TC Electronic SUB 'N' UP MINI OCTAVER Compact Version of Hugely Popular Sub 'N' Up Octaver with Advanced Polyponic Octave Engine and TonePrint-Enabled Technology for Easy Custom Effects

Amazon sent a replacement unit and it works great. I'm changing my review to 5 stars... both for the customer service I received and for the unit itself. For what it is, it does the job and sounds good. My original review is below. I just got this pedal and it will not recognize a Toneprint beam from my iPhone 5c. I've tried multiple guitars and multiple pickups. The Subnup is the only thing in the signal chain. I've tried using both the phone's speakers and headphones (both earbuds and standard headphones). I've tried multiple Toneprints. Nothing is working. I can't try using USB because apparently TC Electronic’s Toneprint Editor is not supported on my system (Mac OS 10.10.5). I'm at my wits end and ready to return this thing.

The TC SubNUp Mini is good, but it's not great. The controls are smooth and linear, the build quality is high. Does what it's supposed to do. If you like TC's TonePrint system, then this unit fits right in there with a selection of pre-made celebrity sounds. My reservations about the SubNUp Mini are about the mushiness of the lower octave, getting super mushy if you select a 2-octave-down patch from TonePrint. If you want octave up or synthy, organy sounds then you'll be happy with the SUbNUp Mini. But my primary interest is heavy octave down and 2-octave-down guitar riffs, and the mushiness kills me. Personally, I'm looking for a different octave experience.

This is a FANTASTIC octave pedal, there so many sounds that can be created , octaves , organ, piano beautiful and a small pedal ! I am loving it!!

A great octave pedal. Easy to use and with the tone print technology, you can load some really cool presets or tweak them to your own needs. Note: Like most pedals, there is a slight learning curve to getting the right settings. I was frustrated at first as I couldn't get exactly what I was hearing in my head. But the more I used it, and really got familiar with the tone print editor. I got the ideal setting that made this a great addition to my pedal board.

Out of the box, it works perfectly and sounds great. It is an octaver pedal and nothing more. Do not, I repeat do not usb into the thing with their SW and try to get more out of it. It ruins the pedal. You will never get the default sound back. There is no support and no fix.

Caveat emptor, the pedal isn't bad but has a serious flaw once the tone print feature is introduced. Just on its own it works well, the octaves track well and sound good, didn't blow me away but operates as advertised. The issue is all of the tone print options for the pedal started with the original Sub n Up which has 2 sub options, 1 octave below and 2 octaves below. Therefore as soon as you use any of the tone print sounds there is a 2 octave below tone that is turned on but there is no corresponding knob on the mini pedal to adjust it. And it doesn't matter which tone print option you choose, it won't go away. If the pedal is physically plugged into a computer the ability to turn down the 2 octave sub volume is in the edit options, so you can sort of reset it, but you can't use the tone print option wirelessly again without bringing back the 2 octave sub again. If the tone print software worked correctly on this I would be happy with the pedal at this price, but when one of the main features of this pedal introduces a tone I don't want and can't adjust on the fly I had no choice but to return it.

Great product, great value!!!

So I've purchased three budget mini octave pedals thus far - two have done the job, one has been an absolute disgrace, but of the two that worked (This pedal and the Donner Harmonic Square), only the Donner has been completely idiot-proof and produce near perfect results, if a bit delayed. This one, however, has a bit of a rabbit hole to go down... I'm a bassist, let's start there. So I'm not using this to go an octave lower, but an octave HIGHER, while giving me the ability to keep my bass sound and add a guitar line over the top of what I'm playing to fill in for the rhythm guitarist my band doesn't have. The Donner tracks that and gives a clean representation of an octave above with no fuss, and just a slight delay - the Sub n' Up is faster, with a few quirks. By default the sound is pretty heavily effected; there appears to be some weird EQ going on and the pedal "barks", as best I can describe it - the sound that goes in when you're pitching an octave up has to be processed QUICKLY, resulting in a pretty extreme envelope filter as the frequencies get sorted out. At least that's what I THINK is happening. Regardless it's not perfect to begin with so I dove into the toneprint software, available for free for Mac or PC on TC's website, and it's pretty insane what you can get into with this pedal. After two hours or so I'd turned the simple up/down/dry octave volume pedal into an overdrive, cabinet simulator, and boost, all at once. And that's without even getting into the modulation options like flanger or chorus. Right now I have the pedal setup using no sub octave, instead using that knob as a drive knob, and the upper octave has some particular EQ settings to make the sound play nice with my bass. These simple fixes have made it possible for me to play bass and rhythm guitar simultaneously, eliminating about five other pedals from my board in the process. The possibilities are endless - but you'll have to work for them. If you're looking for an inexpensive, accurate, simple pitch pedal - get the Donner Harmonic Square. But if you want to be able to take a simple effect and mangle it to do the completely outlandish and undeniably YOU, this is the one.

Toneprints'deki Polyphonic organ generator ve Mark Lettieri modellemeleri inanılmaz kaliteli ve özgün, satın almayı düşünüyorsanız youtube'a yazdığınızda çıkıyor. Sadece bir oktav pedalı olarak aldım ama tonlar beklediğimin aşırı derecede üzerinde etkileyici.

Nella scatolina di cartone si trova il pedale, il manuale ed un adesivo, mentre il pedale è completamente in metallo, con collegamenti Input e Output, un footswitch di attivazione, tre potenziometri per Sub, Up e Dry, una porta mini usb e una presa per l’alimentazione a 9V. All’apparenza sembra un semplice octaver polifonico con i controlli per regolare il volume dell’ottava bassa, dell’ottava alta e del segnale pulito, il suono è buono così come il tracking della nota anche suonando accordi, quasi ai livelli del POG, ma c’è sempre un suono di una seconda ottava bassa miscelato al suono dell’ottava alta che, soprattutto sul registro più grave da abbastanza fastidio. Decido allora di collegarlo al software di editing TonePrint (lo stesso dello SpectraComp) e vedere cosa si può fare, scopro effettivamente che nel preset di fabbrica sull’ottava alta c’è il suono miscelato della seconda ottava bassa, vado a rimuoverlo completamente, salvo la patch, la carico sul pedale e ora l’octaver suona come volevo. Andando a spulciare il software vedo che i preset sono gli stessi per il Sub’n’Up normale, inoltre tra le opzioni scopro che è possibile programmare il pedale aggiungendo modulazioni, overdrive, eq e tanti altri parametri che lo rendono versatilissimo, addirittura riprogrammando i potenziometri in modo che operino diversamente, o su più parametri contemporaneamente (fino a 3 per potenziometro) oppure anche la loro curva di escursione. Ad esempio mi sono poi fatto una patch dove ho solo suono dry e octave up, mentre il potenziometro dell’ottava bassa aggiunge e regola un distorsore solo sull’ottava alta, ma è possibile aggiungere un flanger, o la distorsione su tutte le ottave, modificare l’equalizzazione di un ottava che non suona bene, o fare in modo che un potenziometro regoli contemporaneamente il volume di tre ottave. Una volta fatte le patch e caricate sull’app sarà possibile cambiare al volo il suono con la funzione beam, avvicinando lo smartphone al pickup dello strumento.

This pedal has added a new dynamic to my acoustic sound. It has a presence that fills in that little missing bit. I have it turned to a level that the bass is in nice sync with the acoustic guitar and gives a pleasing blend of sound. It can produce a 12 string type of harmonic but I personally don't use it for that. Works well and seems very well made.

まず、思った通りにならないのがオクターバーと理解した上で、あれこれ弄っていると妙にハマっちゃう事があります。他のエフェクターでも上手く行かない奴がありますよね。それを頭ごなしにbadマーク付けるんじゃなくて乗りこなす。 変わった奴なんでハマった時は離せなくなります。

Pedale ottimo e versatile. Intuitivo e facile da impostare. Spedizione rapida e imballo ok.
