Badass Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Guy is there such a pedal that has switchable up and down octaves? i.e. two foot switches to control whether I use the up octave or the down or combine them. So maybe three foot switches Looked at the POG but only one foot switch, on or off. It does what I want, but I'd need two of them.

tonyxtiger Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Try the foxrox octron 2. It does that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badass Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Thanks I'll checkout some reviews and sound demos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Checkout the T1M modded POG, you can buy direct, with him adding the mod for you. Gives you two presets, one per footswitch. IMO, the POG is the best octave up out there, and the octave down is good, but not on par with the OC2, which is the only reason I don't have a T1M modded one. http://this1smyne.com/shop/micropogpresetmod/ Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuco Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 No diss to you Si but I found the POG to sound weedy and real artificial with a noticable latency... Horses/courses. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horses/courses. Peace. [/quote] None taken All octave ups sound artificial, but to my ears, the POG sounds the least of all of them (Whammy aside). Weedy, hmmm, not sure about that, but then I don't think I'd want anything that overpowers the original signal?! Depends on the application I guess . The low octave is definitely weedy compared to the OC2. Boyo from Royal Blood gets a decent sound from them (albeit POG 2 rather than Micro POG).

NoirBass Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) The Octron 2 is brilliant. It's very different from the POG though as its all analogue. The octave down is full and thick and the tracking is great. As the octave up is analogue too there is an inherent distortion present. You can adjust the amount / tone with internal trimmers. I'm a big fan of the POG also, but as its digital the octave down is much thinner sounding. The octave up however is clean as a whistle and almost totally glitch free. Someone clever needs to build a unit with an oc-2 style analogue octave down, but with a POG type digital octave up. That would sell!
