tc electronic Sub'N'Up Mini Octaver Reviews

...but

I tried to use this little octaver in fx loop. This octaver sounds not like guitar sound. When you hear you guitar through the amp ... you hear good sound...and then you switch on this pedal...and you feel that your sound became syntetic - not guitar like.

Better up then sub

Really good up octave sound, that i was more looking for, so i have it just in 10% Sub, and around 12 oclock Up and 100% dry. Good enough for me!

Good fat octaver with many possibilities

Played with the pedal quite a bit and very happy with the sound. Mostly use it in full "wet" mode with lower octave turned up and higher octave turned down in poliphonic mode. really happy with the sound.

Pros:

- Solid metal chassis

- Good upper and lower octave sound

- TonePrint capabilities with effects

- Easy to operate

Cons:

- Polyphonic tracking can be "muddy" at times

A nice tool to have

I bought the sub n up after selling my Pog2.

As I still needed the octave function, I decided on the Mini sub n Up as a fairly cheap alternative after wasting a lot of money on a Pog. The brilliance of this pedal is that it removed the hassle of having too many presets, options and switches (as the Pog2 has) on a pedal.

I liked the Pog2 and it's a great pedal to have, it just gets too overwhelming for someone who just occasionally uses the octave for certain things.

Now about the pedal itself, it has a very wide range of possibilities within such a tiny 3 knob item. The toneprint/editor is a great feature for tweaking whatever sound you want. From simple octaves, classic, polyphonic and organ-like sounds, adding tremolos, lowpass or hipass filters through the editor, you can really get what you can also get from the Pog (without nitpicking quality, it is up to scratch) minus all the hassle. It tracks well, adds a good body to the sound and has personality. All in all a must for such an affordable price.

I love it

I really wanted an octaver pedal and I got this one. The sound is good, the features are not so complex but it is exactly what I wanted, 1 octave up and one down.

The only thing I don't like is the digital sound, the sound is too synthetic. But this is just my taste. In same time I like the sound, it simulates and organ when I play it with my bass.
