Notable Features

-
Sub-Octave Solo: Second footswitch mutes dry signal and boosts octave exclusively—perfect for 808-style synth lines
-
Tone Control: Adjusts between vintage OC‑2 character and more aggressive, fuzzy sub-octave textures
-
Tracking: Remarkably accurate, even on fast bass runs, with responsive dynamic behavior
-
Construction: Rugged die-cast aluminum chassis, true-bypass relays, high-quality components
-
Use Case: Ideal for bassists seeking solid sub-octave presence for synth-bass tones, pads, or deep bass effects without the bulk of multiple pedals
