Octave Pedal: Ian said, it's not me it's YOU!"👀

[andrew-pc]

That’s freakin useful. Thank you.

Makes me realize what the pedal is actually trying to do: find one fundamental note and transform it. Sending a ton of upper harmonics into it isn’t really helpful.

[versnellingspookie]

There's a noise rock band that actually uses this 'flaw' of the pedal, they're called Gilla Band, and their song 'Shoulderblades' halway through has a low bass note that keeps clipping, and all of a sudden a noisy track becomes very danceable. Their bassplayer also frequently plays slide on his bass with a beer bottle 😂

[redactedxx]

Big help. Thank you. Glad this popped in my algorithm.

[josephbaghetti]

Hey, he’s right. Just haven’t a go in my jbass…and it worked. Thanks Ian!!
Cheers!!!

[kevinfromwork]

it’s also worth noting that it doesn’t need to track! you might sacrifice some tracking but if that bright, top-endy bridge pick up sound is what’s important to you, an octaver still works great to add texture and weight, those low notes don’t even really sound like anything down the octave.

Ian: play your neck pickup
Pbass and stingray players: 👀

[ghosttownreview]

Technique plus signal chain placement. My Foxrox Octron 3 works best if it is first in the chain.

[acekkkkkk]

True. Though my c4 synth tracks down to drop d without glitching on bridge pickup. That is crazy

[anssimyllymaki]

I have suffered from this with my octave! Thanks!

[jonathangarcia]

that is if you want a CLEAN sound from your octave pedal, if you want that dirty sound keep playing hard. I dont like clean octaver sounds for rock music, I prefer the jumpy "bad tracking" sound with some light fuzz for a really thick sound when you play fast and hard on the upper two strings (D&G)

[sublimingmule]

As a guitar player, my whammy's low octaver tracks perfectly, but my tc sub 'n' up lags behind a bit.

[andreirlmeier]

The oc2 is a specialist for un accurate tracking .

[timficker]

Great for soloing with a light distortion and heavy mid range. Just like any bass advice Lemme, He said the same thing in a Phil T. Animal interview in 80's Kerrang.
-Tim "The Fresh Prince of Darkness" Ficker

[ovemikkelsenhoel]

Great video! Same advice for + octave Up too? MXR POLY BLUE OCTAVE got thar today, very glitching sound.

[guanoApe]

Smart. I find most bass pedals act the same. Also if u break them with out of theyre scope u can make fun sounds. They process very slow and simple

[Danielallanz]

An "octavia" is an octave fuzz circuit..it doesn't track like the boss octave pedal..the two things are completely different

[mikecostello]

P.O.G. tracks fine keeps up with whatever. I had to get rid of some other pedals that didnt keep up. POG

[Theansilgregoryshow]

Instead of limiting yourself to that technique, why not simply add a compresser in there with a simple rc low pass filter to run off some high end to "round off that note" and side chain it. You'll get a more consistent octave.
As a multi instrumentalist, I built a selectable freq input and output box as well added a bit o boost and run it wet only on the octave

[djlay]

I've been doing this Ian, but still had trouble with the Bass Octaver on the stomp. I bought the Seamoon Octatron and it tracks way better. Today the new 3 Leaf Octabvre dropped and I'm lucky to have snagged in time. Should I send the Seamoon back like I told my wife I don't need two (but I want two for two different sounds!!)
