    Hi,

    I have an Octabe Multiplex. Fun box, I bought it from a big retailer because I was looking for a double track effect for guitar. I guess it’s not. What I can’t see anywhere, even in the videos offered is anything that explains the 2 seperate outputs. Even in the product inserts/manual it only states the names of these outputs Direct Out and Bass Out.

    What are they actually for?

    The next natural question is what I bought it for in the first place A guitar double tracking effect. Years ago I saw the Full Double Tracking Effect from EH, but not lately. This looked like a simple solution. Do you make anything I can use for that, presently?

    From the manual:

    EFFECT OUT Jack – Connect this jack to your amplifier. This is the Octave Multiplexer’s output.

    DRY OUT Jack – This jack is connected directly to the Input Jack. The DRY OUT jack gives the musician the ability to separately amplify the original instrument and the sub-octave created by the Octave Multiplexer.

    Effect out is the processed signal w/ octave down. Dry out is the clean signal only.

    The Full Double Tracking Effect hasn’t been made in over 25 years. You need a delay like the #1 Echo.

    Thank you. That’s a pretty nifty feature there. I love using stereo efx, and/or two amp set ups. I’ll try it.

    The #1 Echo according to the video there from proguitar sounds like a great delay, I like the clean concept of it a lot. Newer style digital delays just don’t compare at all. I’ve used an old 70s MXR Analog delay for years, but just can’t get it repaired anymore, so I’ve been busy trying to find something to replace it with, #1 Echo looks like the best bet, Unfortunately I couldn’t see anything on their videos that demonstrated anything like a “full double tracking effect”? Are there any other resources to hear what the #1 Echo will do to produce that effect?

    Thanks Again,

    I’m sure someone somewhere has a demo of it. You can get the effect with any delay pedal simply by turning the delay time to very short.
