Subject: Re: OT:Octave choice
I've had no experience with the Dan-o octaver or DOD, but I've
used the
Boss, and its tracking is spotty in the extreme ranges. For the
bucks I'd go
with the Digitech Whammy. I demo'd the original (and most
popular) model
back in the day when it first came out, but by the time I
ordered it, it had
morphed into the somewhat unpopular black model. I have
zero complaints with
it.It generates one ovave up, two octaves up, and one
octave down from the
original pitch. Additionally, it generates a mix of
one octave up and one
octave down in conjunction with the original signal.
And then of course
there are all the other intervals it will generate along
with the zany
pedal-portamento effect. I believe the newest (and slightly
more popular)
model has the "dive bomb" pitch effect which drops the sound
five octaves or
so, sounding like a turntablist putting the brakes on vinyl
if you play it
right. Or for those whose hair resembles a poodle's,
sounding like Eddie Van
slamming his Floyd Rose into the face of his custom
Strat.
If you add up all the octave possibilities and
it's ability to track
single note lines really well AND its cool
glitchiness when you feed it a
comlex chord, its possibly the best
bank-per-buck octaver out there.
