 The following files will open in their associated programs. EBS OctaBassDecember, 2006 Let’s hear it for Sweden: It’s given us relaxing massages and scrumptious little meatballs, and now it’s followed up with some of the coolest stompboxes to hit the market. I loved the OctaBass’s compact size and elegant design, though I was annoyed that changing the battery required removing the entire base. The pedal’s two knobs are easy to read and feel solid to the touch. The OctaBass’s 3-position mini-switch selects among high, mid, and low EQ filters, each of which gives the basic octave effect a unique tonal footprint: The smooth-sounding mid setting is ostensibly “flat,” high yields a crisper attack, and low bolsters the signal with creamy low end. The pedal tracked well, though like most other octavers, it had difficulty tracking the lower notes on a standard 4-string. In all, great construction (despite its battery placement), and solid octave heft. DetailsList $199 |
