27 customers mention20 positive7 negative

Customers like the sound quality of the guitar effect device. They mention it provides a wide selection of sounds from the Growl and Girth knobs. The range is complete bliss, and the extra bass power allows for low natural bass. The octave is clear, tracks well, and has the option to make the mid pop. It's great for single notes on guitar and bass, and is generous with the Octave Pedal technique.

"...You get this square Moogish, synthy sound that's very usable when coupled with an envelope filter, distortion and other fx...." Read more

"...while the lows get an extra punch... and the extra bass power allows for low natural bass rather than needing to use throat bass. Would recommend." Read more

"...This pedal in my opinion is very generous with Octave Pedal technique and allows you to just play and give one confidence in improving Octave pedal..." Read more

"It adds a great crunchy thick sound and is very easy to figure out." Read more

16 customers mention16 positive0 negative

Customers are satisfied with the quality of the octave pedal. They mention that it's one of the best available, useful, and excellent. Some say that the quality is second to none.

"...Especially useful for beatboxing - the mids/highs stay untouched while the lows get an extra punch... and the extra bass power allows for low..." Read more

"...It's a good creative tool, though if one is going to "do" effects, I expect this is only one of a full-featured pedalboard." Read more

"This is a really cool octave pedal...." Read more

"Cool pedal, the mid switch is a nice addition. I mainly use it for the higher notes, 12th fret and above, and for the D and G strings...." Read more

10 customers mention7 positive3 negative

Customers like the tracking of the guitar effect device. They mention that it tracks well, fast, and has good accuracy even on low notes.

"...It tracks fast, long and low while having a more "square wave" tone than the Octabass which was more of a "sine wave."..." Read more

"...The octave is clear, tracks well, and the option to make the mid pop is very nice (MID+ button on the top right)...." Read more

"...As some have mentioned this one of if not the best tracking Octave Bass Pedals...." Read more

"...The tracking isn't quite as good as others suggest either...there's better ones out there...." Read more

7 customers mention7 positive0 negative

Customers are satisfied with the performance of the guitar effect device. They mention that it works well, has no issues, and hasn't failed them yet. The mid boost is amazing and produces a Moogish, synthy sound that's very usable when coupled with an amplifier.

"...You get this square Moogish, synthy sound that's very usable when coupled with an envelope filter, distortion and other fx...." Read more

"...the price i would like better tracking...but its a solid build, hasnt failed me yet and the Mid boost is amazing almost creating a Third voice......" Read more

"...The box works just great, and I wish I had a wide open place with no neighbors for a mile so I could mess with it more...." Read more

"...On paper, however, it seems perfect. At low settings and in recording situations it also sounds decent (tracking issues though.)..." Read more

12 customers mention8 positive4 negative

Customers are mixed about the sturdiness of the guitar effect device. Some mention it's a solid build, reliable, and built like a tank. However, others say that it has quality issues and the overall build of the product felt very cheap.

"...Build quality wise the MXR is decent but the EBS Octabass still wins and it is a good pedal, just not as good at tracking as the MXR." Read more

"The overall build of the product felt very cheap. At least compared to Aguilar pedals. The sound was very muddy no matter how I changed the controls...." Read more

"This does what it alleges it should. It's sturdy and reliable...." Read more

There is no equal to this pedal, get it
5 Stars
There is no equal to this pedal, get it
If you put this right at the front of your signal chain, tweaking just enough "growl" (9:00) and very little "girth" (7:00); you can max out the dry signal to the rest of your chain and it adds a spectacular dimension.That's not even the traditional application for an "Octave pedal" which this thing can do just fine, but I keep this on 100% of the time like that.In the configuration above, there is another dimension to the tone altogether. A shadow, really.Also, if you strike the lowest notes on a 5 or 6 string bass, it produces a guttural growl that resembles a bass drop or even synth (underneath the existing notes).The highs respond well with almost a cross-over relationship due to a completely different type of sound. Each note has a slightly lower, evil twin in the background.
