here here...my wish isn't as specific as yours, but I like where you are going with that wish and I like that it was really specific. Almost foreshadowing-y.
It's really hard to tell if those Broughton T's would look good on us fans. The model is about 20 - 25 years too young for us to get a feel for what it's like.
This thread is dynamite. I love it! I have a Broughton HPF on my board and am now targeting a bunch of other ones. I hope to scoop up a Messenger and move my HPF to the front of my chain. Locust Star and the Para EQ look great too! Had I know about the Meastro in time, I would have jumped on it!
From what I’ve read, it doesn’t seem like the Broughton octave pedals do an octave up. Am I lost and misinterpreting the descriptions? Do they just do an octave down?
The bug has bitten me and now my pedal hoard is all nervous I’m going to sell some of them for some Broughtons…. Which I am.
Edit: Outside if the OC2 clone.

I’ve been requesting a multi octave pedal for years to no avail yet.
Similar to the EHX pitchfork.
Up down or both with blend and expression pedal output option.
Allow me to join the chorus on this one! That would be a super useful pedal. I need the octave up, more than down. The Synth octave look great though. I could probably write satisfying parts with it, but then I still need that octave up. Would be nice to have it all in one pedal.
OC5 is on my radar, but I’m trying to keep my board to mostly top jack pedals. I need that Broughton octave up / down pedal!!
Tåken or Romferd? Or one of the newer insane ones? I'm probably going to put my v1 Romferd up on Reverb.

I find the SVPre . . . though not technically an overdrive pedal . . . offers some of the best overdrive in the business for my tastes. I'm contemplating buying a second one so I can have a clean and dirty channel SVPre.
Analog "octave up" pedals are fairly rare. I say "octave up" in quotes because it's not uncommon for fuzzes to have octave up components to them. Digital octave up pedals are readily available, but the digital tone is not for everybody.
The only analog straight 8ve+ pedal that I'm aware of is the Earthquaker Tentacle. Their Fuzz Master General also has an octave up, but getting the 8ve+ by itself is a mode within the pedal and also gives you a good amount of drive which you may or may not want.
Analog 8ve+ tends to sound very ring-modulator-y and doesn't sound quite like if you just took and 8ve- pedal and shifted the tone up two octaves. It also doesn't work super well in the bass register; you have to play way up on the neck in order to get it to really come out.

Happily trending in my own peculiar direction.

It came to mind but I’ll never have one.
I’ve even offered helicopters but no bites.
