#OCTAVE PEDALS GENERATOR#
#OCTAVE PEDALS FULL#

It’s just a solid pedal through and through. It doesn’t do anything other than what it’s been designed to do. If you’re expecting the OctaBass to do anything besides add an octave to your tone, you’ll be disappointed. The tone control allows you to dial in additional bass for all those times you need a heavier tone, and that’s a basic but fun feature. It adds an octave to your notes, and the latest version tracks better than past iterations. The OctaBass does what it’s been designed to do. It features a true bypass signal relay switching design, which can be helpful when adding more pedals to your signal chains. Its controls, though, are about as straightforward as they come – there’s a knob for “normal,” octave, and a switch for range with low, mid, high as options. The EBS OctaBass Triple Mode Octave Divider is a big, sturdy looking brick. Package dimensions: 6.25 x 3.2 x 5.65 inches EBS Sweden AB EBS-Pedal SE-OC Bass Octave Effect Pedal Some complained of noise (strange, loud clicks), but they were in the decided minority and probably had a defective unit. Overall, I’m quite impressed with the sound of the Nano POG, regardless of whether you’re playing blistering pentatonic licks or slowly arpeggiated chords.ĭespite only having three knobs, this is still a versatile pedal with a lot of cool sounds in it.Īgain, while it is more commonly used by guitarists, it can still be used by bassists to achieve all kinds of effects.Ĭustomers were generally sanguine about the Nano POG, and some even said every guitarist should have one. Of course, the Nano Pog is going to seem basic compared to the POG2, so how does it compare sound wise? This pedal comes with a silent footswitch, and the EHX9.6DC power supply, so you won’t have to purchase one separately. You even get a dry and effect output jack for those times you need some extra versatility.

The three knobs (sub octave, octave up, and dry) give you full control over the sound.

The Electro-Harmonix Nano POG Polyphonic Octave Generator is a more affordable, easier to use pedal compared to the POG2. I did warn you that we’d be covering more POGs didn’t I? Package dimensions: 0.5 x 2 x 3 inches Electro-Harmonix Nano POG Polyphonic Octave Generator Pedal Most users enjoyed the Powerchord, but some felt it was a little too expensive for what it offered, and said that the notes didn’t track very well. And the overdrive creates a tone well-suited to heavier genres – rock, progressive rock, metal, and so on. It’s not hard to see why it’s called the Powerchord, though, because with the harmonies it creates, you will literally have a power chord with every note you play!Īs you would expect, you can get some huge sounds out of your bass using the Powerchord, almost as if you were playing a bass with double course strings. It accepts active or passive instruments and has a battery life of 20 hours. This pedal also comes with noise gate, overdrive, tone, and effects level controls. The more switches you activate, the bigger the harmonies. The onboard LEDs help you see which harmonies you’re about to activate before you switch them on. It creates stacked harmonies above the root note an octave up, and octave and a fifth up, and a fourth and an octave up. The Fishman Fission Bass Powerchord pedal is more than just an octave pedal. Package dimensions: 8 x 7 x 3.5 inches Fishman Fission Bass Powerchord FX Pedal Some users were a little disappointed in the quality of the build, though, especially considering the price. Most users loved the POG2, and they even found they were able to create cello and organ like sounds using this pedal. Just know that it doesn’t always track lower notes all that well. I’m not convinced that’s the best way to utilize it, but it does allow you to create some interesting sounds.Īlthough the POG2 is often used by guitarists, it sounds quite good with a bass too.

Since it’s a polyphonic octave generator, it can handle chords too. The POG2 makes it easy to add octaves below and above, and together can create a huge sound. This is a versatile pedal with many controls – there’s a section for the octaves, a section for effects (attack, lowpass filter, and detune), buttons for Q (resonance) and Dry/FX (allows you to apply to your dry signal), and finally preset controls for cycling through presets.

This pedal comes with attack control, two sub-octaves, two-pole resonant low-pass filter, enhanced detune and algorithm, and a rugged die-cast chassis.

This one is the Electro-Harmonix POG2 Polyphonic Octave Generator. When it comes to octave pedals, POG is kind of the king, and we have more than a few POGs to highlight on this list.
