Octave down recommendation

Sign in to disble this ad
Is there a general consensus on the best/fav octave pedal? I might be in the market for one. One that tracks well, and sound less synth-y than a Boss OC-2/3?

Thanks,

RS

Wait for the new MXR Bass Octave Deluxe to come it, then we'll give you an answer.

If you want less "synthy", try out a less-synthy analog octaver such as the EBS Octabass, the new MXR Bass Octave Deluxe (it has been released, but not all stores will have it yet) or Ampeg Sub-Blaster.

If you don't "dig" the tracking anomalies inherent with an analog octaver, then consider trying an EH POG or Micro POG...

Micro POG, nothing comes close in tracking. But it sounds synthy

I didn't like the tracking on the EBS at all,so I sold it. I am awaiting the MXR deluxe as well. Has anyone tried the Ashdown Sub Octave Plus? I had an Ashdown head a few years back and really liked the octave knob on the head. It was very smooth and subtle. Actually a little too subtle: I like the synth sound for soloing. It did fill out the sound nicely though.
