New Aguilar compressor and octaver pedals

[Brian45]

Just seen these n YouTube.. look very interesting

Form factor Is going to be off putting for some I think, I love the current Octamizer and

the new sounds on the down filter sound excellent, never use an octave up tho. Compressor looks good - the metering

looks a really great addition, I’m not quite sure what to make of the EQ, I think with a passive bass it’d probably work really well

Regarding the Compressor the website states "Advanced DSP platform, in-house algorithms".

I'm gonna guess that is a copy and paste error. Surely this pedal is analog?

That's a nifty comp. I guess a few compressors have a tone control for bringing some top-end back in, but having bass and treble boosts is a bit more flexible, along with the blend for parallel compression. Neat!

Also always good to see metering!

I wonder if they thought folk might place them on the shelf on that new combo? They kind of fit. I guess if you're stuck for space...

Well I wondered this, but then on the Octamizer youtube video I saw a comment saying “why would you make this a digital pedal?” Or something along those lines? So no I think it correct - looks like they might be digital. I’m honestly not too bothered as long as it sounds good, however I know it’ll definitely be a dealbreaker for a lot of people

I really like the sound of the new octave pedal. The octave up sounds much less quacky compared to the Ehx micro pog. I like how both can be mixed with sub low and dry. I just prefer the sound of the Aguilar. 
  Grape phaser compared to mxr phase 90 sounds more silky smooth

Yes I noticed the Octamizer too but thought that was more likely to be digital than a comp. The comp is based on the original smaller one isn't it...  which I thought was analog. Maybe it is correct as you say.

Octamizer deluxe is digital; the ad copy says “powered by Aguilar’s new DSP engine”.

I think it's a bit of a shame that the Octamizer has gone digital. You can get decent digital octave up/down (and other features like semitones) in most multi-fx, but the analogue Octamizer with the tilt EQ on the clean is I think unique. Octavers are one of the only effects that there really does seem to be a noticeable difference in tone between analogue and digital.
