Members TheCardiacKid Posted February 16, 2010 Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 Here's the deal: I've got room for a small box on my board (Omicron size) and I'd really love to fill it with an octave pedal. The only small box Octave pedal I've seen is the v1 Catalinbread Ottava Magus. I'm interested in hearing for those of you that own or have played either model, and especially from those of you who have played both. How do they compare? Is v1 solid, even without the added saturation knob found on v2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members novascotia18 Posted February 16, 2010 Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 I have V1 and haven't played with in awhile until I read this thread, forgot how much I loved it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bobby D Posted February 16, 2010 Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 Doesnt the "D" have both videos? yes.....the V1 sounds great......i liked it a lot. the V2 sounds very much the same, but the saturation control lets you add MOAR GAIN.....

Members DRGUN Posted February 16, 2010 Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 care to elaborate? i was expecting more gain i guess. it was really thin and had no crunch IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you were looking for something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
