When you play a note on the guitar you are not hearing just one note. The M288 actually tracks the signal extremely well but can have difficulty distinguishing the fundamental note from the harmonics if the harmonics become louder than the fundamental. The cause has to do with the way the pedal tracks the signal and the physics involved with stringed instruments. I'll try raising the action as pantherairsoft suggests to see if that helps any and I'll report back.įor your information, This is the return of Dunlop Tech :Īnalog Octave effects can seem to have tracking issue if you are not familiar with how they work and do not know the tricks to using them. The thing is it clears up after a period of time so I'm assuming there may be a problem with the pedal? I tried one at Guitar Guitar (I took my own fretless along as they seldom have fretless basses there and this is the bass I play it through most often) against a Boss OC3 and an Aguilar Octamizer before I bought it and it just blew the other two out the water and there was no tracking issues with the 'new' one on my Rumple: yep, tried it with three different basses - two fretless (one is active) and a passive fretted - and still have the same problem. I'll try raising the action and adding some neck pup to see if that helps but I honestly think it's an issue with the unit cheddatom: Yeah it totally sorts itself out after about 10 mins and this is a reasonably recent issue as well as I never used to have any problems with it.Ģ) has a £199.00 price tag on the box that it was an older model and perhaps prone to being a bit twitchy?

Again the OP mentions the possibility of a defective pedal but I'll certainly check it out once I get home after pantherairsoft: I do play mostly with the bridge pup on full and neck pup off with the treble rolled off slightly and I have my action pretty low but not to the point where it's causing any noticable buzzez or rattles. Most definately worth investigating though. Sorry folks, the new site wont let me multi-quote for some reason so I'll have to do it this way I'm BigBassBob: Cheers for that mate, this sounds like the type of thing I'm experiencing but I've never actually paid attention to how far up the neck on the G string it goes. USA75RI Jazz > Boss TU3 > Dunlop Bass Wah > MXR Bass Envelope Filter > MXR Bass Octave Deluxe > Boss OBD3 > AmpĮven using the OC on its own I still get the problem. I have no idea where 'Kenny's Music' is but I'm assuming that these units have been around for a while considering the £199.00 price tag and that I may have one of the early units. It was bought second hand from a member here, and I need to make it clear that I'm in no way suggesting the member is at fault for selling me dodgy goods, but it has a pricetag on the box of £199.00 from 'Kenny's Music'. I can play the same notes on the D without issue but if I try the higher string I get a complete breakup until it seems to settle in after about 10mins.
I can easilly get down to low G on the E string without issue but when I plug everything in then start widdling (as one does) it refuses to track anything I play on the G string. I was always under the impression that OC pedals would lose tracking at the lower register as opposed to the higher but mine seems to hate anything I play on the G string until it kinda 'warms up' after about 10 mins then it's fine. I have a rather odd thing happening with my MXR octave pedal. Evening (or should I say 'morning') BC'ers,
