Huh? I didn't think the Bit Commander had a 'fuzz part.' Could you clarify more?

Its not a clean effect. You could smooth out the octave settings by running another fuzz into it, but thats the closest you'll get to having a more pronounced octave effect. I run my Devi Soda Meiser through it, its pretty choice.

Ok, in words:
Octa is kind of more bass dedicated, usage with Bass lines makes more Sense to me. The Sound is also more on the deep filtered side and not so aggressive and fuzzy like the Commander.
Commander can do Both Great: Bass and lead Lines. Also ist is more flexible.
Soundwise they are quite different: Commander is Kind of 70ies synth, octa 90ies techno depth Deep bass with Filter.

Thanks Pena, shoulda known Kayzer would have a demo of it...
And thanks for your thoughts Univalve! I use the Octa on guitar and luuuurve it - stacks well with dirt too. Will have to try a Bit Commander when my bank account is more healthy .
