Product information - MXR M-288 Bass Octave Deluxe

The MXR M-288 BASS OCTAVE DELUXE is a dual-voice octave pedal with an organic analog tone, true bypass, and a variety of tone-shaping options.

The MXR M 288 BASS OCTAVE DELUXE is powered by a single 9-volt battery, MXR’s 18-volt Constant Headroom Technology™ (CHT) provides studio-performance headroom and superior tracking.

Use the Dry knob to mix your direct bass signal with the octave effect, or hit the Mid+ switch to add up to +14dB of internally adjustable low-mid punch (400Hz) or midrange pop (850Hz).

Bass players will love the two separately processed and individually voiced octave controls-Growl (for throaty, midrange octave-below tone) and Girth (for deep and smooth octave below). The Bass Octave Deluxe comes in a durable, lightweight aluminum casting and also features high-quality jacks and switches.

Does the job

Review from: John at 06/13/19

It's a competent bass octave pedal. I would have been happier to have received some instructions giving explanations as to what 'Girth' and 'Growl' symobolized - being two of the controls but instead just got a simple set up instruction and a load of multilingual stuff about safety/warranty etc. So I went on YouTube to get an overview and there were certainly a couple of good demos - for which I'm grateful. One of these guys mentioned a manufacturer's instruction than included a 'Pino' setting - the pedal is used by Pino Palladino. But I did not have such guidance with my model.

Using in conjunction with a Submarine pick up on an acoustic guitar. Isolating the 5th and 6th string and feeding into the Bass Octave to a bass cab whilst the remaining string go as normal to an AER acoustic amp. This simulates a bass guitar on the lower strings and a regular acoustic on the remaining four. Work a treat!
