Analog effect pedal for guitar.
Its goal is to overlay the sound of the same instrument reproduced sound one octave and / or two octaves below.

UTILIZATION

It can not be simpler. 3 knobs: direct sound, the one octave below, the two octaves below.

SOUND QUALITY

The octave -1 is not bad. The octave -2 is unusable unless player: from a note extends a little, there is a risk that the note octaviée completely delirious, and all the more so as it is still serious.
So this pedal was sold to, somehow, get the sound of a bass with a guitar. In theory. In practice it only works with short notes, and should not get too low, and ... I made you short, it's a scam.

OVERALL OPINION

I've used it occasionally for ten years, and then I bought a pedal containing among other effects a stable and rich in opportunities pitch shifter (we have access to the octave above and the from below, and not to his two octaves below that proves to be unusable).
Note that when I got the offer OC2 (which was worth between 500 and 600F), there was a Boss Pitch Shift digital ticket that was worth a thousand.
