Old vs New Octave Multiplexer?

Post by BassIsBad »

Anyone know how the older "big box" Octave Multiplexer compares to the newer model, in terms of tracking, tone, etc?

Really sounded no different to me. I really like the sound of the OM, had the 'nano' version not too long ago. Be aware, if this applies to you, that they both sound useless in fx loops, both amp and pedal loops. Must be in between your guitar and amp. After or before fuzz is fine though.

i've found the tracking to be much worse when the OM is placed after fuzz. all those extra high harmonics make it squirrely.
