OC-3 Question

[paniak17]

Can this effect go an octave up? it doesnt mention it, it only says down. im not sure. here's a link to the site.

EDIT : how does playing more than one note sound on it? i heard octavers mess up when multiple notes are played at the same time. what about this unit?

Nope, it only goes an octave down (2 in OC-2 mode). And the polyphonic setting actually works quite well with double-stops.

thanks for the reply. do you know of any other octaver out there that can go at least up one octave and handles more than one note well, and in the 150 and under price range. thanks.

any links?

Seriously, the only octave up I respected was the expensively discontinued Akai Unibass.

I have clips of it at: http://runbeerrun2.tripod.com

Octave ups always sound like organs.

have you tried the digitech whammy? i think im gonna ebay it up for some in my price range.


EDIT : how about this one?

and can i take the distortion out of it?

I tried it, it works perfectly for bass. The only two settings that are pretty bad are the two octaves down setting and the dive-bomb setting. Simply because most cabinets can't handle notes that low.

I'll get one to fool around with one day.

does it handle chording well?
