Quick Start Guide
Thank you for purchasing this QUEEQUEG 2 Sub Octave Generator. We hope you get

This simple connecting guide should help start you on your journey to sonic
creativity. However, if you wish to know all of the pedal’s hidden secrets,
you can find more info on the product page at:
Some quick usage examples:
Thicken up your tone slightly by switching to the -I Octave mode, setting the
MIX between 9 o’clock and noon. You can also stack with a low to mid-gain Fuzz
or a chorus pedal to liven up the resulting tone even further. Alternatively,
you can transform your chords into a glitchy random analog mess with MIX
settings around 50%.
For truly earth-shattering sub-sonic rumbles, set the Octave to -II and adjust
the Mix to be above 50%. Complement this setting with a gritty drive pedal or
an overdriven amp for immense rock lead sounds. For bass, this setting can
work well across the board but be more prominent above the 12th fret.
So, you’re a guitarist and your band’s bass player isn’t available. A quick
and dirty solution to fill in that low end could be by setting the Octave
Selector to -I and putting the MIX to 100% Octave. To adjust the tone, switch
between your guitar’s pickups or roll off the tone knob to taste. Go to the
-I/-II setting if you are filling in for a sub-synth bass part. If you want to
turn your guitar or bass into a rumbling sub-synth monster, set the Octave
Selector to -I/-II and adjust the MIX to how you like it. This setting also
perfectly pairs with envelope filters, for added synthy resonance sweeps. Bass
players probably should adjust the MIX down a bit lower here though, to reign
in those boomy lows.
