True bypass. VU meter. Input level control.

Sub-Octave Plus Pedal with True Bypass Switching
This earth-shattering pedal generates a note one octave below the note being played, at the same volume and based on the waveform of the original signal. By blending the sub-octave note with the original signal, bass players can move from a subtle reinforcement of the sound to truckloads of bone-crushing tone. As a further Plus, distortion can be added to the sub-octave note, with the amount and tonal characteristics of the distortion both adjustable by the player.

The pedal is housed in a durable metal case and features an input level control with a trademark illuminated Ashdown VU meter to allow optimum signal matching from any instrument -- active or passive. The pedal also features an output level control -- essential for obtaining the perfect balance between the effect and the true bypass mode.

"LOOKS GREAT BUT REALLY TOTAL CRAP"

Overall: 0.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I totally hated this pedal i returned it the same day i got it. Totall waste of money.
Sound
lower notes don't even register. Higher notes do. BUT if your doing tapping or chords it tracks super slow. Even 2 note chords ar slow. And the distortion feature sounds like total cheese. So disapointing.
Features
In writing this pedal seems super cool. Awsome features. But in reality it was a big let down.
Ease of Use
Super easy to use. To bad its horrible.
Quality
This pedal is actually built very well. Looks solid. Except the on/off switch makes a clinking noise when you step on it.
Value
The price seemed fair and about average compaired to similar pedals. But once you try it you will realize the pedal is horible and not worth a penny.
The Wow Factor
Pedal looks cool. Too bad it sounds like total crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
