it’s turning up on Monday!! Hopefully able to have a bit of a play at practice!!! 

 

Nice one! And the good thing about your pedal purchases is that they're usually followed by some decent video footage! Looking forward to it - if this thing can pitch shift with tight tracking and lack of glitch-iness (I guess the best test is playing intervals with the clean sound underneath?) then its baby bro the XS-1 is getting added to my (growing, haha) "must buy soon" pedal list!

 

Currently no video footage with bass as far as I can see - all guitar clips. So could be a world premiere for you, as an incentive! 😉

 Very keen to hear the feedback (particularly on pitch up swells).

Same, but the smaller and cheaper little brother Boss XS-1.

 

The demos I've watched sound very promising, and it should be able to do a better job then the TC Electronic Sub'N'Up Mini I use currently to emulated an octave course 8 string bass -esque effect.

 

Am really looking forward to trying it out.

 

I should have it by Tuesday.

While it's not here yet so technically not my latest pedal - I have an actual OC-2 due to arrive tomorrow after years of trying and testing various clones!  Looking forward to removing the -2 control and seeing how the OG stacks up to my Octabvre mini!

… I’ve got two OC2s, but would hesitate to modify them. I know they’d be better for it sonically, but I seem to prefer originality. Let us know how easy it is to do, and a before and after sound clip would be very interesting to hear if possible please?

I once had an OC2 modded by Max @ sfx, to increase the output gain. It overcame the slight signal drop you get from the OC2 when the -1 octave was solo’d. It was a great mod. It still didn’t compare to the full on output of modern alternatives though.

I’ve got an OC2 with the square wave mod which is great fun. Sounds brilliant in the loop of my env filter. I’ll record a clip…

I'll see what I can do for you pal...

 

Out of interest, has anyone had any success just putting a boost after the OC2 and kicking them in at the same time?  I hate tap dancing but it seems less likely to result in a broken OC2!

Using a line selector pedal like a Boss LS2 to boost the OC2 could achieve this with the same number of stomps as just engaging the OC2.

Not a bad shout at all!…

 

just arrived obligatory photo

Looks like it’s going back!

 

Absolutely nothing wrong with it, I actually prefer the tone to my octabvre. That being said, the octabvre is close enough that I’d rather just keep hold of it rather than buy two pedals doing the same job - I’ll stick it on the f/s section until richtone come back with return info
