3. IntroductIon
The MB Octaver gives you a great range of ultra-funky sounds—and it’s dead simple to use.
The pedal features separate level controls for each octave and dry sound so you can add thickness to your sound by mixing in doubles of your playing pitched one and/or two octaves
down. This analog stompbox always sounds musical.
The low notes are clear and perfectly in tune, the sound is super clean, and the tracking is super fast.
Like all our pedals, this unit features “true bypass”: that means that when the Octaver is ‘off’, your signal goes directly from the input jack to the output jack with no degradation of audio
quality.
Start by running a cable from your bass to the MB Octaver input jack, and run another cable from the pedal output to your amp, setting all the pedal’s controls to the counter-clockwise
position. Turn the effect on by stepping on the footswitch, and dial in whatever mix of Dry, Octave 1 and Octave 2 signals you wish by adjusting the level knobs.
