Anybody around here using octave effect boxes on their CBG? - Cigar Box Nation2024-03-28T11:01:57Zhttps://www.cigarboxnation.com/forum/topics/anybody-around-here-using-octave-effect-boxes-on-their-cbg?feed=yes&xn_auth=noI just got a TC Electronics S…tag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2017-06-18:2592684:Comment:28876862017-06-18T13:23:49.417ZSeanhttps://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/Sean375
<p>I just got a TC Electronics Sub N Up. I like it, but now I need a looper so I can play over the weird organ - subsonic bass lines the thing can make. I wayyyyyyy prefer fuzz, overdrive and reverb, but I'm pretty sure I'll keep the octave pedal. I don't know as though it makes it sound more full, it's pretty serious modulation. A light clean chorus might be better for fullness?</p>

<p>that sounds more like overpowered and burned the voice coils.</p>
<p>Usually a Bass will tear the cones of speakers not designed for bass, it pushes and HOLDS the cone at the extremes of travel because its a lower frequency then the designed elasticity of the cone's rim.</p>

<p>It's the "Heavy Octave" setting on the EFX knob... It's more of a chorus setting... It adds some interesting depth...</p>

<p>As long as you don't play it really loud or with a lot of bass in it. Remember that most guitar speakers aren't designed to play bass through them. Over time it will start loosening the speaker cone from the magnet. </p>
<p>Use the effect to enhance your sound. Just to hear it. Not to overpower it. </p>
<p>Yeas ago I had a bass player friend who got ahold of some cheap 10 inch guitar speakers. So we hooked them up to his 2x18 Fender Bassmen amp. He cranked it. Slapped that low E. Nothing.…</p>

<p>I have an Eelectro Harmonix POG 2. It can add a bit of bottom end that sounds good. But have to e careful how much and how loud. A heavy low end can damage smaller speakers and some 12s as well. </p>

<p>I have the Roland Micro Cube GX, but I'm not seeing any octave mix setting on mine. You must have a cube that is a step up from mine. I've been playing around with my chorus, delay and reverb settings. Getting some great sounds, but I'd still like to try an octave pedal.</p>

My Roland Microcube has an octave mix setting, it does sound interesting.. perhaps a light chorus setting might add some fill... that and a little reverb . . .<br />
<br />
I have a Digitech RP255... I want to see if it will do a true octave shift, just so I can play 7 Nation Army. ;-)
