octave up pedals.. would like one, as small as possible

&good


anyone have one ? i wonder if it works with chords and how (on the demo vid the dude only plays single notes at the 12th fret and double stops)

i know the octane is an octave up fuzz like the fulltone ultimate octave whereas the johnny octave is a double octave up, would be cool to have one without fuzz

any other boxes i should be looking at ?

You can't really play them with chords . The fender blender you can to a certain extent but that's to do with the clean mix knob.

but if you would what does it sound like, metallic ?

i wish i could find a store here that has one in stock to test it, i'm giving my pedalboard a facelift




blue box and big muff or out, the oc2's gonna go too


i'm also on the lookout for a smaller delay pedal, the red repeat sounds wonderful but it's such an annoying shape and it's darn heavy

MXR Carbon Copy?

I agree with Hurb, try a Fender Blender lots of fun

This is my fender blender clone demo

I think there's chords played on it.

i've tried the blender, it takes lots of time to get good sounds, i hate that, i'm not patient

plus it's always a fuzz no ? a clean octave up would be a nicer (/edit, check the vid, clean blend..right, i'm stupid)


what's tha tmxr thing mike ?

A clean octave up would be like a pitch shifter like the boss ps series or a whammy or summit.

Guyatone MD-3 for the delay. I have one, it's small and great.
I did a demo ages ago: Guyatone MD-3 Digital Delay demo

New small box Analog Delay:



trim pots inside for modulation depth and rate, switch on the front for on/off

It looks lovely


The MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay features a completely analog audio path for the ultimate in rich, warm delay-made possible only by old-school bucket brigade technology. This design boasts an amazing 600ms of delay time with optional modulation via a top-mounted switch and a simple, three-knob layout that controls Delay time, Mix (dry/wet blend), and Regen (delay repeats)-all in a pedal no bigger than a Phase 90. In addition, two internal trim pots offer user-adjustable width and rate control of the modulation for even more tonal options. The Carbon Copy will take you from crisp "bathroom" slap echoes to epic, Gilmour-esque delays with a twist of a knob. True hardwire bypass, single 9-volt operation, and stage-ready blue LEDs round out the package.

This pedal is ace. If you want longer delay defo go for this one.

yeah, guyatones are nice, simple and cheap, too bad it's so hard to find them over here, will look around, mxr delay look promising, is it out yet ? price ?

nah, whammies... i want something that sounds more organic, less synthy

and the bathroom slap echo in the mxr description i like.. i don't use long delays on guitar, more like inbetween a reverb and echo

It's fairly new, a NAMM product, so I dunno I'm afraid.

I don't know that it exists

pog maybe.

micropog?

pogs are huge, and synthy and €€€ ! it's too complex too, i don't need all those sliders

I'm at a loss then haha
the micro pog like mike says may be better.

some of the solos on those BORIS albums are played with an octave up and it sounds great, cuts through better and it still sounds like a guitar, not like a synth kicking in

i keep watching this vid:

..and i try to come up with a reason to spend 200 on a pedal, i did it for the sansamp (250) but i'm selling that so it'll be like a trade, this box seems like it's closest to what i'm after but it sucks i can't try it myself
