«  Small disappointment »

Octaver only for the lower octave.
Case usual EBS: Strong, with stack location incredibly poorly designed.
Mine is true bypass, apparently it is a relatively new option.

UTILIZATION

Simple setup. At the same time, a switch and two buttons ...

SOUND QUALITY

So my big concern is to render an opinion that this is the only Octaver I ever had in his hands. So I find it hard to judge.
I am however quite disappointed by two things:
- Below the LA, it picks up sometimes (not always ...)
- I have a big POP irregularly at first onset of effect after powering on. Then it gets better, but there are still unwanted noise to each engagement.

I needed it for occasional RE gravec on a 4 string, then that's fine. But given the reputation of the thing, I am unpleasantly surprised.

OVERALL OPINION

I like the possibility dde mix the direct sound and the processed sound. Ultimately, it can be used to boost.
With experience, I would try others before buying. But many will find in stores ...
