Kebabkid Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) Hi there, Before I go out and buy a separate Octaver, I just wondered if anyone had any decent Octave settings for the B3 (older unit)? Maybe something closer to a Boss OC-2 or preferably, a EBS Octabass, as it would be nice to get everything from the one unit. I think the Octaver is probably their weakest effect in an otherwise great unit. I've tried mucking about with the mono pitch and harmonist fx, too, but I can't find anything that great. It's a shame as that first Zoom shoulder strap unit had a very good octaver. Thanks Edited May 17, 2018 by Kebabkid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Hi there I also found the octaver in the B1on rather poor. Shame, because it’s my go-to travel companion. In actual fact I ended up getting it to work much better than default by adjusting the ‘tone’ setting I think down to zero. I initially ignored it, thinking it would work like a normal tone control but actually it changes the character of the sound in a strange way, it sort of seems to add distortion as you turn it clockwise. In any event, with tone at zero, it sounded much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I think the pitch shifter is better than the octaver. Give that a try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kebabkid Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 Thanks guys and I will give this a go. There still seems to be a lot of love for these units and it's my spare amp rig (DI out) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
