Well this looks interesting. Lots going on under the hood given the size. Not too much bass content yet, but the demos I've watched sound really good. Robert Keeley, like Brian Wampler, are great at their craft and a lot of their circuits work equally well on guitar and bass. This is one of those pedals that you may have to treat as another instrument altogether to a degree. Sure looks like fun though.

I was looking at this the other day. Def looks cool. I'd like to hear what some of the bass guys on YT would do with it. I already have a whammy, pitcfork as well as fuzz and muff. So I'm not sure I'd want/need this one. But depending on how it sounds and how the exp interacts with it, I'm still intrigued.

This looks interesting. I was just checking it out on their website. I wish Keeley would separate their their bass and guitar effects for an easier search. It looks like on the website, this is geared for guitarists.

I’m definitely interested in hearing more about this. Octave up is very important to me. I have to play a lot of melody lines in a quartet and it’s nice to kick octave up on to cut. I currently use the OC-5. This is by far my favorite right now. It has the least synthetic digital attack. I dirty it up with a grizzly bass and smooth it with a Dispatch Master. I run those 3 pedals in a loop for a one click lead sound. Anyway, I’m pretty intrigued by the Octo Psi. I think it comes down to how well that blend works for dialing in the bass for us. If the fuzz doesn’t work for bass, this pedal will obviously be useless for us. Some of the short clips out now sound fun though. Maybe I’ll just order one and give it a shoot out.
