I’ve been listening to Neil Young most of the day and after listening to ‘hey hey, my my’ for the hundredth time. I’m thinking I need an octave pedal (preferably a couple of octaves range) can anyone point me in the right direction?
I just got a DOD octoplus and I'm pretty happy with it. Only drops one octave though but it allows you to meld it with clean sound in neat ways.

To be honest, 2 octaves down sounds pretty shit unless it's used lightly alongside 1 octave down as well as the dry signal (ala Boss OC-2 and it's clones).
The Behringer octaver is definitely good bang-fer-buck, especially if you just want to mess around with it rather than have it as a main ingredient of your sound.

Check out the octron from foxrox I would love to get this pedal at some point but I think I need to get some other shit before I deal with an octave pedal. Like a delay pedal first lol

Word. Yeah man that pedal is the only octave pedal I heard that really caught my attention. I tried the boss one and it was fun to screw with in the store but I wouldnt buy it. The micro pog just sounds like crap to me for some reason. The regular pog is cool and all that you can create organ sounds and stuff but I would never have any use for that and the octave up and down by themselves didnt do anything for me really. The octron just sounded right to me. I dont know.

Ok, I was in Falkirk of all places today and one of the shops had a (SECOND HAND) Danelectro DJ-12 Chilidog Octave for £12, but it wasn’t a music shop at was a cash converter type thing. So i had no way of trying the pedal. I wasn’t sure if these old plastic dano pedals were any good so i haven’t bought it (yet) has anyone tried one?

They're pretty good, but obviously not polyphonic like the POGs are. I've read they track a bit better than the Boss OC-2, but it'll still work best with the neck pickup above the 3rd fret.

Isn't Hey Hey, My My just gallons of sludgy fuzz into an overdriven Fender amp?

I always thought it was his Mutron octave divider + fuzz
