Leave the 12 string at home

Pete-plays-guitar 21.10.2017

Ok it will not replace a 12 string in a recording environment, but saying that, buried in a mix you really can't tell much difference between a 12 string electric and this .... as long as you don't go too high up the neck.
I also use this on acoustic guitar, where a little subtle use goes a long way. I put a TC spark in front to give it a bit more signal to play with and the results are really nice.
Be warned, this like the Digitech Luxe (one of my favourite pedals) are the 'older' current hungry pedals asking for 300mA, so if you have a 500mA power block it is a greedy little thing, which will starve your other pedals.
For playing live, it really can't be beaten, in terms of not having to lug around another guitar.
The main difference with this and an octaver is that the two top string are unison (+- a few cents for a chorusy feel), so you don't get that toy guitar sound on the high strings. Playing too high up the neck it does get a bit weird where very subtle is better.
All in all a very fun pedal and save a lot of hassle.
Highly recommended

Interesting pedal

corsair 23.10.2020

I got this pedal because I wanted to add the 'illusion' of a 12-string in our gigs. I wasn't going for a specific sound - just wanted to add some more options to my pallet. I haven't had a chance to try it in a live setting or even in rehearsal, so this review is about how it sounds on its own and not within a mix or a band (could be amazing, can't say). From my limited experience so far what I can say is that the extreme settings can sound less-than-stellar. If used with moderation, it gives indeed a good 12-string imitation. For me, this means the Tone setting between 9-10 o'clock and the Level between 13-15 o'clock depending on guitar and amp used (Level all the way clockwise can also sound interesting if going for a very pronounced effect). Overall I am quite happy with the sound, I guess in a live/band setting the small reservations that I have would be hidden in the mix.

Be prepared to tweak...

Richard aus Q. 22.10.2018

...and then you'll get a very convincing 12 string sound. The range of adjustments is not huge but that makes sense given the purpose of this pedal. I have owned three 12 strings in my life and I am familiar with the "behavior" of the 12 strings. The light chorus coming from impossible-to-tune 12 strings is there and at lower settings the high E and B strings are unisson like on the real thing. You won't get that from an octaver. Beautiful pedal!
Digitech makes cool stuff. I bought the Freq-out as well and it's equally brillant.

I get all my stuff from Thomann. They are the best!

In isolation, super fake 12 string effect. Digital artifacts and weird glitching...

HalfManHalfGear 19.07.2020

I really wanted to love this pedal as the up octave mode on Digitech's Whammy 5 has always impressed me and there isn't another pedal I know of that tries to imitate a 12 string like this. This pedal however has a strange glitchy feel to it, like the pedal is resetting itself while arpeggiating chords. It kind of sounds like it's trying to follow along by continually resetting itself with each new sustained note added to chords. The tone control goes someway to hide this and on monophonic phrases it sounds considerably better. However, for chordal use I felt the sound wasn't as great as I was expecting and could perceive a short delay (only a matter of milliseconds) when playing faster rhythms / strumming. I have heard that in a band mix these issues are considerably reduced and masked but I personally couldn't get past the fakeness of the sound. It's a fairly wide pedal by today's standards and requires a lot of power too. I felt I just couldn't justify a place on my pedal board for it and sent it back.
