tracking

This is my first octave box. It's a great pleasure to play guitar and bass with an octave effect. It makes me want to play more and more. I was looking for an octaver and figured out there's this one which is cheaper than all but I heard that it's basically a Boss OC-2 copy.
This box is made of heavy duty plastic, it doesn't feel very cheap but it's not as sturdy as a metal box. It has 1 and 2 octave down which you can mix. It's simple to use and does the job.
Of course, the major problem with all octavers exist with this one, too. The tracking isn't awesome. It does not work much on the low E. On the higher strings, it works most of the time. I actually love those weird sounds the device makes as it is trying to reproduce the input at the correct pitch.
If you're looking to see what it feels like to play with an octaver (you've never had one) this looks like a great place to start since it's very cheap. I've heard of many other much more expensive octavers that track much better on this forum (EBS Octabass, MXR bass octave, EHX POG) and it shouldn't compare to those. But perhaps, as is stated at harmony central, it might do the job as good as a boss OC-2.

Pros:
|
blend knob and price
|
|
Cons:
|
E string tracking
|
|
Great pedal for the price. Its useless in a musical sense to try and play notes on the E, even down the neck in the 12th and above frets the tracking is slightly off. But if you make ambient music the wierd osillations that occur while its trying to track the deep notes is a plus. The volume knob is a good feature for this unit as well.
