The FKT Audio Octavarium is a seriously versatile bass pedal that combines three effects that work particularly well together: an analog sub-octaver, synth section, and envelope filter. The analog octave section is designed for fast, accurate tracking with a smooth, rounded character, while the independent clean, sub-octave, and synth controls let you decide exactly how much of each sound makes it into the mix.
The other half of the Octavarium is an envelope filter, giving the pedal a completely different set of sounds on its own. The filter section has controls for frequency, touch, volume, and wah, with its own footswitch, so it can be used independently from the octaver/synth side. Put the two sections together and the Octavarium can produce everything from funky filtered bass to thick, synth-like sounds that would normally require several pedals.
For bass players looking for more than a basic octave pedal, the Octavarium is an interesting all-in-one solution. It's especially useful for players who want analog octave tones, synth sounds, and envelope-filter effects without filling the pedalboard with separate boxes. FKT Audio builds its pedals by hand in Italy.
