Members jackpotjewell Posted November 6, 2006 Members Share Posted November 6, 2006 As close to the guitar as possible would probably be the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members inscho Posted November 6, 2006 Members Share Posted November 6, 2006 if you want the best tracking...first in the chain...if you want it to freak out then put it behind distortion/modulation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also octave pedals tend to be a lot cheaper. If all you want is an octave or 2 octaves down you can save quite a bit of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonally, a harmonic octave pedal has a way of "ghosting" and trailing that a Pitch Shifter doesn't do. A pitch shifter is handy for getting an octave sound anywhere on the neck, but with a Octave Fuzz style pedal, the octave has to be coaxed and sounds more natural.

Members Alanfc Posted November 6, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 6, 2006 OK thanks good info for me the placement is more important than cost, so would a pitch shifter do better in the FX loop? you don't know how much I DON"T want pedals upfront anymore, will not happen. Maybe its a no-go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jackpotjewell Posted November 6, 2006 Members Share Posted November 6, 2006 Maybe a rackmount pitch shifter would work better in the loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ermghoti II Posted November 6, 2006 Members Share Posted November 6, 2006 I just bought a PS-5 pedal, still learning it's subtlties, but for the best parallel-harmony type effect, it needs to be in a loop, or at least post-distortion. However, it sounds more authentic octave-pedally in front of the gain effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't the same thing at all. Pitch shifters and whammy pedals are digital, consistent and produce a sound much like what went in. Octavers are be sick things.
