MXR Bass Octave Deluxe - Dual Voice Analog Octaver | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The MXR Bass Octave Deluxe delivers professional dual-voice octave effects with MXR's 18 volt Constant Headroom Technology™ providing high headroom and superior tracking. This analog octave pedal features two distinct sub-octave voices - Growl and Girth - that can be blended with your dry signal for everything from subtle low-end enhancement to massive synth-like bass tones. Perfect for bassists seeking versatile octave effects that maintain clarity and tracking accuracy across the entire fretboard.
Product Overview
The Bass Octave Deluxe employs analog tone, true bypass, and a variety of tonal options to deliver organic octave effects without digital artifacts. The innovative dual-voice design provides two completely different octave characters: Growl (for throaty tone) and Girth (for deep tone), allowing unprecedented flexibility in crafting your octave sound.
The Dry knob mixes in your direct signal, and the Mid+ switch adds up to +14dB of internally adjustable mid frequencies (400Hz or 850Hz). This ensures your octave effects enhance rather than replace your fundamental bass tone, maintaining the punch and presence essential for bass guitar in any mix.
The 18-volt Constant Headroom Technology runs on a standard 9V power supply while providing studio-grade headroom and exceptional tracking performance. This advanced circuitry ensures consistent octave generation even with aggressive playing styles and complex musical passages.
Ideal For
- Funk and R&B bassists seeking classic analog octave doubling for deeper grooves
- Progressive rock players adding massive low-end presence during heavy sections
- Studio musicians needing versatile octave effects that track accurately across registers
- Electronic and dance music producers creating synth-bass textures with organic analog character
- Cover band players replicating iconic octave bass tones from classic recordings
