octave before distortion
I thought so as well. when put before the rat it sounds fat but for some reason the low octave gets a little lost, after the distortion the low octave stays pure and fat and sounds louder, this rat aint modded either, it turns into a beast. Thanks for the input will try it out again.
How does a clean octave down come out?
Surely if the fuzz is first, it's fuzzing up or signal then sending that through the octave which leaves you with a fuzzed octave down? Or am I missing something?
My lunchbox's not sellingness gave me that chance to streamline my headphone setup:
Was tempted to buy your lunchbox for a very similar setup but my calculations came up about 3 inches short of space
Ever tried a blue box or a buzz box? If so you'd know why someone would do this.
I have a blue box and I definitely know why someone would do it.
I'm just trying to figure out how... Because the way he described it sounds like the octave would also be fuzzed, although he says it's coming out clean.
I just realized that i havn't seen SpankyPants around here in a while... or am i just missing him?

and a VT is on the way.
Hopefully I can either buy a real pedalboard or build one soon so I can have more room and it dosent look like crap, seeing as I just cut a rubbermaid lid in half and put velcro on it

Ya. Its close on there for the setup I have now. I almost wish I'd bought the Serrano instead of the Super Chile for size, but the FAT mode just sounds too awesome to give up
He hasn't been around in a while I don't think
You might be surprised at how much better distortions sound thru it
I know I was

Better than all over the floor though

just pick up a black shelf from a hardware store along with some velcro and maybe some handles if you want to get fancy and bam, you have a pedalboard.
Octaver's like the OC-2 don't recreate your pitch and tone an octave down. They just play a synthesized note an octave lower which matches your pitch but it always sounds the same no matter what the bass tone going in. For example, if you run a squier p-bass and then a zon into an OC-2 with just the one octave down tone and no clean signal, they'll both sound the same through the pedal.
huh? this is confusing... i need to sit down and play around with fuzz before octave... i think i've only ever had my oc2 before my muff.
Yeah, always try them both ways around and see what you like best. My Supercollider fuzz obliterated everything going into it, making it hard to make out the octave if putting it before the fuzz; it all sounds mushed together that way. When putting the octave after, you can hear 2 separate sounds blended together, although it can be a bit more glitchy though.

daniel tulip: have you checked the minimum volume knob on the side of the volume pedal? It sometimes gets knocked meaning that there isn't a total cutoff
Its the FX mix on the MB. 100% is more like 99.5%
It 
tho, I actually don't mind it
After more experimenting the fuzz before the oc-2 doesnt effect the octave down, it does sound like a clean octave down, under the fuzz, doesnt get lost like it would before the fuzz. I also have it after the Digitech BSW and it beefs that up too.huh? this is confusing... i need to sit down and play around with fuzz before octave... i think i've only ever had my oc2 before my muff.
