It is an octave bass pedal to non rackable format. No editing is possible as analog.
Conventional connectors, input and output jack size and the power supply by 9V.
I have the second version of this model, with the central cursor 3 positions but without the True Bypass.

UTILIZATION

For configuration, two knobs. The first "Normal" that manages the volume of the mixture its natural / octave, and the second "Octave" which adjusts the dosage effect.
In the center a cursor positions 3, "High", "Mid" and "Low" that manages fréquances the octave generated.
Everyone will pay for his taste.
What the manual in English, is brief but provided essentially some basic settings and the specificity of each knob.

SOUND QUALITY

The desired effect is there, still a few stalls are present if left too last note.
This small issue aside, the sound gains in size. We win hugely depth while keeping audible and defined notes.
But be careful, I think good cabs are required to have a good record, if you type in the sub, HP 12 seem to be the bare minimum.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 weeks now and I'm not ready to part with. I ssay the same type of effect via a zoom all-in-one, but much less good quality.
These strengths are undoubtedly robustness (Metal housing made in Sweden by EBS), the multiplicity of settings depending on the instrument played, rendering that adds a new dimension to your sound.
Weaknesses, certainly the lack of access to the battery, as unscrewing the base is necessary for accession. The few stalls on notes too long.
The price / quality ratio is still very good for such a product. Manufacturing quality and sound reproduction makes a great product.
