Octave up-->octave down?

Post by GlitteryChunks »

Can anyone post some clips of an octave up fuzz-->octave down fuzz going at the same time or vice versa and obliterate my ear particles with a moldy hammer of noise? I've been eying various fuzzes and I thought this would be a cool setup but don't have any way to test it out. Clips with bass get extra excitement. :love: :!!!:

Afterwards...

If you'd like to recommend an octave down fuzz with good tracking I'd be most appreciative. It seems like Robot Devil or 2nd Voice are the top contenders around here. If there are others please, DO TELL!!!

I can make a clip of octave fuzz -> clean octave down+fuzz if you'd like that. DOD octoplus is a great cheap analog octave down that kills with fuzz. No idea about octave down fuzzes though, sorry about the irrelevance.

I can do similar
Whammy Down into Fuzzwar into something else

But the DOD octoplus is a flipping sweet pedal running into a muff

That's actually how I used to get the sound you are going for
DOD octoplus - Big Muff Wicker - Pigronics disnortion
sounded sick

Second voice is a good octave down but I am not sure I would consider it an octave down fuzz in the traditional sense

I do like this conversation hoping to hear some good demos of everyones take on how to do this

I dunno, for full effect you need to do it in parallel or you need a single pedal that can do both at the same time I guess?
I mean, if you go octave up -> octave down or octave down -> octave up you'll end up with the same pitch as your guitar I think?
Micro Synth, Octron and Polyanna are three pedals I know of that can do that kind of stuff but there's more:

Cool octave down fuzzes:
4ms Nocto Loco
Catalinbread Perseus
Copilot Mantis 2
Infanem Second Voice

OOOOOOO!!! This all sounds really good :snax: :yay:

I was under the impression that octave up fuzzes were somehow..."more" than octave up+fuzz? Or am I misinterpreting some people's love for their octave up fuzzes? I was applying this same principle to octave down but I guess I was wrong on that?
And I just watched a video demo of the Mantis 2 on bass, :wha?: .

Anything with RD would be extra helpful since I haven't heard that with much anything else.

You guys are awesome.

You play bass?
For octave up on bass the Iron Ether Oxide is quite a loved contender out there (sounds great on guitar too).

Ok so I recorded this on my phone, sorry about the lame quality, I don't have any decent equipment around. It involves the Upper, LSTR and Octoplus.

I switch the order round a few times, first up is Octoplus->LSTR->Upper, then I think it's Upper->Octoplus->LSTR, then finally LSTR->Octoplus->Upper. The difference is pretty big, at least it was live, not sure if it all comes through in the recording. I think it gives a decent sort of idea of what you can do with a slightly glitchy clean octave, slightly fuzzy octave up and a fuzz. I think I prefer this way round because of the different options and more tweakability, but there is also something to be said for just turning on a pedal and there's octave up/down fuzz straight away.

Fender Blender (RI) and MXR Blue Box. Did this a year+ ago for a similar request.

Both are on at the 1m markish, can't miss it.

The key is finding the right two to work together.

So many good clips, the last minute on these two are humongous! I'm no longer worried about the octaves cancelling each other out. If anyone else wants to post clips I'd love to hear them. Robot Devil? Hmm? Hmm?
