General Information
This Boss pedal, is like most other octave pedals that came out in the 1980s. It is best played one note at a time, either to thicken melody runs, or on solos. If more than one note is played, the note tracking circuitry of the pedal has a hard time, and it tends to sound more like garbage than like multi-octave chords being played.
