Sign in to disble this ad
Anyone know of one, with either a non latching switch, or a Momentary option similar to the Boss Flanger, I'd prefer it to be an option rather than the only way.
I believe it's on the Mu-Tron Octave Divider, but of course thats not easy to find, and way too expensive.
Thanks all.

Akai Unibass - its an octave up, and you can set the second footswitch to be latching or momentary - and this'll allow toy to add to the octave up a 5th up or a 4th down, or cut out your natural bass tone (so stomp for a guitar tone, then let go and the bass comes in underneath-great for riff rock)

Kinda like the way Larry Graham uses his in the Funk Original vids on youtube.

Then I gotta pick which octave I want still, a POG of some kind seems to be an option, or an EBS.

I have a "rotary speaker" effect on the way to make it even more over the top.
As octaver I would go for something else. POG is expensive.
I'm hearing a lot of good things about the BOSS, EBS and MicroPOG (Micro is not as metallic as big POG).
If I would need an octaver just for down octave, I'd go with a BOSS Super Shifter.
Because it also has other fun uses.
edit: Super Shifter with expression pedal, woudl that satisfy your needs?

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: York, UK | | | I wanted something like this on a delay - being able to just fire a few notes through it now and again. Eventually I got the idea of having someone build a utility box for me, so I could stick the delay in a loop and have a momentary switch to engage it, but with a blend on the loop return so the delay could continue to trail off.
I never did get anyone to build it for me, but I think it would be a great tool to have. I've been thinking again recently it would be nice to have one wrapped around one of my synth pedals.
I suppose another option would be to use any loop blend box with a volume pedal on the loop send, but that would take up a lot of space and not be as convenient to use. |

Should be a more common feature.

This is what originally intrested me in a momentary Octaver. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSiACMzEKRM

Well, I'll pick one up soon, a switch, and probably a super shifter and expression pedal, someting is bound to work!

So you can hook up two after each other. One for octave bombing and one for variable harmonist.
Both operated with an expression pedal.
