Description

The M288 Bass Octave Deluxe is the bass octaver from MXR that offers two independent low octave voices with a Dry control and a Mid+ switch to optimize the sound of the parallel clean signal.

OVERVIEW OF THE MXR M288 BASS OCTAVE DELUXE

The MXR M288 Bass Octave Deluxe is a two-voice octaver pedal that offers analog sound, a True Bypass switching system, and a variety of options for shaping the sound. MXR's 18V Constant Headroom Technology™ provides high headroom and quality tracking. The Dry knob allows you to blend the direct signal, while the Mid+ switch adds up to +14 dB of internally adjustable mid frequencies (400 Hz or 850 Hz). Finally, you can mix the two octaves, which have separate controls: Growl for guttural sounds and Girth for deeper sounds.
