do they make... (octaver)

[Major_Rager_4MF]

Do they make an octave pedal that is:
- octave up and down in one pedal
- 2 switches: 1 controls upper octave on/off, 1 controls lower octave on/off so you can change on the fly with your feet without having to bend over and tweak knobs. so switches work to give you 4 combinations: up, down, both, neither
- maybe levels, but no other junk, keep the pedal small

I found a couple things that are close but not quite. T-rex makes this thing but as you can see, it's trying to do different hi/lo combinations on each channel, and the switches are A/B and on/off. Nope.

And there's some guys who do this to your POG for $99 but again way more going on there than i want.

Photoshop gets me, lol, like this

I can't be the only player who sometimes wants an octave up, sometimes down, very rarely both, usually neither, and wants it in 1 convenient compact pedal...

thanks if you know of anything!

Subbed. I would love this if it does exist. Especially if you can select independent clean blends on each octave.

@Major_Rager_4MF it's not super small, like 5"x5", but the Octron 2 has separate footswitches AND levels for up, down, AND dry, plus a 4th switch to bypass the whole pedal if you want. I keep kicking myself for selling the ones I've had.

Also very interested in something like this, thanks @DDXdesign for the heads up on the Octron. How is the octave up? On every octave pedal I've heard the octave up has an annoying tin/treble to it that I could never get over.

Doesn't the octron 3 basically do that too?
Smaller than the '2'.

He's looking for something with 2 switches, the Octron3 has just one switch.

 

[Kerem Koseoglu]

You can also achieve your goal with a Boss LS-2 and two distinct octave pedals. Not the cheapest solution though.

Aahh ok, must have missed that part, thanks!

 

[herndonbassist]

The Octron2 looks like a great solution! The price is a little steep, but it looks to do exactly what the OP wants.

No, the Octron 3 does not have a separate footswitch for the up & down octave. (edit: nevermind, I see that's been pointed out already)

Contact JHS or another builder directly about modding and existing pedal or creating this for you. Shouldn't be too difficult.

So the analog version of octave up is basically a rectified frequency doubler, yielding a hairy, octavia tone. I personally love it, but YMMV.

Modded pog - polyphonic answer
Foxrox 2 - analog answer

Cogeffects might be worth writing to on this.

Another option... and one that i would personally love -- the dual preset mod for a Micro or Nano Pog allowing you to have either lows or highs, or just any two different sounds.... but, I'm not 100% sure that you could turn on lows & highs with TWO DIFFERENT switches.

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]


EDIT************
Looks like this is an ON/OFF & A/B pair of switches. At first I thought it was On/Off & On/Off. I would love a modded pog with an On/Off (row 1) and On/Off (row 2)

 

[Systolic]

Could you just get a whammy and rock between octave up or octave down as needed?

 

[TrevorOfDoom]

That JHS is the closest thing I know of.
I'm sure they'd mod a POG for you to have On/Off switches for both octaves, and no master switch.

 

[StayLow]

Cool idea. Of course whatever nails the functionality may not nail the sound.

Two (or three) EHX Pitch Forks could do it, sound good and still be fairly small and cost competitive.

Using presets on the Mooer Tender Octaver Pro could be a reasonable compromise.

 

[warwicktor]

Get the Tender Octaver and you are done...up and down in a small pedal with awesome tracking!

 

[catcauphonic]

Side question related since it's been brought up several times... who does one inquire with to do these mods to various pedals??

But he wants a separate footswitch for up and for down. That's where the whole issue lies.
