I'm so hard for this pedal. I need it in me.

Just got home from rehearsal and I couldn't stop thinking about how I'm gonna use this when it arrives. I agree with J Moote, this is exactly what I've been looking for!

I've never even tried any IE stuff before. I had always been intrigued by the INFANEM second voice but havent tried that either. Now maybe I should just take the plunge and check out this subterranea. The octron is my fav octave pedal that I have used extensively.

Screw etiquette. Ah, I'm just kidding. The OC-2 is discontinued, isn't it? You don't have anything to worry about.

In all seriousness, I was just curious. Comparisons are what make the world turn.

So, I'm currenlty searching the couch cushions for money to buy this one , but, I gotta ask... How's the tracking on this one? Steady above the 12th fret, and glitchy down to the 7th, like some are? Or will it track pretty steady down to the 5-7 range? I assume it's pretty steady on the neck and glitchy with the bridge pickup?

Also:

The tracking is about as good as any analog octaver.

Sound clips are up. Please excuse my notoriously sub-par playing skillz.

I can do more clips if anybody has requests.

Those clips sound GOOD! Ordered!

Will listen tonight when home.

OH FUCK YEAH!!!!! Those clips are nice, so glad I ordered it a few days ago.

Interesting!
I'm not a bass player but on bass the pedal seems to sound very nice overall.
The Octave voice with rolled down filter also sounds great on the guitar samples I think, almost like a double bass.
It's probably great to play computer game type sounds and melodies with the Unisynth waveforms and the Octave waveforms seem to sound almost brass like on guitar, really cool.
However in the Guitar Waveforms sample I do hear some really strange high pitched artefacts, I guess / hope that's in the recording?
I'm also thinking whether there's a way to get a bit more sustain out of the unit and maybe get the tracking still a bit tighter, would a compressor help with that?
It would be great to hear soundclips (with guitar and bass) with a compressor in front and the Xerograph Deluxe after the Terranea, maybe combined with fuzz.
Anyway, great pedal, seems very versatile!

Audio signal converted into square wave and it sounds THAT good?!?!?! WOW

That bass hurts my ears when I crank up my monitors. Fucking awesome.

I think all your pedals need to be played with a Xerograph.

Yeah, the MP3 compression I guess gave the clips a weird high end that the pedal doesn't have in real life. A compressor would improve tracking but the unit follows the input envelope, so it will have as much sustain as your signal does.

Especially the Xerograph itself. I never click on just one at a time, myself.
