    • A worthy EBS Octabass replacement
Color: Blue Sparkle
I have an EBS Octabass that I use extensively live but the pedal just wouldn't track low or sustain very well so after some research, I found a lot of positive reviews on the MXR M288 Bass Octave Deluxe. I A/B'd both before giving the MXR the seat on my board and have to say the pedal does everything it should be doing. It tracks fast, long and low while having a more "square wave" tone than the Octabass which was more of a "sine wave." This is especially noticeable when none of the bass's dry signal is added. You get this square Moogish, synthy sound that's very usable when coupled with an envelope filter, distortion and other fx. Build quality wise the MXR is decent but the EBS Octabass still wins and it is a good pedal, just not as good at tracking as the MXR. ... show more

    • Great pedal
Color: Blue Sparkle
I used an OC-2 for many years. The mid boost finally convinced me to pull the trigger on this one. I tried this out at a gig, and I was more than happy. My coomplaint with the OC-2 is that it always seemed like there was a volume cut no matter how I set the pedal, this one has almost more Octave than I needed. I have had the EH Ocatve Multiplexer, the MXR octave, the Boss Super Octave, and this one gets closest to the tonal profile of the OC-2. It felt and responded like the OC-2, and I can’t say enough about the adjustable gain and mid boost. You could almost just use this as a mid boost pedal. It fits exactly a Boss pedal space, although the input jack is slightly lower than a Boss. The ac Jack is right next to the input jack which is a little wierd, but I guess they are trying to make all of the things sticking out of the box in one spot. I never thought I would retire my OC-2, but the time has finally come. The order I ran this was Bass, MXR, Slow Engine, Mid Boost pedal, tuner. ... show more

    • Why does everyone buy the Boss Octave?
Color: Blue Sparkle
I recently switched from the Aguilar octave to this tank. I play a passive schecter and noticed it was a bit glitchy after Ab on the E string and didnt seem to track at all after that (it kind of guesses what note your playing and jumps around). So i started my research...Youll want this pedal as close to your original signal as possible and preferably right after a compressor (such as the MXR M87) and it has less problems. As with all basses you have a Dead Zone so between the 5th and 7th-9th frets youll have some complications that again are corrected with a compressor. This is not isolated to this pedal, I have played many octave pedals and they all have the same problem...I repeat this is not a complication of the pedal merely the effect. Many bass players i know have the Boss Octave...That thing cant track anything lower than the 9th fret...I tried 6weeks on different configurations and order and could get a TRUE octave...Playing it through a computer shows that the pedal was, at more than half the notes, jumping half steps from your dry signal...now as i jumped to 12th fret it was tracking perfectly...but so would any pedal... I am not %100 satisfied with the pedal...for the price i would like better tracking...but its a solid build, hasnt failed me yet and the Mid boost is amazing almost creating a Third voice...almost. The mid boost can be altered by removing the back of the pedal to matching your playing styles (BTW the mid boost dosent help the pedal track any better). Love the pedal...but chain order is vital to an octave pedal for a true track. ... show more

    • There is no equal to this pedal, get it

If you put this right at the front of your signal chain, tweaking just enough "growl" (9:00) and very little "girth" (7:00); you can max out the dry signal to the rest of your chain and it adds a spectacular dimension. That's not even the traditional application for an "Octave pedal" which this thing can do just fine, but I keep this on 100% of the time like that. In the configuration above, there is another dimension to the tone altogether. A shadow, really. Also, if you strike the lowest notes on a 5 or 6 string bass, it produces a guttural growl that resembles a bass drop or even synth (underneath the existing notes). The highs respond well with almost a cross-over relationship due to a completely different type of sound. Each note has a slightly lower, evil twin in the background. ... show more

    • Excellent octave pedal
Color: Blue Sparkle
I'm a guitarist who wanted an octave pedal in my studio to knock out quick, faux-bass parts while putting songs together, and this thing a ton better than the Boss pedal. Durable and great sound.

    • Great for a cappella!
Color: Blue Sparkle
Just received this pedal and I am quite pleased with it - I'm using it for singing and beatboxing, not so much for instruments. The octave is clear, tracks well, and the option to make the mid pop is very nice (MID+ button on the top right). Takes a 9VDC power supply or 9V battery, but neither are included. Especially useful for beatboxing - the mids/highs stay untouched while the lows get an extra punch... and the extra bass power allows for low natural bass rather than needing to use throat bass. Would recommend. ... show more

    • Standard MXR, it's a great pedal
Color: Blue Sparkle
I really enjoy the flexibility of being able to add those actives and sub octaves, check out any demo on YouTube and you'll see that this pedal is exactly what they say it is

    • Good Solid Bass Pedal
Color: Blue Sparkle
This does what it alleges it should. It's sturdy and reliable. I purchased it as a gift for a young bass player that I know in the hope that it'll inspire her to do some more experimental stuff. It's a good creative tool, though if one is going to "do" effects, I expect this is only one of a full-featured pedalboard. ... show more
