Multi effects with very good octaver

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a multi effects pedal with an amazing octaver effect in it. I thought about getting an octaver pedal and power supply but then I thought I might as well go with a multi as I don't really know what other effect(s) apart from the octaver would tickle my fancy. Thanks!

It's all subjective, but I think most modern multis have a pretty decent octave down effect. I use the one on my B3 to good effect at every show I do.

I've got the little sibling to the M13, the M5. Smaller footprint, but no looper — still has a smorgasboard of effects to try (one at a time) which is why I bought it... to see what I like and have a Swiss-Army pedal.

The models are:
Rocktave (an old Craig Anderton circuit with grit)
EBS Octabass (Good clean octave down)
Tycobrahe Octavia (which is octave-up fuzz, not what you want but I'm listing all the octave schtuff...just cuz)
Digitech Whammy (needs an expression pedal with a passive 10K Ohm mono linear taper pot to "Whammy"; it's basically the only pedal in the world that requires such an oddly configured expression pedal and thus a PITA. Link Removed )
I still like to use my M5 set on "Pitch Glide" (ie Digitech Whammy) without any expression pedal.

Very good delays & verbs, too.

Thanks for your reply. I am new to effects but I quite like the sound of an octave pedal.... we will see... :)
