tc electronic Sub'N'Up Octaver 5-stars Reviews

Was für ein Pedal !

Einfach zu bedienen, über tone Print sogar mit dem Handy während des Spielens einstellbar, eine unglaubliche Vielzahl an Sound Varianten. Man bekommt sogar eine Orgel mit den richtigen Einstellungen hin.

Der Klang ist berauschend gut, die Wahl zwischen "dry und wet" lässt die intensität regeln und die 2 SUB Dreher lassen die Magie in den Proberaum oder auch ideal für Aufnahmen.

Ich kann mich jedes Mal kaum davon wegreissen. Ich bin äußerst zufrieden.

Fantastic for thick distorted bass sounds

I never really liked the sound of octave pedals in general, but I saw some decent reviews of this one, and decided to try it out. When I put this in front of a distortion pedal with the up octave and a bit of sub 1, it sounds absolutely insane. It made my green russian big muff sound so much better.

The pitch tracking is very good, even on the low E string of a bass guitar. It's built very strongly, and the addition of toneprint is nice (although as with my other tc electronic pedals, I probably wont end up using it much). I found that the "poly" mode sounded a bit better, but had some ever so slight latency, whereas the "classic" mode responds almost instantly, but sounds a tiny bit robotic. Would be nice if it had an overall volume knob, as there are noticeable differences in volume depending on how you set the dials.

Overall, a great pedal if you want those muse/royal blood distorted bass tones.

One of the best octave pedals on the market

After having used a BOSS OC3 for many years, I was looking for something that just did the job better. I use a separate pickup for my Low E and A strings which has its own output that I run through the octave to give the impression of having a bass player. The OC3 while it worked, did have its drawbacks and warbled a lot with use. But the Sub n Up has changed the game completely. A really rich and warm low end bass sound which completely surpasses anything the Boss OC3 could ever do. With the addition of the 2 octaves below and one octave above, this makes for a very versatile pedal with a vast array of sound options available to the user.

The best.

This is the best octave pedal I’ve used!

Great tasty pedal!

Does perfect octaves and it is built very well!5 out of 5!!!

Adorable little beast

Pros: Almost flawless polyphonic tracking, when you need it (without the weird fizz on top, like you get from Brainwaves, for example (different pedals, I know, but still)), and glitchy 'classic' one, when you don't.

- It's true bypass. Except when it's buffered bypass (there is a switch inside).

- TonePrint functionality. In this mode all physical knobs and the curves of their response(!) can be remapped to around 50 different parameters. There are 8 different octaver settings, input EQ, EQs for each of the 2 subs and an EQ for up, modulation tab, etc. Although I feel that not that many people would actually get past beaming ready-made presets into the thing, which in itself is a coolest process ever. It uses electromagnetic vibration in a coil of a smartphone speaker (and not the sound made by speaker cone) to communicate digitally with the pedal. Also it does organ sounds. How cool is that?

- The price.

Cons: I guess 'classic' mode could be a little glitchier? And there is no 'tracking accuracy' settings in TonePrints either

- Needs more TonePrint slots

- Maybe i'll find more cons along the way, I only had it for a day.

Excelent tracking, excelent polytonal mode

A great octaver to create bass lines and for solos too. I use it with a wah and it sounds something like a whammy, really fun.

Also comes with toneprint function to personalize your sound even further.

A really versatile octaver.

Great

Great addition to my quite simple setting for both bass and guitar. Pocket size fits easily in the pedalboard, the pedal is solid and looks great with Polytune tuner next to it.

Sound and effects are basically the same as in POG or POG2, which are way more expensive.

When played along with various fuzz/reverb effects gives quite a unique range of fuzzy piano/organ-like options that make guitars and basses sound like a completely new instrument. Probably the best octaver in this price range.

Great option

It looks, feels and controls great. I use this for my Royal Blood cover rig. The polyphonic octave up makes my bass sound enough like a guitar to make it work.

Modern stuff

This is defenitely one of the most recognisable octavers nowadays. I really like the idea of tone print, where you can make your own sound on laptop. Very modern and flexible gear.

Great sound

I put it on everything.

Fun little pedal

Tonnes of options with, or without the TonePrint app. Just a fun, little pedal to play around with.

Great pedal

Great pedal. Very easy to use and has great tones. The Toneprints are brilliant and so easy to use.

Genaue was ich wollte und mehr

I bought this pedal after aquiring the "nether octaver" which i found absolutely not satisfying (frequent tracking issues).

I have to say I am very statisfied, The polyphonic mode tracks really well and allows you to play chords which is quite amazing. The toneprint mode lets your guitar sound like an orgamon.

This wont transform your 6 strings guitar into a 12 strings, but it does pretty good job, the only thing I could say is that the output sometimes lacks of "definition" (i don't have a better word to describe it), it seems that it sometimes is difficult to distinguish the sounds of the different strings, depending on how your play with the knobs. But I am being picky here.

Very versatile pedal

Opens up so much more possibilities for your guitar sound. Awesome!

Great tracking, worth the price as it provides same if not better quality and options as a POG. I really like to the Classic sound of a monophonic octaver as it is fatter sounding. The polyphonic works perfectly as well, but has a slight metallic sound for the octave up - btw which I think all polyphonic octavers have.

The best Octave pedal!!

TC Electronic is one of the best pedal companies to date and their sub n up pedal is no exception!! Buy this pedal!

Great for such a price! Very satisfied!

I've bought this pedal to use it with a guitar and I like it a lot, however, my bass player likes it as well ))

It's a nice octave pedal and does what it's supposed to do. The classic mode is very cool and is pretty different from the polyphonic mode, sounds a little bit more angry to me, and with a much more pronounced up-octave.

cons:

No cons so far, love it!

Guitar Octaver

Almost 100% tracking, this pedal is simple to use and provides great customization. The TonePrint function is super useful and adds more effects other than octaves.

Versatile and unique octaver

Sounds a little different to the familiar tone of the EHX Pog but has it's own character and tracks flawlessly. The sub 2 knob doesn't get used by me as it's just too much low end but you can assign that knob to modulation and other fx within the toneprint editor.
