    Demystifying Octave Pedal Terms + Recs

    @arepa_funk Ayy sick thanks, different show but looks like everything is the same. I guess it was an OC-2 after all. Do you think it makes a difference that it’s an older model OC-2 that says “Octaver” instead of “Octave”? Prob doesn’t matter lmao but

    Demystifying Octave Pedal Terms + Recs

    @sloppy_phil, @RichSnyder, @sunbeast, @HelpImaRock: What kind of effects do you think Pino is using here? I know he’s using an octave pedal, maybe an analog one? I know he’s used the OC-2 and MXR BOD before. But what else? Maybe a Compressor, Envelope Phaser, Drive, Fuzz? I understand a lot is...

    And if you put dry all the way off you’ll just have the octave?

    So dry universally means the original tone(s)/notes being played?

    Demystifying Octave Pedal Terms + Recs

    @sunbeast Thanks that makes a lot of sense. Anybody care to explain how to balance the blend of how much you’re hearing the original note and how much you’re hearing the new lower octave? Is this just the “DRY” knob? I’ve heard terms like wet and dry used around this. I ask because I think it’s...

    @GMC Ohhh. That blend explanation helps a lot… so fully wet (aka dry turned off) means you would just be hearing the new down octave from the octave pedal? And more dry means you’re still hearing the original note being played? I was confused because sometimes I hear it like you said get turned...

    Demystifying Octave Pedal Terms + Recs

    i Interesting, thanks @RichSnyder. I’ve heard the OC-2 and OC-3 in comparison and they sound similar enough, even if the OC-2 does sound better. However can a pedal like the OC-3 be considered analog if it has polyphonic and monophonic modes? Doesn’t it also have octave up which wouldn’t...

    Demystifying Octave Pedal Terms + Recs

    Thank you @sloppy_phil that’s all very helpful! It was my understanding that analog pedals (Boss OC-2, MXR BOD, Foxrox Octron) give a warmer, truer bass sound at the but are often worse at tracking and suffer with rough technique but digital pedals have flawless, accurate, and user-friendly...

    Demystifying Octave Pedal Terms + Recs

    Hi everyone, I’ve been playing bass for a good while now but have never really delved into pedals until recently. I’ve done some research and was hoping someone could connect the dots for these terms that keep popping up around octave pedals: Polyphonic, Monophonic, Analog, Digital The “best”...
