I could find a use in my act for this pedal because I do make some weird jive too, but it's not really what I had expected. Notes interact with each other in different ways, so it’s not yet possible to algorithmically recreate things perfectly, but a lot of the pedals here do a phenomenal job, and you’ll have to push them pretty hard to get to this stage. For a subset of players, the glitching type sound can be desirable, as it lends a very noisy, electronic quality to the guitar. Finally, if the pedal offers any additional features, such as an accompanying app, MIDI in/out, or FX loop, we will explore them to ensure we have evaluated every feature on the pedal. The Donner Digital Octave guitar pedal is a solid and compact unit for those looking for a good budget option. It is one of the smallest guitar pedals in this list but offers flexibility and many features, making it an ideal candidate for those with tight pedalboards. Features Once we've examined the pedals' physical attributes, we begin to assess them sonically, starting with the onboard presets. We listen closely to the sound that they're intended to create, rating them on their authenticity. Next, we test how user-friendly the interface is by creating our own sounds. We'll use them at home, in the practice room, and live to ensure we get a full understanding of how each piece of gear reacts in real-world scenarios.

One of the most interesting features of this pedal though is the range mode. Dependent on how you set the knob, the pedal will only add the octave to the lowest notes that you play, meaning you can keep things hefty when riffing hard, without having to add any notes to your chord stabs or lead work in the higher register. An octave pedal is a relatively simple thing, but there are definitely some aspects you’ll want to consider before purchasing, as each pedal will have its own voice and idiosyncrasies that make them particularly well suited to a certain playing style or genre. How does an octave pedal work? The appeal of this octave guitar effect pedal stems from the various combinations it offers. The slight volume modulation that accompanies the octave down adds a bit of movement to the dry signal and sills out the frequency spectrum in the second octave down. You can also combine the octave-up with the dry signal to produce a believable 12-guitar sound. If you want a pipe organ sound, add a second octave up.The other tiny knob (Dry) sets the volume of your original sound. The toggle will produce the most drastic changes in sound as you can change it to choose between the Sharp, Detune, and Flat modes to dictate the amount of pitch-shifting you wish. The big knob (the encoder) will allow you to choose to go up or down by the desired semitones, as well as 1 or 2 octaves, all in a simple to use fashion. Showcasing an array of controls to get your required tone every time, the MP01 Pure Octave includes Upper, Sub and Dry pot, arranged in a visually optimised and convenient way so usability is always hassle-free. Meaning you can focus on the creative side whether it's live or in the studio, and let your tone shine!
