Um..by "they", I guess you mean octave effects? Yet another thing I've been kinda gassing for, actually..ugh....not fair

[Mudfuzz]

Yep. You should get one them one of these days

[StudioShutIn]

Yea...was looking into the MI Audio PollyAnna for a while, but that -2 octave scares me...was afraid it would blow my amp up or something.
More recently, the Black Rose Octave by Rocktron seems pretty cool..kind of an Octave Multiplexer clone, maybe?

[Mudfuzz]

Looks that way... I hate pedals that use lame names for controls..

What kind'a amp/cab you use? In general, the second octave could very well destroy a speaker. Basically if you can't play a bass thought it without fear, you might want to fear.

I use a 20-watt 1X12 combo...as far as i can gather with my limited knowledge of amp circuits, it is like a silverface Twin Reverb, or something similar.
Fender lineage, anyway..
my guitar is a semi-hollow tele with humbuckers (like a 72 thinline)

[Mudfuzz]

So it's a open back eh? Open backs are not good with lots of bass. I'm not sure if it would be totally ok.. might work if you roll off lows but then you kinda lose the effect or use it at a low volume. A octave basically turns a guitar into a bass, so as I said before if your rig can't take a bass guitar then...

[StudioShutIn]

good point..well then, thanks for the info.
Now to figure out what I really need....hmmm

It's funny how different they all are [if you like the effect], I have five laying around right now.

Haha, at first I thought you were saying you had 5 oc2's lying around

I'm not that bad... I do have 4 The Roars laying around though

I don't plan on leaving the house at all today...
I've got a Whetstone and Timmy that is coming to be part of our family.
I'm going to each of them as I remove them from their suffocating packaging, and tell them to make themselves at home.

Rory Gallagher used an OC-2 and an MXR Blue Box with an AC30. Sounded fine and didn't do any damage (although, he did die of MRSA infection after a liver transplant so you might not want to risk it).

Eric(!)'s nekkid Frazz and '98 FF arrived today! Good times were had by me.

So 4 people have had it in like 2 months? What a whore.

I finally got a mustang bridge for my JM... A gnometron? Which will become the bone-a-tron.

I think it was more like a month.
And knowing my track record, that's actually fairly apt [/confessions thread-style]
