01Overview

Octaver 82 recreates the sound of a classic early-1980s monophonic octaver pedal in software. It layers pitched-down tones one and two octaves beneath the original signal, which can thicken guitars, basses and other single-note sources. Because the effect is monophonic, it tracks one note at a time, so chords come out scrambled. Audiority also modified the original circuit, adding overdrive, envelope filtering and synth-like tones to the mix.

Sound and Pedal Circuits

Octaver 82 is modeled on the BOSS OC-2, a monophonic octaver from the early 1980s. The developer describes the pedal technique as very primitive yet innovative for its time, which makes clean and precise playing important for the best results.

Six pedal circuits let you switch between different octaver characters. Audiority also changed the circuit to add overdrive, envelope filtering and gnarly synth tones beyond the original design.

Controls and Workflow

Two octave-down controls set the level of the lower tones, one octave and two octaves below the input. Pre and post effect gain controls let you shape the level before and after processing, and a mix control blends the effect with your dry signal.

Detector Tracking adjusts how the plugin follows the incoming pitch. The interface is resizable, so you can enlarge it for easier editing.
