Why use it
What it doesFive voices on faders - two octaves down, two up, and your dry signal.
Reach for it whenBass that needs a sub underneath. Guitar lines that need a synth octave. Thickening a mono source.
What makes it differentYou build the stack rather than pick a preset shape. The sub is generated as a triangle, which keeps it cleaner on the low notes.

An octave pedal with five voices on faders — two octaves down, two up, and
your dry signal — so you build the stack instead of picking a preset shape.
VOICE MIX
· DRY OUTPUT
· −2 · −1 OCTAVE the sub. Rolled toward a triangle rather than a square,
so it sits under the note instead of buzzing against it
· +1 · +2 OCTAVE organ, twelve-string, ring
EFFECTS
· ATTACK swell the octaves in behind the pick
· LP FILTER take the fizz off the upper voices
· DETUNE drift the voices apart
· DRY FX run the effects on the dry signal too
· Q resonance on the filter
PRESETS
Eight banks on the panel — Sub Bass, Deep Sub, Octave Up, Organ,
12-String, Synth Swell, Ring Up, Full Stack. Hold a bank to save.
Watch the ghost above DRY FX — it splits. Pull the lower octaves up and a
big one fills in below; pull the upper octaves up and a small one appears
above. Feed it a chord and the lower one shivers, which is the divider
telling you it has lost the note.
