Octave UP pedals ?

[Ro S]

Please can people identify octave up pedals for me, or pedals that include an octave up effect (althgough not fuzz-octave pedals).

Thanks

I can only think of one exclusively octave pedal that includes an octave up effect, but it's not been made for a long time.

Can any of the Boss pitch shifter pedals also be used to do octave up?

Micro Pog.

Pretty sure the Boss OC-3 does both up and down. has a bass input too.

Thinks it's just dry and down.

the boss pitch shifter or the cheaper behringer pitch shifter work fine for octave up, i use the behringer for octave up combined with a fuzz and that gets a bit more wacky sounding than most traditional octave up fuzzes, the feature where you can set it so it does your octave up or down only when you put your foot on the pedal is great too


there might be some good tsuggestions in this thread too

+1 on the behringer, best value pedal I have owned. I belive the model is Called US600.

I'd definitely go along with the Behringer pitchshifter, especially given it's the sort of effect you're likely to use only a few times in a set. It's a little more shrill than the Boss PS-5 it copies, but when it's being run before your distortion (where it should be), you really wouldn't be able to tell the different.

However, for clean, fully polyphonic octaving (the Behringer/PS-5 is either gonna be glitchy or wobbly, depending on the mode), you can't go wrong with a Micro POG.

Man I love the behringer after dirt!

The EHX Ring Thing has an extremely good pitchshifter included. Also, the POG2 is right up your dirty bumstreet.

Why don't you buy them both and try to fit them in your mouth along with your foot?

This guy uses this one with another pedal but just uses the octave pedal towards the end of the video. [youtube][/youtube]

I sure like it dirty.

My feet are size twelve so I might not be able to oblige.

Re: MicroPog - I worry about the smaller size EHX pedals in case I damage any knobs with my big feet. I have the small Pulsar but I think perhaps I should've gone for the older, bigger one.

I guess it depends on yer usage- while it's a lot more pronounced after distortion, it doesn't track as well, plus it can get painfully loud since its output isn't being clipped by the dirt box.

You must be quite an excitable player- I wear 12s too and have never worried about such a thing with either my Micro POG, or the Pulslar I owned until recently. I turn the Micro POG on and off a LOT in one of my bands, and I don't think I've ever even nudged one of the knobs, let alone accidentally boot it off.

Cast yon gaze downwards before slamming your clodhoppers towards the pedalboard and you should be okay

Maybe you should play them barefoot. I have large feet backed up by being exceptionally heavy (my brothers have to lever me out of bed in the morning with a pair of oars), and to top it all off I wear big hobnail boots thanks to my job kicking the teeth out of the heads of pig carcasses so an apple may be placed in the mouth ready for cooking, but I've never managed to physically force the footswitch through the metal casing of the pedal. I also tend to look very carefully at where I'm standing because my SIZE 19 FEET used to kill small cats that got in my way back in my younger, less careful days.

I once stepped on an owls throat.

I also have large hands.

Am I macho, now?

nope.. I knew this very large guy once that actually put his foot down so hard that he .....*

Although the point's been driven home so hilariously already, I can't resist adding that even Rick Danko in his later years could happily trod upon any of the Electro-Harmonix XO series pedals without fear.

Go for the Micro POG.
