Caf and his Ricky Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I've either dreamt this or I've maybe read it whilst lurking, but would just like to know for sure - is there a speaker size limit when using octaver pedals? I have a 4x10 cab so I'm assuming this will be OK when the octaver is stomped, or are you better off letting a 15" take the strain? Cheers.

Mr. Foxen Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Speaker diameter doesn't tell you much about the properties of the speaker. Most octavers don't make stuff much lower than a bass will. If they do, most speaker will make their dissatisfaction clear via the medium of flatulent sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 The lousy 1x10" Laney practice combo sitting behind me doesn't do my OC-2 justice, but my old Ashdown 410MAG-T did. And my current Schroeder1212L does. If your cab's got enough beef for a normal bass signal it'll do fine with an octaver. You might find all you can hear is the second harmonic if you play especially low, but if you find a cabinet that can deal with that you'll have a harder time finding an audience with ears good enough to appreciate it.
