There's not a lot of demo... and it's probably synthy.

I'm a Bit confused with your expectations:
Each pedal will have some Kind of artifical Touch to the octave down Sound*. If you Call that synthy, then good luck in finding a Pedal that doesn't.
All analog Pedals have issues with the Tracking below the (ca.) 7th fret. Are you aware of this?

E.g. I had a pog2: fucking hated its sound. Too artifical to me.
I Love the Second voice. There is a clean and a fuzz Mode.

*somewhere in the circuit Must the additional Sound Be generated. Analog stuff is more tight (tracking) but always a Bit artifical sounding.

Unfortunately, I think you're looking for the stuff octave pedal dreams are made of.

@univalve - how clean does your SV get? Mine has some grit/fuzziness in clean mode too. Are you getting clean, bass-sounding octaves??

Note: I do use HB pretty regularly though, could be the hotter signal :idk:

I just jam with my Octron... it's awesome with the octave up (ringmode mode).
Octron (ocatve up at 11 o'clock, direct at 3 o'clock and octave down at 2 o'clock) > Liquid Gain Hydra (overdrive) is awesome.
The Octron is a keeper I won't sell or trade it.

But I'm looking for someting to emulate a bass with good trackin (without been glitchy or synthy).

Maybe I'm dreaming.

And maybe I should get a real bass for my recording need. :lol:

the bass octaver model in the line 6 m series is pretty rad
also has ringmods and pitch glide.

You every think about just getting two pedals. Get a nice analog octave down, not too synth, like the MXR. And get a green ringer or green ringer clone for the ring mod like octave up.
