without e ect over bass tones with
octave eect.

OCT 2: Heav y octave sound, adds a
second oc tave to the rst one.

DRIVE: Adds an overdrive eect to
the original and the octave d signal.

(2) The DIRECT control adjust s the

level of the original input signal
(and the DIR OUT connec tor).
In DRIVE mode it ad justs total volume.

(3) The OCT 1 cont rol adjusts the level

of the generate d signal one octave
below the original signal.

(4) The function of th is knob depends on

the positio n of the MODE switch (1):

POLY>RANGE: Denes the freq uency range in which the i nput signal triggers th e octave eect.

OCT 2>OCT 2: Controls the vo lume of the second oct ave.

DRIVE>DRIVE: Controls the depth of the over drive eect.

(5) The blue ON /BATT LED illuminate s when the eect is ac tivated. It also ser ves as a battery l evel indicator.

(6) Use the foot switch to activate/deac tivate the eect.

(7) The ¼" TS connector (GTR IN) is optimized for guitars. Use connector BASS IN (9) for optimized

(8) The ¼" TS connector (OUT A) connects to your amp.

(9) The ¼" TS connector (BASS IN) is optimized for bass guitar s. Use connector GTR IN ( 7) for

optimized guitar performance.

(10) The ¼" TS connector (DIR OUT) passes the unaecte d input signal through, as long as t he eect

is inactive. Thus OUT A is muted. When the eect is active, the eects signal is sent through OUT A
while the DIR OUT c arries the input signal. The volume of the DIR OUT signal is depending on the
DIRECT control’s setting. This output conguration is useful when dierent eects should be added
to the input signal and the eec t signal, after the octave pedal’s output.

◊ If the DIR OUT connector is not in use, the unaected input signal and the eec t signal

are both se nt out through OUT A, depending on the eect ac tivation.

Use the DC IN connection at the f ront of the unit to plug in a 9 V power supply (not included).

The BATTERY COMPARTMENT is located und erneath the pedal cover. To install or rep lace the 9 V battery
(not included), pres s the hinges with a ballpoi nt pen and remove the pedal cover. Be ca reful not to scratch th e unit.
