Ashdown Bass Sub-Octave PlusDecember, 2006 The Ashdown certainly looks cool, with its VU meter and rack-style bash guard/handle, and it feels rugged enough to last on the road. The snazzy-looking stompbox was frustrating to tweak, though, since the shiny silver knob settings were hard to read. The Sub-Octave Plus didn’t track lower notes very well, forcing me to stay high on the fingerboard, and I was disappointed that I couldn’t turn down my dry signal relative to the octave effect to get a dubby synth sound. The octave effect itself had a timid character. The Sub-Octave Plus’s distortion circuit—its own octave effect independent of the clean octave—gave notes a touch of grit, but it was a fairly subtle effect that left me wanting more.
