CELEBRITY PEDALS Taylor Shift Octave + Low Pass Filter (Handmade and Analog)

Brand new version of a modern classic. This pedal is essentially the one octave down circuit of the 80’s Boss Japanese Octaver but with the addition of filter (which effects the octave signal) and an improved clean/direct knob based on our clean boost.

At 12 o clock the filter switch is much like your standard Octave. Turn clockwise for more of a low mid bump, to cut through the mix and turn anti-clockwise to destroy the PA.

Key Features:

• Authentic OC-2 Roots – Classic octave-down circuit with modern clarity and stability
• Low-Pass Filter – Shape your octave tone: roll off the highs for a warm, subby bottom end or crank it for bright, mix-cutting texture.
• Improved Clean/Dry Signal – Retains your original tone for blend or solo performance.
• True Bypass & Handmade Analogue Circuitry – Preserves signal integrity and offers boutique quality.
• Dual Instrument Compatibility – Stays tight on thick bass lines and articulate on guitar leads.

Why Players Love It:

On forums like Basschat, users highlight how the Taylor Shift delivers classic octave tones with none of the clipping or glitch issues found in older OC-2s—especially with active or hot-passive basses. One bassist shared:

“It’s super smooth, doesn’t glitch much, and tracks low on my basses…The dry signal boost is so good I sometimes use it as a clean boost when I don’t need the octaver.”Basschat

Creative Uses:

• Deep Bass Sub-Octaves: Dial in a low-pass filter for those rumbling sub layers that sit perfectly under a mix.
• Ambient Guitar Tones: Use octave drop plus filter to craft lush, atmospheric textures.
• Mix-Friendly Rhythm: Engage clean blend for clarity, then switch to full octave for standout riffs.
• Stack Magic: Pair with overdrive or fuzz (like the Fuzzbulla) for fat, yet defined octave-saturated tones.

Tech Specs:

📄 Pro Tip: Engage the low-pass filter at around 12 o’clock for the classic octave character; dial back to really “destroy the PA” if you're chasing that modern vibe.
