Members Super_Donut_Man Posted September 24, 2008 Members Share Posted September 24, 2008 So I got a schematic for a few octave up pedals, but they only have the one output, so my question is (this is before I start breadboarding, so I know what I am getting into) if I want 2 outputs, (the original signal (my bass) and the octave up signal (to a guitar amp)) should I split the signal (i.e. build a signal splitter right before) and have one signal running unchanged, or should I be thinking about a different method? I imagine that there would be a way around the first though. I know there is a blend knob on most of the schematics (I imagine that is where the 2 octaves meet) so I could remove that and keep them sepearate. Make sense? Keep in mind I am a noob at this kinda thing. (there just is not a cheap enough pedal that does what I want in this case. Oh how I long for an akai unibass ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted September 24, 2008 Members Share Posted September 24, 2008 If you can swing $150, you can get a used Whammy pedal. It has two outputs that'll run a dry signal through one and an effected signal through the other that can do an octave down very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats all I need, plus electronics is something that has interested me, and I think I am going to fiddle around on a breadboard with this. Would be nice to own one of them though.

Members Son of X-51 Posted September 24, 2008 Members Share Posted September 24, 2008 Yeah it does octave up as well. There is also a harmony section with octaves and other intervals. If you can find one you should also consider the bass whammy. Its blue and has a different selection of harmonies and stuff. I think its just tuned more for bass or somehting but its in the old whammy 2 style casing. They're rare though so good luck if you go that route.

Members C Fuzz Posted September 24, 2008 Members Share Posted September 24, 2008 The Micro POG has a dry out too, and yes it does both up and down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Super_Donut_Man Posted September 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 25, 2008 The Micro POG has a dry out too, and yes it does both up and down. Yeah but that one also puts a phase-type effect as well. Which makes for some awesome funk tones, but not quite what I was lookin for. Damn you akai (thats my dream pedal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it does octave up. And two octaves up. And two octaves down. And three octaves down. It's a {censored}ing monster. Get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
