This pedal is in perfect condition, only used a few times. Asking $100 OBO.
Manufacturer's Description
The BASS OCTAVE DELUXE actually features two separate sub octave circuits in one pedal that can be mixed together or used individually for a variety of sonic options.
The "Girth" circuit can be described as a low octave that is voiced with a smooth and deep character whereas the "Growl" circuit creates a voice that contains a greater variety of harmonic overtones, resulting in a low octave that has a more throaty, "snarl" or "grit" to its sound.
The "Dry" control knob allows the user to dial in the amount of unaffected incoming signal from the instrument, with fully counter-clockwise resulting in only the octave effect being heard to fully clockwise which provides all of the dry signal to be heard along with the sub octave.
The midrange button ("MID+") when engaged provides for up to +14db of internally adjustable mid frequencies to your incoming "dry" signal. Users can select either 400hz (factory setting) or 850hz to be boosted, the modification being easily performed by way of a switch found inside the pedal.
Also not visible on the face of the pedal but equally important to note is the proprietary Constant Headroom Technology (CHT) that is in the design of MXR Bass Innovations pedals. The CHT provides for high headroom and superior tracking which effectively addresses two previous weak spots that have plagued older analog octave pedals in the past.
