Designed specifically for bass guitar, Octavius Squeezer has true analog reconfigurable signal path technology, true bypass switching and a comprehensive array of analog synth, octaver, fuzz, envelope filter and other effects driven by a convenient digital preset system. With all this plus tuner and metronome in a size that fits in your gig bag, this is one pedal you simply can’t afford to be without!

Octavius Squeezer includes a dedicated filter circuit bred in our Agent 00Funk and Agent 00Funk Mark II envelope filters. It also includes the fuzz circuit from our Brown Dog gated bass fuzz. A multi-range digital pitch tracking stage tracks the notes you play right down to the bottom of your instrument’s range and drives an analog synthesizer which can produce various waveforms at either the same pitch as your input, one octave down, one octave up or two octaves up. All of this can be patched, mixed and configured in a variety of ways to give an enormous array of available effects.

FEATURES

• Designed for bass guitar.
• Wide range of synth, octaver, envelope filter, fuzz and other effects.
• True bypass – input is connected directly to output by a mechanical relay when switched off.
• True analog signal path with reconfigurable analog technology.
• 96 digital presets onboard.
• SD card socket (SD card not included), allows you to save/load additional presets, upgrade firmware.
• Analog two pole lowpass and bandpass filter circuit.
• Analog fuzz circuit.
• Multi-range digital pitch tracking.
• Analog waveform synthesis.
• One octave down, one octave up and two octaves up synthesis.
• Runs from a single 9V battery or external power supply (not included).
• Convenient form factor includes no-tools battery drawer.
• Sturdy steel case finished in an eye-catching red.
• Two user-assignable foot switches.
• Two digital control knobs.
• Backlit 2 line, 16 character LCD.
• Blinking tempo LED.
• Auxilliary output for click tracks and Agent 00Funk Mark II envelope input.
• Tuner.
• Metronome and beat-locked effects with tap tempo mode.
• Effects can be organised into banks for easy selection.
• Additional effects planned in future firmware updates.
• Lovingly manufactured in Australia.

CONNECTIONS

The Octavius Squeezer has four connectors on the back:

• input – signal from your instrument comes in here.
• aux – provides a separate click track output or connects to the envelope input on the Agent 00Funk Mark II.
• output – signal goes out to your amplifier here.
• 9vdc – plug in a regulated 9V DC 2.1mm supply here.

CONTROLS

• Turn the effect control to switch between presets. Push it to enter the menu system.
• Push the param control to toggle which parameter of the current effect you want to edit. Turn it to adjust the
• current parameter. The exchange knobs menu option lets left-handed players switch the function of the effect and param controls so that they don’t obscure the LCD with their hand when switching effects.
• Click the right footswitch to toggle between effect and bypass mode, indicated by the active LED. Hold down the right footswitch to enter tap tempo mode. The tempo LED blinks to show the current tempo.
• Use the left footswitch to switch between the effects in the currently active bank. Hold both footswitches down to enter muted tuning mode.

The Frostwave Resonator is a self ossicilating, high and low pass filters with cutoffs that is fully voltage controllable. More accurately it is a true all analogue clone of the Korg MS20 Sythesizer filter section.http://www.zamplr.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/the-frostwave-resonator.gif

The Frostwave Resonator is a very versatile analog filter. It can take any weedy sample, loop, mix or instrument and give it some fat analog tone or some crunchy lofi grit.

It can create filter sweeps, from subtle to extreme, generate booming sub bass, and take any standard instrument or signal and give it an “analogue” sounding treatment- run a flat drummachine or sound loop via the resonator and you will get big analog drums and samples on the other side….

The Resonator can also self ossicate, creating spacey, atmospheric sounds on it’s own without any input source. Combined with other effects some amazing and unique sounds can be generated.

The Funk-a-duck is an incredibly versatile and dynamic effect. The ‘Envelope’ is volume controlled, so when the signal you put through such as a guitar strum, drum loop or bassline reaches a certain volume the envelope will flip open and send the signal via the filter (which you can switch between high pass and low pass), cutting off the filter abrubtly when the volume lowers.

This creates an excellent resonant analog “auto wah” effect which sounds as amazing on electronic drum loops, as it does on guitars, basses and keyboards.
