I'm trying to get my Digitech Quad4 to play an octave lower than the string I hit. It will do it, but it insists on mixing in the original (higher) note with it. I've been through all the editing of the patch that I can find, and can't seem to find a way to shut out the original note (if I set it to 0%, it also shuts off the note an octave-below; I guess it needs enough of the original note to create the new, lower note). Would a Boss octave pedal, or some other device, work any better at giving just the transposed, lower note, without hearing the original note mixed in?
Thanks,
Jim

Jim ,

While I cannot answer your question , I do use the Digitech Quad Four . I would suggest you e-mail Gerry Walker ( gdwalker@mei.ws)
with your question . He programs these units
when he sells them with his Stereo Steel Combos and I'll bet he could help you with what you are trying to do .

He is a nice guy to visit with on the phone also . His phone number a/c/ 619- 460- 5008.

Sorry I could not help but I bet he can .

Good luck.

John

Thanks,

I have a Boss octave Box which has a volume control for the original note, one octave lower, and two octaves lower. (three seperate volume controls). You can buy these used at most music stores (or on ebay I guess) for about 45 bucks. It works only for single note stuff, multi note input produces distortion (not the desired kind). I have only used this for six string. Regards,Fred

Thanks, Fred. Can you confirm that it is possible to turn OFF the original note volume and hear only one or both of the others?

Jim, I can confirm this for you, but not until next weekend. In the meantime you could probably check one our at your local music store. They almost always have one.
