You're getting octave down with the AB-Synth... it's a custom one?

It does synthy octave down in oscillation mode. If you set it right (not very hard to do) and maybe roll off guitar volume a bit the oscillation follows what you play and you have octave down/bass sim. If you set it optimally it can be pretty stable on lower strings too.

Edit: Forgot to mention this is just the normal AB-Synth with four knobs.

In my case:

Clean octave down: FoxRox Octron (I wish it track better on the low strings)
Fuzzy octave down: Fairfield Cricuitry Four Eyes

never fooled with a "normal" octave down pedal, but as far as fucked up and fuzzy ones go(out of all the ones I've tried)
Phantom Octave/Arcade
EHX Microsynth
Mellowtone Mini Wolf CPU
Blue Box
Devi Disaster Fuzz
Would love to try:
EHX Octave Multiplexor
Pollyanna
Subdecay Octa Synth
probably a few others

POG2 alllllllllllllllll dayyyyyyyyyy looooonnnnnnnnnnng!

Although I have been borrowing Behndy's Bit Commander, and it is mighty mighty fun for teh synthies. And I love my EHX Bass Microsynth (even if it's broken at the moment).

Also, for glitchy, muddy octave down (which I do actually enjoy quite a bit), I enjoy the Dano Chili Dog. Can't track for crap, which can actually make for some fun unintended textures & discoveries.

5k is the same! But the added gain control allows me to use it as a bass od if I want...and as of yesterday I have 2! Hah

Oh, bad wording on my part. I meant that even if mine was "only" 4k it could do that too (since he asked if it was a custom one).

And also, what fuzz takes your octave down pedals best? For instance my Bass Big Muff seems to do pretty much nothing cool with my OC-2 in front of it, it only seems there is a little more bass in the signal in most settings..

My homemade bazz fuss on the other hand with the OC-2 in front creates some really nasty big synth sounds!
