When it comes tome to get an octave pedal, one of these may come my way cheaper than an OC-2 and I was hoping someone had used it and could compare it to the Boss octave.
MO-3 MICRO OCTAVER
The MO-3 Micro Octaver is a 100% analog octave divider based on a vintage 1970’s Guyatone circuit. The MO-3’s operation will vary greatly depending on input signal and playing dynamics. Featuring One Octave Down, Two Octaves Down, and Dry Blend, the MO-3 can create a wide variety of effects, from standard “doubling effects” to more bizarre synth-like tones reminiscent of such desirable vintage pedals as the MXR Blue Box and Mutron Octave Divider. If you are an experimental musician looking for a unique effect with tons of personality and a highly unpredictable nature, then the MO-3 is the pedal for you!
OCTAVE 1: Controls output level of 1-octave down effect.
DRY: Controls output level of Dry (unaffected input) signal.
OCTAVE 2:
Controls output level of 2-octave down effect.
FILTER SHIFT SWITCH – The different filter settings help tame the distortion effect and will change the response to note tracking by the MO-3’s octave circuit.
OFF – Filter is bypassed
F1 – Rolls off the distortion effect and improves tracking
F2 – Reduces the distortion effect by a degree of 2 over F1 setting.
PRE GAIN – Controls output level of preamp feeding into octave circuit, controlling degree of distortion effect and affecting octave tracking of unit.
This seems like a great little octave driver.
Between this, the OC-2 and the microPOG I might have some heavy decisions.
