Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The TC Electronic Sub 'N' Up is a polyphonic octave pedal from Aarhus, Denmark, generating simultaneous sub-octave, dry, and up-octave voices for thick, full-range octave textures that track full chords, not just single notes. Its polyphonic engine tracks chords and fast runs with clear, glitch-free accuracy, so even a low sub-octave under a full chord stays defined rather than turning to mud. A separate Classic mode switches to old-school monophonic octave shifting for players who want the more vintage, single-note-only octave character. TonePrint technology lets players load artist-designed presets or use TonePrint to blend in modulation, organ-like tones, flanging, or overdrive alongside the octave voices for more eclectic textures. It suits bass players and guitarists wanting genuinely usable polyphonic octave thickening and shimmer on chords, not just leads, plus the flexibility to fall back to a classic monophonic octave voice when that's the better fit.
The TC Electronic Sub 'N' Up Mini is a compact polyphonic octave pedal that distills the mammoth tones of the full Sub 'N' Up into a pedalboard-friendly format. It blends three signals, a sub-octave (one or two octaves down), an octave up, and the dry tone, via Sub, Up, and Dry controls, with excellent polyphonic tracking that handles chords with surprising clarity and no noticeable latency or glitchy artifacts. It tracks single lead lines flawlessly and even chords impressively, and TonePrint support lets players load custom or artist octave settings for deeper tweaking. From thick organ-like layers and synth textures to subtle octave reinforcement, it suits guitar and bass players wanting clean, versatile polyphonic octaves for rock, funk, worship, and experimental styles in a small enclosure.
