M288 Bass Octave Deluxe : All about the girth.

This pedal is really great for providing a lower octave to what you're playing. The tracking is great, anything lower than drop D it starts losing it a bit but it sounds amazing on anything on frequencies higher that that.

I have mine in my chain straight after my compressor to help with the tracking issues and my EQ after it, the sound is massive and that's even before you start dialing in your preferred settings on the pedal.

There's an excellent mid+ switch on it that helps with the definition of the octave on the lower register notes and it definitely adds a brighter sound to mid range register octaves.

I have the dry and the growl dialed in just above 12. It's the girth dial that gives this pedal its wallop.

It fills out the notes so much, really fattens them out. Crank up the girth, play an E on your G string and it pretty much sounds like your playing your lower E.

This is ideal for playing stoner rock groove riffs past the 12th fret on any string, almost sounds like a church organ.

It will not track bass chords though. If you want something that does track bass chords, going digital is the only avenue for that.

If you get this pedal though, there is no need for bass chords. The lower octave delivery is good, every individual note you play will sound like you're mashing the same note on all four strings at once.
