The internetz are full of it. This is a thread to post what you feel is widespreadly known but BS....One of the big ones [with bassists] is octave pedals and tracking. It is amazing how much BS there is out there on analog octaver tracking. Also the MXR Blue Box and how it works on bass. I love octave effects and own a bunch [7ish] of them so I feel I have some understanding on how the sound and how they track. First For the most part all analog one octave down Octavers track THE SAME! Boss, DOD, MXR, Dano, EHX ect all track on the same bass the same, which is around A on the low E, if your tracking is better it is o to the bass/strings you are using AND HOW YOU PLAY, the more fundamental the better. The end. You want to argue this then please prove me wrong and I will buy that pedal.
Next is the Blue Box: A lot of guys say it does not work on bass well, this again is wrong. It works fine... but actually it tracks better on bass then guitar
and it is two octaves down not one.... go figure, most two oct downs don't work the best on bass.... you can really control it's tracking/not tracking [ie what makes a BB cool sounding] by playing attack which is just neat and you can really get some cool synth sounds with it.
myth breaking guys!
