Octave Pedals (1 Viewer)

[Alan Remorse]

So following on from my beefy distortion thread (i'm going for the 2nd cab option by the way), someone suggested an octave pedal might be of use.

So yeah, anyone have any suggestions? I've never used one in my life.

The Pog is supposed to be fantastic. Expensive but.

I'm quite fond of my whammy.

I have a boss octave pedal and love it. Only really useable when playing single notes and not chords. I didn't really read the beefy distortion thread so I don't know how it would work out for you.

I have a Boss OC-3. It's got a 1 oct and 2 oct drop. And also a distorted 1 oct drop which is freakin amazin. I bought this in the hope of, well, beefing up my guitar sound a bit. It does that, but there no way you can use it for chords. It's strictly a 1-string at a time effect. It's advertised as polyphonic, but anything after 2-notes the signal starts getting really weird and jumbled.
I remember Sean from the Ghostwoods had an Ibanez 7thHeaven pedal (maybe?) which had a low end the size of a barn. It was huge! I thinks it's designed for 7-string guitars or summat, so it really caters for the beef quotient

I think you just need to play through a proper big tube amp & cab. Your'e trying to get beefy distorsion from a clean channel roland combo and a tubescreamer. Your amp is a vegetarian. Il bring the meat when im in cork next. It will be a meaty beef feast.

i have

and

At the moment the boss one is my favourite cos I know how to work it and have it a year or two now, the blue box is fairly new, got it as a christmas present so I'm just getting to grips with it as it is a fuzz/octave down pedal.The boss one is amazing for just blasting the shit out and fairly decently priced too.

the micro pog runs at about €200 i think. it can handle chords supposedly.

the blue box is a mad man. only useful for freak outs and weird synthy sounds. its a quiet pedal too.

It works quite well in our band cos we are quite synthy but you really gotta beef up the sound with a big muff or another loud overdrive pedal.I really haven't given it the time it needs yet..

Totally. I bought a Marshall jcm800 4211 nearly 3 years ago. It's a 2x12 all tube amp. I use the pre-amp overdrive and it sounds big just by it's self.

Well I'm not going to be using it the whole way through in an effort to replace bass.
I just think that there are a couple of parts in our songs that'd sound pretty cool with an octave down effect on them. Get off my case Tom!
