The TC Electronic Nether Octaver guitar effects pedal brings gnarly, glitchy analog octave effects to expand and enrich your tone. With just two simple knobs, the Nether Octaver gives you a classic octave-down effect as well as synth-like upper octaves. Dial in the amount of clean tone along with the lower and upper octaves. From subtle thickening to extreme octave effects, you can fatten up your sound or dive into wild synth tones. The Nether Octaver features true bypass switching to maintain your core tone when bypassed. The compact size and 9V power supply operation make it easy to add vintage octave flair to your pedalboard setup.

All-Analog Circuitry

The Nether Octaver utilizes all-analog circuitry for an organic, warm octave effect. The pure analog signal path delivers the real deal sound and vibe of vintage octave stompboxes, without sterile digital reconstruction of your tone. From smooth, subtle thickening to radical octave effects, the Nether Octaver brings old-school octave flair to modern pedalboards.

Shape Your Sound With 1 & 2 Octave Modes

The Nether Octaver's two octave modes let you craft effects from subtle to extreme. The lower octave thickens up your playing with a gnarly octave-down layer. Crank it for an aggressive bass foundation or back it off for just a hint of girth. The upper octave generates glitchy, synth tones one and two octaves above your dry signal. At extreme settings, get ready to channel vintage video game sounds. Dial it back for airy harmonics blended with your natural tone. Blend both octave layers along with your dry tone to create the signature octave effect.

True Bypass Maintains Your Natural Tone

The Nether Octaver features a true-bypass on/off footswitch, ensuring no unwanted coloration of your tone when the effect is disengaged. The pure analog signal path provides organic, warm vintage octave tones without any sterile digital artifacts. You get the real deal octave effect without compromising your core guitar or bass tone. True-bypass switching lets your natural tone shine through when you don't need the octave effect.

    Making that fat bass harmonic under your guitar solo, or if you just feel like kicking your bass player out of the band. Kidding... bass players are important.

  • Yes, I would buy this product again.

    I'm a bass player, and personally find octave 1 useless, however, when mixed right, octave 2 is a good way for me to achieve a thicker, fuller overall sound, for live performance, as well as recording.

  • Solid build, the sound I was looking for

    I've been looking to add an octave pedal to my board for a while now. This fit the bill well, love the blend of the two octaves with the clean. Sounds mean with distortion! Can really dial in some old school CKY or White Stripes.

    My only problem with this pedal? I can't leave it alone. It has so many mix options. They all sound good. If I had a complaint, the mix knob could be a tad more subtle. You have to blend all 3 knobs to get what you want. Don't be afraid to try all the stack variants you can. It's a blast. Other than that, Ive had it on my board for 6 months with no problems. Yes, it is glitchy. But what you expect , It's a vintage style unit.

    It's designed for use with a guitar, so the sound may not be optimal, but it will work with a bass.
