It offers two independent octave voices—Growl and Girth—with a Dry knob for blending your direct signal. The Mid+ switch provides an adjustable midrange boost of up to +14dB at selectable frequencies, ensuring your bass cuts through any mix. True bypass circuitry preserves your original tone, making this pedal a versatile and essential tool for bassists seeking rich, organic octave effects with precise control. ## Description The Bass Octave Deluxe is a dual-voice octave pedal that offers analog tone, true bypass, and a variety of tonal options. MXR's 18 volt Constant Headroom Technology™ provides high headroom and superior tracking. Use the Dry knob to mix in your direct signal, and hit the Mid+ switch to add up to +14dB of internally adjustable mid frequencies (400Hz or 850Hz). Finally, mix in two separately controlled octave voices—Growl (for throaty tone) and Girth (for deep tone). Review: A worthy EBS Octabass replacement - I have an EBS Octabass that I use extensively live but the pedal just wouldn't track low or sustain very well so after some research, I found a lot of positive reviews on the MXR M288 Bass Octave Deluxe. I A/B'd both before giving the MXR the seat on my board and have to say the pedal does everything it should be doing. It tracks fast, long and low while having a more "square wave" tone than the Octabass which was more of a "sine wave." This is especially noticeable when none of the bass's dry signal is added. You get this square Moogish, synthy sound that's very usable when coupled with an envelope filter, distortion and other fx. Build quality wise the MXR is decent but the EBS Octabass still wins and it is a good pedal, just not as good at tracking as the MXR. Review: Great pedal - I used an OC-2 for many years. The mid boost finally convinced me to pull the trigger on this one. I tried this out at a gig, and I was more than happy. My coomplaint with the OC-2 is that it always seemed like there was a volume cut no matter how I set the pedal, this one has almost more Octave than I needed. I have had the EH Ocatve Multiplexer, the MXR octave, the Boss Super Octave, and this one gets closest to the tonal profile of the OC-2. It felt and responded like the OC-2, and I can’t say enough about the adjustable gain and mid boost. You could almost just use this as a mid boost pedal. It fits exactly a Boss pedal space, although the input jack is slightly lower than a Boss. The ac Jack is right next to the input jack which is a little wierd, but I guess they are trying to make all of the things sticking out of the box in one spot. I never thought I would retire my OC-2, but the time has finally come. The order I ran this was Bass, MXR, Slow Engine, Mid Boost pedal, tuner. ## Features - Constant headroom technology (Cht) for exceptional headroom and tracking - True bypass - Organic analog tone - Two independent octave voices - Mid+ switch adds a Midrange boost at user selected frequency - Model Number: M288 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0026XH8IQ | | Amperage | 9 Milliamps | | Audio Output Effects | Pitch shifting, modulation, overdrive, octave, distortion | | Best Sellers Rank | #20,821 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #19 in Electric Guitar Pitch & Octave Effects | | Brand Name | MXR | | Color | Blue | | Connector Type | 3.5mm (1/8") headphone jack | | Controls Type | Knob | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (194) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00710137041851 | | Hardware Interface | Headphone | | Included Components | The pedal itself | | Item Dimensions | 5.75 x 4.5 x 2.75 inches | | Item Type Name | MXR M288 Bass Octave Deluxe | | Item Weight | 0.07 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Jim Dunlop | | Manufacturer Part Number | 11288000001 | | Model Name | 11288000001 | | Model Number | M288 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Signal Format | Analog | | Style | Bass Octave Deluxe | | UPC | 710137041851 | | Voltage | 18 Volts | | Warranty Description | Dunlop manufacturing, inc.
