MPC 9 - Octave Box
Review by Steve H The instruction sheet states that the MPC9 module is "a compact state of the art device using the latest in integrated circuit technology and provides the MPC guitar player with the ability to play one full octave below the normal guitar pitch.". The control on the guitar acts as a blend control- full up gives you guitar with a bit of low octave mixed in, full counter clockwise gives all sub octave, with just a bit of guitar mixed in. I like it set around 8-ish, with a nearly equal mix of each. It only tracks one note at a time, and is sometimes a little glitchy. First position playing works best on bridge pickup (#4), around the 12th fret tracks better on the neck pickup (#2). Sounds great driving into a gainy amp or the distortion/fuzz box of your choice. Review by Webmaster I don't know much about the technical side, but I can tell you this is one of the cooler sounding modules. I found that you can pretty much emulate a bass guitar on the low strings on the first 5 frets. |
