fraff Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hello folks I'm looking at running an octave pedal on one loop of my LS2 whilst the other loop creates crazy synthy fuzz from my shiny new Subdecay Noise Box (cheers Shep). Currently using the octave setting on my BSW for this, but this obviously adds a synthy tone - and I've got plenty of synth from the noise box! So, a straightforward brief - fairly 'clean' sounding octave down pedal, octave up a bonus, blend also a bonus but far from essential, budget up to say £40-£50 secondhand. Any tips? Thanks!!

dudewheresmybass Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 The leading candidates will be the mxr as mentioned above- although I wouldn't describe it as clean per se, more growly. The ebs - new around £100 so s/h should be £60-£70. less growly than the mxr, and what I would call clean The dod octoplus- highly underrated pedal. The only octave I have found that gives you a tone control for the effected octave. Should be found for around £40 ish. Hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I thought the BSW did a fairly clean octave tone, you just have to roll all the synth sound off. I can't remember which control it is but it has to be all the way anti-clockwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thanks for the octave tips above - will follow up if the BSW doesn't come up trumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Get an OC-2, job done. Want Octave up as well, you're talking more monies, but check out the Earthquaker Devices Organizer, LOVE that pedal, much more musical than the POG IMO Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffo Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'm in the same boat, has anyone tried the Behringer super octaver or ultra octaver and at £30 - £45 depending on what one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbandit599 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 +1 for the Digitech BSW with sens and range rolled right off (to the left) and control at 12 o'clock. I use a few of the other settings too, but find that I just need to change the type setting to get what I need from these with the sens and range still flat.So the clean octave sound is always there when needed.

tonyquipment Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Cheap and cheerful behringer pedals will do it. The ultra octave or something If it breaks, buy another one ! Cheep as chips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alstocko Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) OC-2, OC-2, OC-2!!! POG if you want organ up, or octave up as well. The OC-2 does everything that I could want in an octave! I got my Japanese one off eBay for around £50 around November 2011 Edited January 26, 2013 by alstocko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnDeereJack Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Another +1 for OC-2. Failing that, try the MXR octave pedal. Have also heard good things about Aguilar Octimizer but have never used one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protium Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I wouldn't say the OC-2 is a clean octave, especially if you're trying to get away from the synthy sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
