steviedee Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) I very sparingly use octave and have on original OC-2 and an Octamizer but in an ever increasing urge to cram more stuff on my mini board I’ve bought one of these Sonicake Octavers, £25! How good or bad can it be https://www.sonicake.com/products/octave Edited October 23, 2022 by steviedee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japhet Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Sonicake has usually been pretty good stuff. Used to be Valeton and their OC2 clone was a cracking pedal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know Sonicake bought Valeton out a couple of years ago. The Valeton OC10 was a copy of the Boss OC2 and was a cracking pedal. Valeton had 2 lines of pedals; the Coral line were digital I believe and the Loft line were analogue Boss clones. I may well be wrong about that but that's how it appeared to me. I would imagine the Sonicake pedals are digital but you'd need to check that out for yourself. EDIT; Youtube clips say it's an anologue pedal (and it sounds pretty damn good too).

steviedee Posted October 23, 2022 Author Share Posted October 23, 2022 I heard some clips and it sounds great. Hopefully here in a day or so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franticsmurf Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 After reading the original posts I thought I'd try the Sonicake too. It's on the board and sounding good at home. I have yet to use it live but so far so good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestar Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I tried the Sonicake briefly at a rehearsal last night and my initial impression was very good. It was easy to slip into Dalek noises if the octave knobs were two high, but for a more subtle, and in the context of the stuff we were playing, more usable sound I had it set somewhere like this attached. First time I’ve used an octaver but seems a good deal for 27 quid and looks well made enough. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestar Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I have a brand new unboxed one of these to sell, which I’ll post in marketplace. I ordered two by mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
