aj5string Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 My octave pedal is on the bay for anyone interested? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320153945504&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=011"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...E:IT&ih=011[/url] I've gone back to a multi unit, and haven't really used this since. Its a good pedal, a blatant rip off of the Boss OC-3, and exactly the same as the GLX pedals... Would be interested in trades - so let me know what you've got... Cheers! Alex.
joegarcia Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Hows the tracking on the lower strings? Don't suppose it can handle Low D can it?

There was one riff that i used it for that included a G (3rd fret on E string) that it tracked nicely on. I had issues to start with, but didn't realise that it could do 2 octaves below - if you totally get rid of the second octave (when playing lower notes), and just have the note below your starting not it works well... not sure how it would handle a low D tho... Alex.

Maybe you should buy this one and try it

grosa Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 wonder what a chapman stick would sound like through one
