For fun I have tried some Nova Twins style pitch shifting with the Mooer Pitch Step. A fabulous pedal with much potential. Not a digital fan but I get bored occasionally and have a range of digital pedals for pure entertainment. Another great video. ❤

Would have been good to see how this could simulate a bass guitar by killing the whole dry signal. Did you try that?

@Ren-X 2 жыл бұрын

Just grabbed this one cheap for bass. Similar setup to OC-2, but obviously without the enormous cult following. Great that it's analogue. I can't wait for it to arrive to try it out

I have a similar Hotone octave pedal, and I always forget to experiment more with it. Mostly use it to simulate single note bass lines with my looper pedal when practicing.✌🏻🎸

Is it Hot One or Ho Tone? 🤣

One crucial test is missing: "Octave 1" UP and everything else DOWN to zero. You know, to see if it could 'replace' a base for simple stuff.

This is a interesting pedal to someone that only plays clean with zero desire for crunch, distortion, gain, overdrive. The 1 octave I found very intriguing. Did I miss you doing the 2 octave on clean?? Or is the 2 octave only applicable when playing what I never use?? I am very interested in knowing if the 2 octave even works playing clean since it wasn't addressed. Not a complaint. Just something I wish I'd heard. Or, is my lack of knowledge about Octaver pedals painfully obvious and I'm asking questions that are not applicable? Another great demo and review. Please keep them coming, Shane!!!!

PITY it didn't have an octave plus! Could have got a faux 12 string vibe going! Sadly they ALL suffer from that synthy, ring mod sound when pushed to the extremes! GOOD demo Shane!

Interesting. I once had a Boss Octaver which I found used for about 40 bucks. It was fun but I fell for the temptation to flip it for a profit. Sold it for $130.

@robsmith6443 2 жыл бұрын

May be a dumb question but...can this do an upper octave and is does the blend have an all-wet (kill-dry) capability?...I'm looking for a budget- and small-board-friendly option to make my stereo delay fire back and an octave higher and wondering if this will do it.

No upper octave on this one.

i just bought one and i was wondering if what happens at 3:39 was not a problem, it happened here and i was thinking it should not happen... i didnt like this feature... i wish it was a consistent sound. blind purchase but... happens! tks for showing its "normal" because i was about to complain a refund or something... sad

Is this pedal noisy? Any ground noise?

@brandonlesko3126 2 жыл бұрын

The pedal sounded great. Hard to beat at the price. Due to the size of this pedal I'd guess it has to be surface mount. If you've ever built pedals from a kit you appreciate having room to work.

@error8418 2 жыл бұрын

This has to be made of surface mount components - but so are all new Boss pedals. It's getting more and more difficult to find through hole parts.

@mattengler4676 Жыл бұрын

Anybody else notice if they tap the dry volume while the pedal is engaged that the tapping is audible through the amp.

Well, it's pretty glitchy, but that's why so many still love the POG. Perfect tracking wouldn't be half as cool in my opinion.

I thought about using it to have notes in a lower frequency following the lead guitar while the bassist is still taking cover for the rhythm... and later build it up to turn the effect off and have the bassist following the lead for real, making it richer with more dynamics in the lower side, since the pedal just follow it note by note and should work fine to prepare the listener for it.
