TC ElectronicSUB 'N' UP OCTAVER

I got the Nether Octaver.First thing a lot of people fail to understand is the Nether is an analog Octave, not a polyphonic one, so it's not going to track super accurately like something like the Sub and Up does. They are completely different sounds. The Nether is analog and has a warm, dark, synth like sound which is less accurate whereas Poly octavers are digital and more mechanical sounding and less warm but track far more accurately. For the Nether, it is mostly only to be used with single note stuff. Not chords. Lots of people undeservedly discount the Nether for "poor tracking" when really they misunderstood what they bought - analog pedals aren't going to be able to track super well ever.Even still, compared to my poly octave I thought the Nether would track a little better. I bought this hoping to use it with Octave 1 only to work as a defacto bass for my regular guitar. Even with single note stuff it glitches sometimes so unfortunately I can't really use it for that. Where this REALLY excels though is when combined with distortion/fuzz. It creates a very heavy sound and the distortion covers up the glitches. It's such an awesome sound.The pedal construction is fantastic. Solid metal. Not the biggest fan of the Stranger Things inspired name and font and dark letters - you have you dark text on a dark red background so it's not the easiest to read. But whatever, that's a very minor gripe.If you want a analog octave you can't really beat the price unless you are ok with a plastic pedal in which case you can go for the Behringer UO300 which is around $10 cheaper. But I paid the extra $10 for the Nether due to the metal housing.

You get quality sub and upper octave effects. A good stock organ effect that's programmable with the app. You toggle between the stock sub effect and a more aggressive one, with the organ effect in the middle position. I'd be happier with another organ preset, as there is very little difference between the two sub effects. The toggle is small, but the whole unit is compact, and they fit a lot into a small footprint. You can sweep the degree of octave effect, and this is very responsive. "Dry" controls the amount of amp presence.I use mine for harmonica. This is one of the few octave pedals that control latency well enough to be useful for harp. Our guitar player has one, too. Definitely expands the tonal and presence palette.There's a reason these pedals are prized. Great value and legendary tone. Price is right. It's a pro tool.

Using the toneprints is good. The stock poly and classic mode don’t really work for my sound. They have too much low frequencies. The stock poly sounds like there’s more latency and glitchiness than there should be. The EHX POG and Pitchfork don’t have this issue. But it seems like a lot of the toneprints are tighter. Getting an organ sound with some of the toneprints is cool. I haven’t really found a good just plain bass sound yet. The POG and Pitchfork and latest Boss OC pedal seem to do better at this but dont have toneprints. They also cost more. But I guess an octave down organ sound is what I’ll work with when jamming with my friends since I hate playing an actual bass.

I send dry and wet signals to seperate amps, so standalone effects allow more autonomy for my desired setup. The sub n' up mini is exactly that - a simple, but responsive octave pedal that tracks very well. No bells, whistles or additional effects.I give 5 stars because it meets my expectations and does what I need it to do. I do want to mention that the octave up and down signals are just a tad quieter than the dry channel, so a pronounced octave sans dry channel can be a little too quite in the mix, depending on your desired sound. Otherwise, it's an excellent pedal.

I bought the Nether to use on bass for a 1 octave down, and it works perfectly. Tracks great, and sounds good even on open E string. Supposedly this is a repackage of the Behringer clone of the Boss OC-2, but it does NOT have that distinctive square-wave synth tone of the OC-2. The Nether is more true-sounding in the 1-octave-down setting, more like a DOD Octoplus.Seems really solidly made and sounds great. I considered a lot of analog octavers before opting for the Nether, and I'm glad I went for this rather than an OC-3 or MXR.

One of the best octaves that can do 3 down and 1 up at the same time . I paired it with my fuzz( after fuzz ) to get that octafuzz effect and it works . Thanks Sweetwater for fast delivery and small bag of candies included with pedal 👍🥰
