HOW TO SET THE SOUND - USEFUL HINTS
In order to obtain best possible operation from the EBS OctaBass,
check the hints below on how to improve and find your own personal
sound.
1) If you are using more than one pedal, make sure that the OctaBass
is one of the first ones plugged in, closest to the instrument.
2) Avoid using the effects loop on amplifier. Many amplifiers
have the low end cut-off which causes poor triggering.
3) If you play an active instrument, you can increase the
triggering capability by adding bass on the instrument and
later lower the bass on the amp.
4) Try to avoid playing open strings. Some instruments could also
have a few number of difficult notes, especially on the first frets.
This is because some instruments have very high content of
overtones which inhibits the triggering of the unit. Try playing these
notes on other positions on the fingerboard if nothing else helps.
5) If you are the happy owner of an EBS MultiComp compressor
pedal, try to put this pedal before the OctaBass. The MultiComp
pedal can fix a poor signal from the instrument and improve
triggering considerably.
