Octave up?

[Flatwound]

There are plenty of pedals that will give lower notes, right? I'd like one that will give me a note an octave higher than what I'm playing.

I think an Akai Unibass would do that (among other things), but they're a bit hard to find. Any others?

I am pretty shure that the prescription electronics Clean Octave Blend (COB) does this... I really want a octave up, but I missed out on the last batch of $99 Unibass pedals at musicans friend... And I don't want to pay how much they are going for now...

The new Boss multi effects does as well. MEB-50??? or something like that

Me -50B. I just imported one to the Uk from the States. The Octaver is good, tracks well and you can go two octaves above, not just one.

A very good allrounder

Yeah, the ME-50B does it. Boss also do a pitch shifter pedal, PS-5, which can do octave up.

The Electro Harmonix Micro Synthesizer does octave up AND down.

You can mix them together with the straight signal plus a "square wave" (fuzz sound but with no added sustain) in any amount.

Killing the straight signal altogether and leaving only the two octave signals is pretty trippy sounding.

I believe the newer EBS pedal has that feature.

 

[Tecx]

Really?.. Man I have to here the new octabass!!!

I believe the newer EBS pedal has that feature.

Check out EBS site before you get too excited. I have older one that does not offer it. I believe there is a three way switch on the new one.

Give my love to Oromocto

HUUU?... How do you know Oromocto?????

.

Good catch,but the EHX Bass MicroSynth adds distortion which you may or may not want, I always forget that it does the upper octave.

The three way switch on the newer octabass only relates to the eq on the octaved signal, so 'high' gives you more clarity rather than a +12 signal on top of yours. Unless ebs have revamped the octabass pedal within the last few months...

I've owned a Bass Whammy, Akai Uni-Bass, and Zoom 607 pedals at one time or another.

All did the Octave Up in some way.
The Best is the Uni-Bass. Totally flawless tracking down to low A (below low B string). You can add various amounts of distortion to the Octave note only (so it sounds like a guitar doubling you), Has settings (footswitchable) to add a 5th up or a 4th down to the octave note for guitar power chords with your bass note, and possibly the best feature, an optional output to run just the upper note (notes) to a separate amp or effects or whatever.

The Whammy tracked well but sounded cheezy/weak.

The 607 tracking was less effective and the upper note, though tunable, never sounded completely "in-tune".

 

[Mud Flaps]

The EBS OctiBass Pedal (I think that's what it's called) does it.

The EBS OctiBass Pedal (I think that's what it's called) does it.

This is the second claim for the EBS. Can anyone else confirm this? I had one a couple years back and it had no such feature.

If it is true, does it now track all the way through the bass's range (like the others I mentioned), or does it still start to crap out in the D-C range (A string) like most "Octaver Pedals"?

the Boss ps-5 Super Shifter can go two octaves down, two octaves above, as well as intervals in between.

As mentioned before this pedal only produces an Octave down, the three way switch gives three options for the tone of the octave, high mid and low.

Hope that helps

Yes, but the high,mid,and low refers to the tone on the octaved signal underneath.

The EBS Octabass pedal DOES NOT produce an octave above signal. I've owned one (twice!)

True,
The Octabass does not produce anything but an octave down.
The switch is simply to change the tone of the effect note, not what octave it reproduces.

That's what sshorepunk just said in his post you're quoting.
