Jonathan Bee Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 How is the octave up on this? I currently use the micro pog circuit built into the EHX Epitome but wondering whether I could replace this and my M9 with the HX? The octave up on the M9 is not contender!

Al Krow Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Hey JB, it's pretty good. Although using the same patch set at - 12 rather than +12, I prefer the octave down on the Helix, probably because the small amount of latency is more noticeable on octave up. It is a little tinny and my Digitech Mosaic is an improvement (it's really very good!), but that's a single effect dedicated box. But if you're after a truly authentic, latency free octave up, then there is only one solution - an 8 string bass! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) @Jonathan Bee Managed to get my little Lekato looper set up and running this week which btw is a massive improvement on the Helix (and Zoom) looper! Here's a few promised clips demoing the Helix octave up, and A/B with the Digitech Mosaic, which I think you'll agree is better still.

Octave up - Helix & Mosaic.zip 10.92 MB · 2 downloads Thanks so much @Al Krow 🙂 Very generous and thorough of you! I agree the mosaic sounds better on single lines, but on chords I thought it sounded a bit muddy, where as the Helix sounded bright and clear... with a bit of reverb and eq or filtering could sound sweet I reckon. For single lines I prefer the sound of the micropog so far. I don't think I'll be departing from it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Bee Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 ps I love the sound of the pog in this at 6.15! The whole piece is great, and his bass sound and the joy he puts into his playing is lush 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
