JuliusGroove Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hello.. I need (want) an octave pedal! What I really want is something with a nice rounded sub sound but also interested in one that has the option to go up the octave aswell? I remember a guy telling me Pino had one for the stuff with Paul Young.. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Iirc pino used an oc2 on the paul young stuff. Doesn't do octave up though There aren't many that are capable of both octave up and down- pearl octave, pog and derivatives, octron. Can't think of any more ATM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 For simple one up & one down, the EHX Pog is probably fave around here. For setting a bit more 'musical', check out the Earthquaker Devices Organizer Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazWills Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 best analog up and down octaver for my money is a pearl octaver, if you can snag one on ebay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazWills Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I'm in the studio this week and been using a pearl octave into various fuzzes, synth bliss!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 If you want to go for the full Pino effect with chorus in there too, look no further than the Zoom MS-60B. The octaver effects are really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Hi Gaz, how do you find the tracking on the Pearl? Also how low does it go? Currently using an EBS which is alright, but fancy an octave up pedal myself, the Pearl OC-7 sounds interesting.

In fact do all Octavers work for either bass or guitar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 The Organizer works great on bass, in fact I actually think it's better voiced for bass. Because it can go two octaves up, I find that too much on guitar, whereas on bass it has a really nice quality. The down octave is great, although much less synthy and subby than the OC-2 for example. Check my Organizer bass demo here: [url="http://soundcloud.com/simonpoulton/earthquaker-devices-organizer"]http://soundcloud.com/simonpoulton/earthquaker-devices-organizer[/url] Another simple and great sounding Octave is the DOD Ocotoplus, usually can be picked up real cheap, however just does one octave down. I think down octaves often track better on bass as they tend to require a rounder, fatter tone going into them to tracks. Up octaves I have experimented with less, however my experience suggests that there is no difference in how they track with bass compared to guitar.

Cheers Nick [/quote] hi Nick to be honest, they were parts I had been playing before with an OC-2, so I had tailored the lines to the tracking of the OC-2. Didn't have the time to sit down with the pedal and explore that much... but I think bettern than an OC-2. Held notes were not glitching nearly as quickly as with the BOSS.

Bigwan Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 The pearl and oc2 circuits are very, VERY similar. VERY, VERY similar... Except for the added octave up on the Pearl of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 For 'everyday' playing my vote goes to the Aguilar Octamizer. It tracks really well and I don't have to play anywhere near as precisely as on other octave pedals I've had. For gigging purposes I find this make it much more usable than anything else I've tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
