Behringer Octave Divider
Behringer · pedal
The Behringer Octave Divider is an analog pedal cloning the classic 1970s Mu-Tron Octave Divider circuit, delivering sub-octave bass tones alongside a Ringer ring-modulator mode. Controls cover Mix, Tone, and a Ringer toggle. The sub-octave mode produces a warm, thick octave-down tone with clean tracking and low noise, while the Ringer adds gnarly upper-harmonic content suited to Neil Young-style tones and experimental ring-modulator textures. It undercuts the four-figure cost of an original Mu-Tron unit substantially.
