I tried using the +1 octave option and putting distortion on it but just sounds like a synth. I'm using the built in octave pedal and distortion on the boss katana bass amp(a modelling amp). I'm asking this because I'm trying to get that royal blood/ death from above sound.
Not really because it matters much, as I am extremely satisfied with my TC Electronic Sub'N'Up Mini for adding an always on 1 octave up to my bass signal, giving me an effect somewhat similar to that of an 8 string bass, using a custom made toneprint, based on the "Poly Default" template.
But...
