General

Neatly slot the Hotone Octa octaver pedal into your effects chain and shift the pitch of your sound by a full octave up or down. Mix it in with your original signal and inject passages with more power and body. However you use it, the effect packs punch, and as with most modulation effects, less is often more. This is might be why many guitarists and bassists in need of a more compact setup tend to leave their hefty octaver at home - something you'll never have to do with the Hotone Skyline Octa since it's so tiny. While it'll slot neatly into the wee corner of any pedalboard, this octaver still manages to offer everything you'd ever expect of a modern stompbox.

The Two-Mode Hotone Octa: Normal & Dirty

Since the Hotone Octa boasts a fully digital circuit, it also boasts insanely accurate signal tracking. Set it to Normal, polyphonic mode, and each note of a full chord can be pitch shifted and knitted with your original tone for a massive sound. In Dirty mode, the Octa mimics the response of a more classic analogue octaver, where the tracking is purposely less precise, adding a sweet touch of growling, analogue charm.

Hotone Skyline Pedals

The trend for more compact and pedalboard-friendly stompboxes has stuck around for a while now, and the Hotone Skyline Series forms a distinguished part of the mini-stompbox revolution. Despite the modest, stripped-down format, the face of each pedal still comes planted with large, tactile controls, while the most-used pot has been shifted to the back to save space. These large controls set you up with the same wide tweaking range and ease of use as you'd get with a pedal three-times its size, while the uber-compact size is as convenient as it gets, and the true-bypass design ensures clean and reliable performance.

koop dit stuk rommel alsjeblieft niet. Hij loopt, maar voor de rest is alles wat er mis kan zijn mis. Geluidskwaliteit is niet goed, hij kan niet goed tegen een stootje, hij stoort regelmatig bij het opnemen van meerdere lagen, en soms, heel soms, nadat ik iets gerecord heb speelt hij het zo ongelofelijk luid af dat mn trommelvliezen en zeer van doen en ik me helemaal kapot schrik. Compleet zonder aanleiding. Koop een boss looper voor een tientje meer en bespaar jezelf het ongeluk.

Reçue ce jour, on en a pour son argent et c'est globalement très positif ! Le format est exceptionnel pour qui cherche du compact : plus petit qu'un accordeur... Les réglages proposent un potard DRY bien équilibré, et 2 potards octaver : -1 octave, et +1 ou -2 (switch DIRTY pour choisir), le tout combinable à souhait.

Le seul défaut à mon sens est un léger effet delay qui s'invite dans tous les réglages. Ca peut être gênant si vous cherchez comme moi à vous faire des lignes de basse pour vous amuser sur un looper, mais en la combinant à un compresseur (monté pour le coup en amont) et en attaquant les cordes de façon régulière, on arrive à plus ou moins le gommer. Pour une utilisation polyphonique (émulation 12 cordes, jeu jazz, expérimentations...) on ne s'en rend pas compte, et la pédale est alors au niveau d'à peu près tous les octaver du marché !

Bref, vu le format et le prix, très satisfait.

Aanrader voor het aandikken van je sound op basgitaar.

Zeer leuke suboctaaf die een goede tracking heeft.

De octaaf up spring ik voozichtig mee om. Omdat ik anders te veel gitaarklank uit mijn basgitaar krijg.



Het knopje dirty gebruik ik niet.

De dirty klank is heel organ/synthesizer achtig en niet mijn voorkeur.



Schrik niet, het is een klein pedaaltje, met veel in zijn mars.
