Set Power Mode
Octavius Squeezer has a sophisticated power management system
which lets you trade off battery life against sound quality. If you
want your battery to last as long as possible, it’s a good idea to set
the Power setting to medium or low. Do it like this:

Optimise for Your Instrument
Different bass guitars can produce vastly different volume levels.
Some adjustment is therefore necessary to get the best results with
your Octavius Squeezer.
You’ll probably find you need to adjust the Track sens. parameter on
the Settings menu to get the best pitch-tracking performance with
your instrument. You’ll almost certainly need to turn it down if you
play an active bass with a hot output.
The VCF sens. parameter, also on the Settings menu provides a
global sensitivity adjustment for all the effects that use an envelope
follower, so that you don’t need to change the parameters of all your
effects when you plug in a new instrument. You’ll also want to turn
this down if you play a hot active bass.
