    Octave pedal that goes up well ....

    Well, I read a bunch of reviews on ALL of the ones mentioned. Then I got the Boss OC, and was disappointed. Not in the pedal, which I'm sure is fine. I was disappointed in my lack of understanding of what I need. So I'm trying again, and maybe what I need is just better settings on my EQ...

    Octave pedal that goes up well ....

    For -1, I'd like to be able to hit the low D, and then quickly turn it off. For +1, I'd like to hit some of the notes that I can't reach on a short scale. Hope that makes sense. thank you!

    not fuzz. I'm a standard, stoic, keepin-the-rhythm-kinda basic bassist

    Octave pedal that goes up well ....

    I play a short scale, and would love to find an octave pedal that has decent sound in the upper register. Most go down 1-2 octaves, and I don't need that. I need something to go an octave (or 2?) above. Any recommendations? Gracias!

    You guys are awesome! Thank you so much! I'm leaning toward the Acinonyx vs the Sandberg. Richie at Sweetwater is also doing a search for me. Thank you all!

    I am an average player; fortunate enough to play weekly (or weakly :laugh:). Classic rock and blues. My Schecter banshee short scale is too heavy for my arthritic shoulders. Looking for something similar, but lighter. Any ideas? My budget is around $1500 (US), if that helps. Thank you for...

    New Schecter Short-Scale Banshee bass

    I’m loving my Banshee! Looking for a hard shell case that isn’t too big. Any recommendations for a case for a SS?
