Members grunge782 Posted June 25, 2011 Members Share Posted June 25, 2011 What are some sub 100 dollar octave pedals that you guys like (used or new)? What are the advantages/disadvantages of digital vs. analog? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kpd78 Posted June 25, 2011 Members Share Posted June 25, 2011 The Danelectro Chili Dog is a pretty good octave-down pedal; monophonic, tracking is OK (if a bit glitchy on sustained notes) but it's clean and quite chunky sounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ispunk Posted June 25, 2011 Members Share Posted June 25, 2011 Digital will usually get you polyphonic octave shifting. Analog usually won't. Check before you buy to see if it has the specs you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kpd78 Posted June 25, 2011 Members Share Posted June 25, 2011 The Guyatone MO3 (analogue, monophonic) is great for distorted-glitchy-synthy octave down effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AimmarCair Posted June 25, 2011 Members Share Posted June 25, 2011 inb4 Joyo Ultimate Octave DOD Octoplus is pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members orangesix Posted June 25, 2011 Members Share Posted June 25, 2011 OC-2 and guyatone are both really good, but i always liked the Arion Octave for octave down. It can get glitchy , but you can also do cleaner sounds than with the other two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AimmarCair Posted June 25, 2011 Members Share Posted June 25, 2011 Oh also the Behringer PS5 clone (US600 I think, Ultra Shifter/Harmonist). Does all the stuff the PS5 does so harmonizer + pitch shifting from -2 octaves to +2 octaves as well as the Detune setting which is kinda like a chorus but I never really liked that on either pedal.

This +1 Far and away the best octave ive played for a more organic feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grunge782 Posted June 25, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 25, 2011 octave up or down? Octave Down. I'm looking for something that gets that "CKYish" thickness. What exactly is the difference between polyphonic and monophonic soundwise? Also is the Chili dog digital or analog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members woolyh Posted June 25, 2011 Members Share Posted June 25, 2011 What exactly is the difference between polyphonic and monophonic soundwise? Polyphonic means it can track more than one note so you can play chords, monophonic can only track one note. Don't think they sound different, they just track differently :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been looking at the MXR Bass Octave Deluxe recently - seems like it would be good for what you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members seifukusha Posted June 26, 2011 Members Share Posted June 26, 2011 [video=youtube;HjsyaNIak9g] i did this intro with the oc2, with a comp before it and the geiger counter and a autowah afterwards. the oc-2 is a nice little pedal, does need a comp., as do all octaves the micropog is alot of fun as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zooey Posted June 26, 2011 Members Share Posted June 26, 2011 Octave fuzz is pretty touchy. It generally pops out best with certain pickup combinations played at certain frets. Sounds great for the solo in Buddy Holly (for example), but it wouldn't work for riffing or chords below the 5th fret. If you really want something holding down a higher or lower octave consistently all over the neck, or if you need clean sound octaves, then a digital effect like the POG is better.

The Bass Octave looks nice too, but is a bit higher up in price. I'm still wondering though what kind of differences are found between a digital and analog octave pedal. The Dano chili dog and OC2 seems to be getting a lot of love, so I'm wondering what differences I would find between the 2 (besides the casing, I know the boss is sturdier.)

Members Zooey Posted June 26, 2011 Members Share Posted June 26, 2011 I can tell you that the Dano Chili Dog is a Foxx Tone Machine clone. That means octave up, most prominent with the neck pickup around the 10th fret and higher. If you play chords through it with octave on, it makes an amusing blast of something that sounds like white noise. May not be what you're looking for.

I think you are mixing up the chili dog with the french toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pewtershmit Posted June 26, 2011 Members Share Posted June 26, 2011 Does anyone else feel that the POG series from EHX is overpriced? Not like "That {censored}'s overpriced! I'm chincy as {censored}! I'm 12 what is this?" but like "Man I'd love to have one of those, but {censored} dawg, thats expensive for what you get."
