The EBS Blue Label OctaBass is a game - changer in the world of analog octave effects. It takes the octave tone quality and tracking precision to new heights. This pedal was EBS's very first effect unit and has always been renowned for its fast, accurate tracking and a rich, natural sound. When you play your instrument, it precisely tracks the note and adds a deep, resonant sound one octave lower. The 'Blue Label' version comes with exciting new features. A new Range - switch allows you to adjust the tracking focus area on the fretboard, either higher or lower, to match your unique playing style. This makes its tracking speed and range truly exceptional for an analog octave pedal. The seamless tone control is another great addition. You can easily shift from a sharp, prominent octave sound that stands out in the mix to a subtle sub - bass backdrop. It also makes it a breeze to achieve a synthesized bass sound. The Blue Label OctaBass runs on 9 - 18V DC power and has a 12% smaller footprint compared to previous editions. Key features include low - range preservation, suitability for both live and studio use, high or low - optimized fretboard tracking, volume controls for normal and octave sounds, seamless octave tone control, and 9 - 18V DC power compatibility. Technical specifications cover input and output impedance, bandwidth, gain, tone filter, and more.
Using the EBS Blue Label OctaBass is quite straightforward. First, connect your instrument to the pedal's input and the pedal's output to your amplifier or audio system. Make sure to use a 9 - 18V DC power supply. You can adjust the normal and octave volume controls according to your preference. The Range - switch is very useful. If you play higher notes more often, set it to focus on the higher part of the fretboard, and vice versa. The tone control lets you shape the octave sound to fit your music style. Remember, don't confuse this Range - switch with those on previous models. When it comes to maintenance, keep the pedal clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you're not using it for a long time, disconnect the power supply. And if you have any questions about using an analog octave pedal effectively, check out the related post for more advice.
