Octave Deviders.

[danny-79]

Same style thred as ive just put up but about octave deviders this time.
As before i picked this up on fleebay pretty cheep , im happy with it in every sence but my findings are that its very limited (theres only a couple of setting on it that i find work nicely i.e theres a very fine line between getting a nice sound out of it an mushy noise??)
so again ... same question... who uses what
much thanx again Dan..

I'm using the old faithful Boss OC-2. It's usable but not without it's quirks. Aside from the obvious wiggle on forced notes, it's got a distorted synth sound that you either love or hate. It certainly doesn't sound like the note you play only an octave lower, but still - it has it's charm.

Yeah I'm using an OC-2 too. It does one sound, fortunately I really like that one sound.

I have an OC-2 and that style Octave Multiplexer. Both are very different even though they're meant to do the same thing

[danny-79]

Thanx to everybody for replys, was just looking at the "E.B.S, octabass" (the later version) anybody had any dealings with one of theses? ta.

I use one of the early EBS Octabass pedals and think it's really cool.
Used it for years and not had any problems with it-and I like the sound.

I'm using an old DOD octoplus - which i absolutely adore! , although i've had experience of the OC2, MXR BOD, MXR bass octave and, Digitech BSW.
I'm liking the sound of the BOD, and keen to hear samples of the aguilar octamizer.

I use the EBS Octabass, I think it's the modern one.. (with the three way switch Lo, Mid, Hi settings....) excellent pedal!
really delivers.... & stays stable even on lower notes....

+1 for the EBS,

This is the one that always comes out with me. great tracking and warm tone, in a bomb proof box.

I also use a Micro POG, This is a digital octaver therefore the tracking is perfect even on a low E. Not as warm as the EBS though. I tend to use the POG for the octave up and the EBS for Octave down.

That is the problem that im finding with the EH, get a great sound from it on higher notes, very full, bold, etc but it makes the E string vitutualy unusable

[ahpook]

i use a pearl oc-07 octaver (1 or 2 down and one kind of octave up fuzz)

tracks down to C...i like it - i use it with the techno band i play with - it's great for the breakdowns and drops.
