    Gotcha

    That's why I'm curious about the ones that appear double the octave up. Seems to again "thicken" the sound, but it is hard to find amps/cabs that will come anywhere near cleanly reproducing a B string doubled 'down'.

    My 410XST goes down to 30hz, but that just nicely catches the normal B string, not an octave down.

    It's just a downer. It's called the DEEP DIVE. It plays the original tone and gives you another one right with it, one octave lower. It ends up sounding like a pair of tones in chorus.

    It makes the G string sound brutally deep and encourages you to play your songs in a higher octave for the wonderful new blended tones it creates. You know? Not everything on the E and A strings?

    The D and G strings benefit the most from this pedal. The A string sounds good, but the lower you get, the harder it is to form the two tones properly and sound them properly through a bass amp.

    The E string is not so impressive because it's trying to find an octave below the low E, which is a little wacky. You can hear it, but it doesn't really work well through the Rumble - I guess it's a frequency thing. I know Jauqo has talked about how it is trying to find an amp that can handle the low notes on his 15 string with that crazy low C# string.

    Because the Deep Dive is technically supposed to be used on a LEAD guitar, it's best used on the higher frets on a bass, but when you do that, it's fab! It doesn't make the notes "rumble" - it just gives them a really rich and full-bodied tone. I use it to play mellow basslines like in Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun or some of my own stuff.

    Darn...I just borrowed my Dad's Electro Harmonix Chorus to try out and returned it recently. Hubby does have an octave pedal. I'll have to maybe wait until the Brute shows up to showcase the octave pedal. I thought it sounded like poop with my Rick. Might be interesting to test pedals with both my Rick and the Brute to showcase the active/passive differences.

    Sounds like a great idea Nikki!

    I don't use pedals, so really don't know what they can or cannot do. The idea of a flat tone (no pedal) with which to compare the pedal effect would be most useful.

    Absolutely, Nicki. Go for it!
