1976fenderhead Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Would like a simple octave-up pedal (no mix with dry sound needed), I know these always sound a bit weird but it's going into a fuzz so no big deal... I suppose the whammy is the best? Anything compact that leaves the wet sound only and tracks well on bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I used to use the Akai Unibass, it does octave up with two outputs, one for dry and one for wet, or you can mix them out of one output, you can also add a fifth etc and distortion for faux power chords on the octave up, it tracked quite well but got a little confused up the dusty end. With the dry into my bass rig and the wet into a guitar amp it was awesome for massive Sabbath-esque riffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976fenderhead Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 I'm interested in the Mooer Pitch Box but I hear the notes come out a bit warbly... What about the Boss pedals or the Behringer clones, are they more 'steady'? Anyone has any experience with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 MicroPOG Awesome thing. Best tracking of any octave pedal, up or down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazWills Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 microPOG tracks best for sure, but very digital sounding, which is fine if that's what you want... pearl octaver for analog octave up I'd say... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessy Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Behringer US600 does a fine octave up (amongst loads of other features). Tracks very well (in all modes in my experience); as with seemingly all Behringers it sound practically identical to the pedal its cloned from (Boss PS-5). Digital sounding (especially 100% wet), but works great with distortion in front of it. IMO they're nowhere near as flaky build quality wise as they're made out to be, and can be had for about £30. Or just get a guitar, play everything up one octave... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I use octave-up on both a Zoom B3 and Zoom MS60-B (the Mono Shift patch). Both seem quite reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
