TC Electronic SUB N UP MINI OCTAVER Specification

The TC Electronic SUB N UP MINI OCTAVER is a compact, high-performance pitch-shifting effects unit designed for musicians seeking versatile octave effects in a pedalboard-friendly format. This mini pedal delivers both polyphonic and monophonic octave effects, enabling a wide range of sonic possibilities from rich, layered textures to classic octave-down effects.

At the core of the SUB N UP MINI OCTAVER is TC Electronic's advanced polyphonic octave engine, which provides precise and glitch-free tracking. This engine allows users to simultaneously add one octave above and one octave below the original input signal, creating full and harmonically rich sounds. The pedal features intuitive controls, including a knob for blending the dry signal with the octave effects, thus offering seamless integration into any setup.

A notable feature of the SUB N UP MINI is its compatibility with TC Electronic's TonePrint technology. This allows users to load custom effect profiles through the TonePrint app, enabling a vast array of sound customization options beyond the pedal's standard settings. The TonePrint functionality provides access to artist-designed tones and the ability to create personalized effects using the TonePrint Editor software.

Despite its small size, the pedal is built with robust components to ensure durability and reliability on stage or in the studio. It operates on a standard 9V DC power supply and features true bypass switching to maintain signal integrity when the effect is not engaged. The SUB N UP MINI OCTAVER is ideal for musicians who require a compact, versatile, and high-quality octave solution without sacrificing valuable pedalboard space.
