#Octave deluxe full#

The only complaint that I have is that when using the 'growl' octave on full, with nothing else mixed in, the signal level is a bit quieter than the input signal level, so you get a bit of a drop in volume. If you are dealing with a busy mix, there is a 'mid boost' switch that can be engaged, it will affect the input signal only, making it cut through pretty handy sometimes. The octave sound is very responsive to the way that you play, both in volume and tone, really wonderful.

full on 'growl' with zero original/'girth' gives you that cool 'fake' synth sound, kind of like the famous boss OC2 adding just a tiny bit of 'girth' to fatten up the high notes on the neck, so more of a tone effect than an octave you get a super 'hi-fi' octave sound using 'girth' and original signal only, both at 2 o'clock The 'growl' octave is a very synth-like in your face sound. The 'girth' octave is more of a sub-bass sound. The two very different sub-octave tones can be finely balanced with the input signal, which provides a huge palette of possible sounds. The lower octave delivery is good, every individual note you play will sound like you're mashing the same note on all four strings at once.ДЇirst time plugging it in, I was surprised by how punchy the sound is, really natural sounding and responsive!

If you get this pedal though, there is no need for bass chords.

If you want something that does track bass chords, going digital is the only avenue for that. This is ideal for playing stoner rock groove riffs past the 12th fret on any string, almost sounds like a church organ. Crank up the girth, play an E on your G string and it pretty much sounds like your playing your lower E. It fills out the notes so much, really fattens them out. It's the girth dial that gives this pedal its wallop. I have the dry and the growl dialed in just above 12. There's an excellent mid+ switch on it that helps with the definition of the octave on the lower register notes and it definitely adds a brighter sound to mid range register octaves. I have mine in my chain straight after my compressor to help with the tracking issues and my EQ after it, the sound is massive and that's even before you start dialing in your preferred settings on the pedal. The tracking is great, anything lower than drop D it starts losing it a bit but it sounds amazing on anything on frequencies higher that that. This pedal is really great for providing a lower octave to what you're playing.
