Octave with different modes to transpose 1 and / or 2 octaves "below" and to possibly add fuzz.
1 guitar input jack on
1 low input jack on
1 out wet (the Treaty) "output"
1 dry output (gross) "live out"
The "output" mixes two signals if connected only.
UTILIZATION
Nothing complicated about this pedal. I speak here as a single mode because it is the only one I use, one that allows you to play one octave down to a selected note. Since no bassist in a group of acoustic reggae, I had to play the bass and rhythm at the same time (the principle is somewhat similar but fingerpicking "backwards"). The problem Octavers "classic" is that they act on all the notes you play, the more serious the more acute where oc3 can act only on the bass. I explained, in my case I do not need the effect to fa (D string 3rd box) to allow me to keep clean and clear agreements without the effect of the 3 octave strings acute. I rule the effect that acts only to this note.
SOUND QUALITY
Careful, this effect is not polyphonic. If you play two notes at the same time the result is a sound boiled uninteresting (although some styles of techno grindcore ...) so accuracy must play! The processed sound is not a constant volume, and it is hard on the lower notes to go by reducing the rating to "target" that we have set. To "flatten" all that I advocate a compressor output sound (in my case I use the 2 outputs). I used it for a milkbox dod which allows for relatively high compression ratio. Last black spot: the guitar used. I had to go to an electro "solid body" (lag keziah jones godin but works well) because the resonance of my electro TV reception surround sound (singing, percussion and vivas public; D ) for transposing an octave below ... you can imagine the bazard. With an electric guitar there's no problem.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 3 years now and it is what I need for my game While it has some flaws, but with a clean game, good compression and the right guitar I save the character of a bass each concert
and especially it gives our group a unique sound and the astonishment of the audience, "but there's no bass player in your group you use samples?" Nope, these are my fingers (and oc3!)
If we add to this the use of a jamman, you can imagine the possibilities.
