Ashdown Sub-Octave Plus (used)

Ashdown Sub-Octave Plus bass octave effects pedal is a classic analog octave unit designed to give your bass tone serious low-end power and character.

The Sub-Octave Plus generates a note one octave below the note you play, and it bases that sub-octave tone on the actual waveform of your bass signal rather than making a digital approximation. This makes the effect sound much more natural and musical compared with many cheap octave pedals that sound synthetic or “keyboard-like.”

What makes this pedal stand out is its ability to blend the sub-octave tone with your original signal. You can mix in the effect subtly to reinforce your bottom end, or crank it up for massive, thick low tones that fill out your sound. In addition to the sub-octave generation, you can also add distortion to the generated sub-octave voice and adjust both the amount and character of that distortion for even more tonal variety.

The pedal is housed in a rugged metal chassis with a built-in input level control and Ashdown’s trademark VU meter to help match signal levels from different instruments. True bypass switching ensures that when the effect is off, your bass runs completely clean without tone loss.

Players and reviewers often praise this unit for tracking well across the bass range and for sounding fuller and more musical than many octave pedals in the same class. It is especially useful for funk, rock, synth-bass and any style where extra weight and depth in the low end can enhance your tone.
