EBS OctaBass Tripple Mode Bass Octave Divider Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using this effect live and in recording situations for 3-4 years now, and I love it. The best thing about the pedal is it's ability to track accurately. Like any Octave divider you try, if you use this on notes lower than a B you won't get a good sound, largely because you can't hear very accurately below a low B, and even if you can, chance are you don't have an amp or speaker that can accurately reproduce those sounds. I'm just saying this because it's a frequent complaint of people who first try these on the bass. Use it on the high notes and it sings and tracks well. There's a three position switch that lets you choose between a synth type octave sound (high) a regular octave sound, and a deeper frequency. My experience is tat the best tracking comes in the middle position, but the high position can sound pretty cool too. The low position isn't really what I'm looking for, but I do know a bass player with this pedal who swears by it, and it sounds good when he uses it. The build quality is solid, and after years of stage use the only damage to mine is some of the fancy paint worn off. I've spilled beer on it numerous times and it keeps on ticking. I've kicked the heck out of it and stupidly yanked cables out of it and it's all solid.
The one issue I have with this (and other pedals in this line) is that it's a pain in the neck to change the battery. You have to remove the scres holding the back plate on to get at the battery compartment. I don't use a battery, I use an adapter because I got sick of changing the battery out. Other than that, the EBS Octabass was well worth the full list price I paid long ago. I got my money's worth out of it. FOrtunately, you can get it now for less than I paid originally.
