Mutron Octave Divider score

Got it yesterday not-working properly as described. Just had a bad opamp, works great now and sounds awesome. $300 is a lot for an octave divider, but I could flip it for double what I paid.

well i can tell you one thing, 300.00 is a steal for that oct divider. And nothing i have ever heard compares to the MU-tron, it is easily my favorite oct down. SMOOOOOOOOTH! And the best tracking analog oct down too!
good score!!!

if i didnt already have one i'd be arm wrestling you for that!!!!

And I know you would win!

I had one in the mid 90's that I paid $100 for (fair price for it then). I didn't think it was all that much better than the Boss Octave. I must've had too much wax in my ears or something It's monstrous with a Big Muff after it.

Malekko should clone it.

Funny, none of the LED's in this one are working, gotta figure that out still.

Guess I should sell this before the *cough cough* comes out and drives the prices down

The Led chain is a little weird, if i recall correctly the bottom two are hooked together. When are you going to move to Austin and work for Malekko?

Paul (my biz partner) played it with a silicon B:AM and hasnt stopped!!! The first thing he said was DAMN, why didnt i have one of these 20 years ago!

Yeah, the power one too. They could just all be blown, or maybe something between them.

What are the hours

That is cool that you were able to fix it your self.
I recentley hit a wall on BMS. I got it to power on. But it will not bypass any audio. No matter how much I stomp the switch.

Good job. I say keep it around. Screw flipping it.

The Mutron Octave Divider is one of those pedals that I've always wanted to own, but never could justify the price tag.

But this plastercaster sounds mighty interesting...Put my name down for one

An audio probe is your friend.
