In this article, we’re going to be discussing what the best bass octave pedals of 2021 are.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

However, before we dive into talking about each of the processors, we want to briefly mention what a bass octave pedal is, the different types that are available, and when you would likely use one.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So, let’s get to it!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What is a Bass Octave Pedal?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Bass octave pedals are effects pedals that are able to generate a tone which is an octave above and below the frequency that a bass guitar is playing. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Some bass octave pedals are even able to synthesize a greater range, accurately emulating a three-octave range.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Monophonic and Polyphonic Bass Octave Pedals<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Traditional bass octave pedals have been monophonic and therefore this has meant that they can only process the effect for one frequency at a single time. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

However, due to advancements in technology and the quality of the internal processing units, some pedal manufacturers i.e Boss, have finally progressed to producing polyphonic bass octave pedals. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Boss OC-3 was the first ever polyphonic bass octave pedal and remains a best-seller due to its high sound quality.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Analog vs Digital Bass Octave Pedals<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Bass octave pedals have until recently always been analog, but due to recent advancements in technology, particularly in the digital audio emulation of the warm analog sounding effects pedals, digital bass octave pedals have become more available and are an attractive solution.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So what’re the advantages of using a digital pedal over an analog one? <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Well, digital pedals have several advantages over analog pedals, being able to process multiple frequencies simultaneously, with most analog pedals operating on a simple frequency IIRC. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Another advantage of a digital effects pedal is that it can more efficiently monitor notes played, therefore making the processing of the desired effect more accurate to the frequency that is being synthesized.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What Does a Bass Octave Pedal Do?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As we’ve previously discussed, bass octave pedals are used to synthesize a frequency or pitch that is an octave above or below the currently played frequency<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Octave pedals monitor the inputted signal from the bass guitar to create a frequency output that is an octave above or below the input signal; The original and synthesized signals are then mixed and sent to the output, allowing you to hear the desired sounding effect.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

These pedals can be used alongside other bass effects pedals, such as bass preamp pedals<\/a> and bass multi effect pedals<\/a> to create an audible masterpiece, both in the recording studio and within a live performance setting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When to Use a Bass Octave Pedal<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"when<\/figure><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Bass octave pedals are particularly useful to provide a ‘bigger sound’, with the effect also being somewhat drone-like, artificial and unique.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Octave pedals are useful in numerous different settings, whether or not the bassist is looking to provide a unique sound to a song, or looking to fill up the mid-frequency range (octave above), or the sub-bass range (octave below), it’s really up to the creativity and taste of the musician themselves. These pedals can be very useful and are more commonly used by bassists on bass solos.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So let’s get to it, what are the top 7 bass octave pedals of 2020?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
