Super cool pedal from Broughton Audio in Canada (Azureskies on Talkbass).

You have a volume for your clean signal, a synth signal at the same frequency as your input signal and then a sub-octave signal, which you can blend to your heart's content.

Then you also have a filter knob for each channel, which can drastically change the tone of each individual signal from superbright with lots of harmonics to super-subby and deep.

It's a very nice sounding pedal that I only recently purchased, but unfortunately it appears to be unnecessary in my set-up.

New incl. Import costs etc. +-€300.

As an extra, you also get 3 boutique patch cables from Providence at a value of €23 each (so €69 in total for funky looking patch cables with gold plugs).

Website blurb:

The Synth Voice is an original analog octaver that has extraordinary tracking, huge headroom, and heavy-hitting synthesized tones. This Deluxe model improves upon the original by increasing sustain, as well as adding active filters to shape the tone of each voice.

The Synth Voice Deluxe detects your input signal frequency and generates a synthesized tone at the same fundamental frequency. The volume of this signal is controlled by the SYNTH knob. The synth signal is perfect for adding heft to your clean signal, or changing your clean signal to a completely different voice.

The synth tone is used to create the sub signal one octave below the fundamental frequency. The volume of this signal is controlled by the SUB knob. The tone of this signal is fat and bassy, compared to the typical glitchy video game sounding tones you tend to get from other octave pedals.

Mixing in your input signal with the CLEAN knob, you can beef up your regular tone, add a sub octave for extra low end, or cut out your clean signal entirely, creating a completely synthesized signal.

The filter knobs cut high frequency content from their respective clean, synth, and sub signals. These controls are reminiscent of a filter knob on a synthesizer. At higher filter settings, the synth and sub become a pure tone, similar to a sine wave. Reducing the filter adds harmonics, creating more of a square wave tone.

The pedal requires a 9V DC power supply (not included). The DC supply should be a standard Boss style connector, center negative polarity. The current draw is approximately 50 mA.

The Synth Voice Deluxe uses a soft touch stomp switch to actuate a relay, providing true bypass operation.

Dimensions: 4.77" long x 3.6" wide

The user can define whether the pedal defaults to bypassed or unbypassed upon power-up. Unplug the power from the pedal, hold down the footswitch, and then apply power. This toggles the default power-up state.
