Why settle for just octave down? I'm just about to grab a Foxrox Octron myself to add both up and down to a variety of fuzz pedals. Here come the thick riffs!

Which fuzzes have you stacked it with?

Ooof, you're disrupting my previously planned GAS with all new disruptive GAS.

GAS is a harsh mistress.

octave down + fuzz is my world....

my favorite(so far):


buzz box is ok
i recently got the perseus, and it sounds good, a couple of issues though(not for me but), it's an always on type of thing. if you engage it, there is a 1 sec. mute before it hits...
probably not the most musical. Also i wish the fuzz itself was adjustable...

one of the blue box threads has the volume correction solutions which makes it much more usable...
(someone could make a killing with a surface mount booster board)

i'll be keeping my eyes open for these other solutions...

I love the blue box and can get crazy. requires modding or boosting and whatnot but. ZING! and the fuzz side is tasty.
maybe an ehx octave multiplexer plus a fuzz?
or the mxr double octave one? that was pretty good when I had it. way more versatile as an octave down I thought. might get one again actually.
or the ehx microsynth. I'm still debating the flaws vs benefits of this beast. modded the hell out of it too.

This thread is hard to read because I'm pedge right now and I want all the octave pedals.

How do people feel about the Boss OC-2 and OC-3? How's the tracking?

OC-2>OC-3 tracking is really demanding on both insofar as you have to play to the octaver.

I really don't like those guys

Oc-2 is awesome, but may not be right for you if you need perfect tracking.

Guitar Disruptor is great...I need to use it more.

Octave Divider....cyber psychic is awesome with it...as is the 86 and Dizzy Tone (though the dizzy tone kinda looses some character, but it accents the punch in weird ways). Totally awesome (and thanks again!).

OC-2 is cool and sounds so nice on so many things. Tracking is fucked, but it just sounds so good and is easy to modify. Biggest problem I have experienced is the weird buffer/whatever that a lot of fuzzes do not love.

The LAL Gomorrah mit be my favorite pedal acquisition of 2015. I got a lot of great pedals last year, but it sounds so good on so many things even before it starts doing its glitchy downward spiral of sub occtave arpeggiation. It isn't like a blue box or whatever though where the octaving is just a constant state, though.

In general, I believe the analog digital debates are silly in most instances, and with octaving they both have strengths and weaknesses. I prefer to live with the weirder tracking of analog octave down effects, and would opt for a all in one if I was looking for octave down fuzz. If you wanted just the abilty to couple octave effects with different fuzzes, a POG would probably work.

Boss OC-2 and Big Muff alike makes for the silkiest tones ever.

http://www.cogeffects.co.uk/t-65-octave.php This and the smaller 1590a version seem like the best tracking analog octavers I've ever heard. I really want a T-65 for the octave up

Honestly in terms of octave tracking, I find you just gotta deal with glitches short of Eventide or fancy post-processing plugins.

my pitchfactor doesnt track nearly as well as i thought it would
best tracking i have come across is the newer bass whammy
