Description

Offering an upgrade to the warm analog sub-bass sounds of classic octave circuits, the MXR Vintage Bass Octave delivers superior tracking, cleaner headroom, and the flexibility modern players need. This stompbox delivers an outstanding range of smooth, musical sounds - from a growl that thickens up your sound, to chest-thumping dub tones - all in a compact MXR mini housing.

With a lush and vocal tone, the Vintage Bass Octave features two engines - one octave down, and two octaves down. Each can be individually dialed in with their respective volume control knobs, with a Dry volume control that blends in your clean signal to find the perfect balance for your setup. A Mid switch boosts the midrange of the clean signal by +6dB at 800Hz, adding even more articulation and definition, and by removing the bottom plate and tweaking the internal trimpot, can boost the mids by up to +13dB. Finally, with Constant Headroom Technology, the Vintage Bass Octave delivers pristine headroom by boosting the 9V power supply to 18V internally.
