Really impressed with this pedal. I’m using in bass and it really fattens up the tone, especially with the fifth option (cool stacked with a fuzz pedal for synth-like guitar power chords).

Tried a couple of octaver (TC brainwave, Zoom, new Boss one, Ampeg harmonic thing, ehx mono synth blue) and I really like how it has that sound that is closer to an octaver (that square wave thing) but without the latency and poly. Works well on bass and guitar not problem, I use on +1 it in many song where we are missing a guitar or just to make stage rumbling low octave with -1. I want to point out that the lower octave on bass sounding good depends on your amp + eq a lot which I think is just how physics works. It runs on daisy chain with the rest of my board (all analog) with no problems. The jacks are strangely strong, you need to push cable but whatever.

Eccezionale,

Amazing pedal!

It took me a few days to get used to this pedal. The octave pedal on my board before this one was an EHX Multiplexer. As a bass player, I was looking to be able get the sub octave sound I was used to with the Multiplexer and also have the added bonus of adding octave up sounds and/or fifths as needed. Out-of-the-box, my first impression left me worried that I would not be able to dial in the same 'Pino Palladino' sound that I was able to get out of the Multiplexer.

After a few days tweaking knobs, I've discovered that the bottom line with this pedal is that you usually have to adjust at least 2 (sometimes all 4) of the knobs to get each sound that you're looking for. That being said, I'm really glad I didn't return the pedal after the first day. Although it's taken some time, I can now reliably (and quickly) dial in the 'Pino' sound using the sub octave, an 8-string bass sound using the octave up and kind of a cool 'organ' sound by blending in the fifth.

If you are bassist, looking for an octave pedal that can provide both sub octave and octave up sounds, I would definitely recommend it. It tracks extremely well and the tones it generates aren't too 'synthy' (which could be good or bad depending on the tone you're after). Build quality is excellent. While it seems to respond equally well to both passive and active electronics, I found with my active basses, I had to be careful not to set levels too high - doing so produced some distortion.
