MXR M88 Bass Octave

Pedal to add an octave to your sound in MXR.
The octave used by the bassist of Limp Bizkit. So priori a good pedal.

UTILIZATION

Gnrale configuration is simple, even very simple.
and for this type of effect, I must say that we demand no more.
2 knobs:
* A dry rgler which allows the dose of your original sound untreated,
* A knob "octave" that RULES dose octave will add your sound.
You can mix the two you like, for example in privilgier sound octave direct sound or the reverse.

The case is very strong. He inspires confidence. Stronger as the new MXR El Grande Bass Fuzz or octave Deluxe that are aluminum Lger.

Food is the most classic> An Ibanez or Boss 9v 200mA

SOUND QUALITY

This is the pedal that surprised me. The sound is really standard. You should know that this is a fairly typ Octaver.
Your sound becomes pais, very infra, and mixes very well with the signal Dry.
Playing much in the treble, I tended to lose frquences serious. With this pedal, I can keep my game without losing low frequency drives.

I test the octave of Boss, who had not convinced the era, I found him cold and synthtique.
With the MXR, I found the warmth and thickness of sound I was looking for, without sacrificing precision.

Warning, this is not octave pedal polyharmonic is that it does not include agreements such as OC3, some double notes can pass but complex agreements tend dcrocher.
Furthermore, the notes below dcrochent very lightly after a few seconds, but this does not hinder to the extent I can not see the intrt an octave when playing very low notes dj.

In little time, go out the new Deluxe MXR Octave. but I confess that after seeing the first pieces carefully this pedal, I t very packed and the advertised price seems excessive.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several months already and do not regret my choice.
I enjoy its sound and its simplicity of use. I prefers to Boss models including grain does not please me, but may be it is a matter of taste, grain and his research.

She presents very difficult to find because it is no longer manufactured and will be replaced by Deluxe MXR Octave.
OCCAZ obtained from this pedal is a really good deal, I would do such a choice without hesitating.
