choice.

Probably the Ovtaver just by the name of it. The Bass Synth Wah is more for a techno-esque feel imo.

The Digitech BSW tracks much better and lower than the EBS, IMO. As far a sounding, it is a bit synthy sounding but it sounds as good as the EBS and a few other octave pedals that I've had, and you can't beat the tracking. I have it on my pedalboard and use it only for the octave effect, the other effects are not my favorites.

Funky Envelope > All.

While I didn't really like the BSW in general, the octave on it was great with regard to tracking and it had an alright sound too. Im not familiar with the EBS though, although they seem to make pretty decent stuff.
