dannybuoy Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I think the deluxe is a totally different circuit rather than just a standard one with extra bells and whistles. It has 2 different octave sounds that you can blend together, a clean one similar to the EBS Octabass and a synthier growlier one similar to the Boss OC-2. It also has a mid boost switch to make it easier to hear the effect in a dense mix. I'm not 100% but I expect the tracking is probably also be better on the deluxe. If you want a cheap basic octaver then the standard one will do you, but personally I'd go for the deluxe (or the Aguilar Octamizer).

BTGAndy Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 The tracking is ace on the deluxe octave pedal, best octaver I've ever used, tracks well down to a low B! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At high enough volume that must be bordering on bowel-churning territory, surely? (Anyway, I'm perfectly happy with a good old dodgy yet charming OC-2 thankyouverymuch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumple Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I have tried a few octavers and now have an MXR Octave Deluxe and it's by far the best, I can't get mine to track as low as BTGAndy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTGAndy Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Odd that, mine rumbles away happily on the low B of my Overwater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
