Can a bass player w/2nd voice help me out?

[GlitteryChunks]

I'm trying to find out how the newest version of the 2nd voice works with bass chords on the octave down and sub-octave. Most videos are showing off the earlier versions. Can anyone help me out with this?

The closest thing I've found is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gzxzq-S0Mow

Which sounds AMAZEBALLS!!! but he doesn't play any chords and that's what I really want to hear, because chords on bass fucking decimate, and if the tracking is good then that means double decimate.

So if anyone out there has the rare combination...

i'm pretty sure any analog octave/harmony effect is only going to do so well at handling chords. if you want pristine tracking you'll need to go digital.

I did a demo, but I don't think I played any chords at least not on purpose. Hah. I played around a bit more than that guy but his sound quality is pretty good.

Here's mine just for reference.

Yeah that's true, but I read in the 2nd voice thread a thing from Ken, in regards to the tracking...

"The main things I'd like to add to the deluxe SV are a filter and a dedicated octave down that can be used in addition to the harmony. The heart of the Second Voice is a circuit made up of a PLL and two divider ICs which is much more complicated than needed for simple octave down. A dedicated, simpler circuit section for that would give better tracking and let folks get fat suboctave AND other harmonies
instead of one or the other."

I was hoping this would up the performance of the tracking enough for me to be happy with it, but then again I don't know anything about the inner workings of pedals so if I'm assuming too much on the performance he was implying then my bad. Even though he's talking about the deluxe here I figured the standard would have benefited in some way as well.

yeah better tracking for single notes. simple 2 note chords (4ths/5ths) will probably work ok.

you can't do chords with the sub-octave. it will bassically try to pick one note or the other or just fart out.
