For riff lovers. For anyone who's ever listened to Led Zeppelin and wanted that synchronized guitar-and-bass weight under their fingers. For fans of The White Stripes, Hendrix, and Rage Against The Machine, Muse, Royal Blood. Also — For bass players who know what a vintage OC-2 can do to your basslines. For creative players who want something more than digital precision and clinical accuracy. For people who want a collaborator, not just a tool.
The Double Dragon Lo-Fi Octave Device is built on shoulders of 40-50 year old analog octave divider technology — the same technology that gave us the MXR Blue Box, DOD Octoplus, the Boss OC-2, Ibanez OT10, Electro Harmonix Micro-Synth, and other circuits that synth designers helped inspire.
The Double Dragon is an all-analog monophonic octave-down and up effect. The lower octave is the foundation — thick, analog, with the characteristic behavior that made vintage octave circuits legendary. The upper octave is pure bonus: an octave-up distortion that lands somewhere between an Octavia and a Superfuzz. Gritty. Usable. With a mid-range sting that cuts through the mix.
VOLUME controls the master output level with extra boost available. Turn the octaves off, dry full on, and you have an amazing always-on preamp.
DRY mixes in your clean signal to the octave effects — all the way up is where we suggest you start, all the way down goes fully wet for glitchy vintage synth textures.
OCT− controls the lower sub-octave mix.
OCT+ controls the upper octave and distortion (activated by right footswitch).
Left footswitch is ON/OFF. Right footswitch engages OCT+ circuit.
The main effect must be on for OCT+ to function — it's the way it's designed — not a limitation. For octave-up only, engage and turn OCT− down.
