I would love to see a demo video as well. I've always been interested in this idea!

Clever and very useful.
My oc-3 does all that for me though.
It can differentiate between the notes it's receiving and then only put some of them down the octave? Is that what the Polyoctave mode is? That's also clever and very useful.

It still doesn't do it as well as this. Having the effect act on specific strings is a far better way of doing it than on certain notes. This way you could play the same note on two different strings and only have one of them shift down.
I think this mp3 shows the oc-3 off pretty well, I have it set so it works on more than just the top 2 strings though they are the most prominent.

it was only recorded with one little zoom recorder thing so it's not the most amazing recording or anything.

I'm still working on getting around to getting a video up. The stressful busy times of the holidays is taking its toll on my time. I will get it done here soon.

i want to suggest to you to buy a pack of Bass VI strings.

Image

change your E string to a .72

trust me it will work on a strat, then use the other strings in the pack any way you want along with your normal guitar stirngs

I only spotted this now, cheers.

Sounds good, very useful. Can you have it split the outputs so that the octave down can then be put through a bass amp and the dry sound goes to a guitar amp?

I enjoyed the tune too. Is this the stuff you've been posting in the Whorehouse that I've been meaning to get around to listening to for ages?

That was my idea haha, although I have cut my fuzz pedals down to 2 from the 4 or 5 I started with on my board.
