Re: Up An Octave

[mungenast@earthlink.net]

The proudly analog Rocktron Purple Haze can give you an octave up, down, 
or both... kind of like an MXR Blue Box *and* an Octavia in one 
indestructable extruded housing. (Did I mention the sexy anodized fuschia 
color?) I haven't used it on bass, but it sure sounds good on guitar. 
Sure, the lower octave tracks poorly, but it's so rich, it's the Hardee's 
1000-calorie burger of the stompbox world, and besides, it's the upper 
octave you want anyway.
Worth a test drive if a store near you has one.

Subject: Up An Octave

All this talk about the Boss Octave pedal reminded me that I'd like to 
find something that I can play my bass through and bring it up an 
octave.  I then want to use a guitar processor on this to help it sound 
more like a guitar than a pitch shifted, munchkin-sounding bass.  What's 
out there?

Reason:  I'm in a trio; guitar - bass - drums.  There are times when I 
want to duplicate the sound of a guitar playing along with the bass line 
to free the guitarist to play something else or to make us sound like 
there are more than just three of us.

Cheers,

Bill
