![]() However, if you only need to add a bassline, this is an excellent choice due to the wide range of features packed in. The downside is that this pedal is pretty big and heavy, as well as lacking an octave blend control.īoss OC-3 Super Octave is sub-only polyphonic, giving it a somewhat reduced application. The Whammy 5 also has upgraded circuitry that enables it to switch between chord and classic mode without sacrificing any tracking. Digitech have also included a helpful series of lights to show exactly how far you’ve shifted the pitch for maximum control.īetter still, pitch shifting using either the whammy or harmonizing mode can be done both up and down several octaves and increments. Of course, the built in-expression pedal is the best part of this device, seeing as you can use it as a whammy bar, to bend a note’s pitch as you play. A cool but rather unusual feature here is the option to also switch to monophonic mode, although whether this would be of any use beyond sheer novelty is very subjective. The Whammy 5th Generation by Digitech is another polyphonic pitch-shifter rather than a pure octave-pedal. The only downside is the octave range can only reach +1 or -1 an octave from the original signal, which may not be enough for some musicians, Additionally, the polyphonic aspect is also great, as it doesn’t create any harsh or unwanted noise when playing full chords. The pedal doesn’t muddle up when playing fast riffs or low notes. It’s also one of the thinnest octave pedals around, making it great for traveling musicians or those who have a lot of gear already.Īnother fine feature is its superb tracking. Rather than relying on pitch range as a selling point, this pedal offers a lot of control over the character of the sound. Its three different EQ modes add a lot of versatility to a product which would otherwise be very basic due to its single up and down octaves – although a dial can control these, along with a dry/wet blend. Now for the cheapest of the lot, the Mooer Tender Octaver MK II.
