Ashdown Sub Octave Plus Bass Pedal - Ex Demo Overview
Add the power of the Ashdown sub-harmoniser to your tone, whatever your amp, with the Sub-Octave Plus effects pedal. The pedal generates a note one octave below the note being played, at the same volume and based on the waveform of the original. Blending the sub-octave note with the original signal gives you everything from a subtle reinforcement to truckloads of bone-crushing tone. You can also add distortion to the sub-octave note, with control over both the amount and the tonal characteristics of the distortion.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionThe pedal is housed in a durable metal case and features an input level control with a trademark Ashdown VU meter to allow optimum signal matching from any instrument active or passive. The pedal also features an output level control essential for obtaining the perfect balance between the effect and the true bypass mode.
Sub Level
The Sub Level control sets the level of volume of the clean sub octave note produced by the Sub Octave Plus pedal. This can therefore be balanced against the original bass guitar signal.
Dist. Drive
Distortion can be added to the sub octave not generated and the Dist Drive control is used to adjust the degree of Drive or Distortion that is added to the original sub octave signal.
Dist Level
The level of the distorted sub octave signal can be balanced against the clean sub octave and the original bass guitar signal using the Dist Level control. The range of controls on the Sub Octave Plus effect provides not only the one octave below sound that most octave pedals produce but also a whole range of new sounds available from the addition of sub octave distortion that can be mixed in with both the clean sub octave as well as the original bass guitar sound with infinite variations of the balance between all 3 sounds.
