SubDecay Octasynth – Analog Octave Synthesizer Pedal

Описание: Those who watch my videos have seen my SubDecay Octasynth many times ... but never heard it yet. So, here’s a video to celebrate it big time ... before it will have to leave my board and make way for a Chase Bliss Condor. It will be missed!

The SubDecay Octasynth is a monophonic analog guitar synthesizer pedal. It combines two circuits: An octave generator, than converts the guitar signal to a rather clean (compared e. g. with the Earthquaker Devices Bit Commander pedal which has a similar concept) square wave, plus square waves one and two octaves below the original pitch. And a envelope controlled lowpass filter with resonance. The Octasynth is sometimes a bit hard to control (for me, it works best with a compressor in front), but once you manage, you can get great Moog-ish tones out of it.
