AinsleyWalker Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Looking into getting a new octave pedal as the direct signal on my OC2 has gone and the Octave 1 often doesn't cut through by itself. Ideally I'd get a MuTron Octavider but I'm looking at cheaper models for the time being.Ā Has anyone had any experience with the Octave Multiplexer? Any good/bad feedback?Ā I just need a simple octaver really Quote
Bigwan Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 I quite liked the Octave Multiplexer I had although it's certainly a different flavour than the OC2. The TC Nether seems like a nice cheap OC2 clone if that's what you're after. My personal fav cheapo octave is the Chord OC-50, which is OC2 based but with a drive option. Quote

To be honest, I'm just looking for a general octaver at this point, the OC2 does what it does and has that smooth mid range sound, but I'm just looking for something perhaps a bit different to the OC2, maybe more 'standard octaver' if that makes sense? I had a Foxrox Octron which had a really nice Octave down. A bit fatter than the OC2, super clean and tracked well. Also had a distorted octave up which had its uses (but not a necessity).Ā I might consider getting one of those again.. It's a bit silly but I'm picky with colour schemes on my board ha, most of it is black/silver/white so I'm trying to find something that will not only sound right but look right.Ā Ā Edited June 10, 2019 by AinsleyWalker Quote
Bigwan Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) If you're OCD about colours then... Can't really help you with that... Although the Octave Multiplexer would fit. Edited June 10, 2019 by Bigwan Quote
Daz39 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Valeton do an OC-2 copy for not much, but again, that's not different. Quote
Al Krow Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Valeton OC-10 for the closest thing to an OC2 (if that's the sound you're after?) available in the market today. It's also a lot more compact plus rugged build, and a new one will set you back literally half the cost of a 30 year old OC2.Ā 1 Quote

I'll check it out Quote
AinsleyWalker Posted June 10, 2019 Author Posted June 10, 2019 Thanks for the suggestions so farĀ think I might go to a shop and try a multiplexer out, if it's not what I need, then I'll wait and get a Foxrox Octron 3 or a Mutron Octavider. Shame neither is sold in the Uk though ha Quote
Al Krow Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 OC-10, OC2, OCD - I can see this could get confusing!Ā š 1 Quote
