Oh I was looking just at the standalone pedal. I'd definitely email Ryan and ask if he can do the analog octave as a mod to any of his dirts. I'm sure he'd be into it

I had a green ringer clone for a while (traded it since). I loved it!! really a wild little effect when you put it through the 'ringer'. I'd really like to pick up another one day. . sooo much fun to drive a dirt pedal into. the extra distorted harmonics drive the ringer mad. putting a delay first was pretty weird too

fun to put the ringer first too but I'm a noize addict myself lol

not sure if many people have tried this but putting it after a synthesizer is AWESOME.. expecially on a harmonic-rich sound. green ringers seem to make shiny things shinier and gnarly things gnarlier.

Thats also hows i know Time Box Instruments made some clones for Metric, I saw it in an interview with the band that they got a few off them while recording in Toronto and then used them all over the album they were making at the time (synthetica i think?) and that it became a real staple of the album. it showed the units as part of their synth and that gave me the idea.

the jawn mod says it is digital, I think I am looking more for the glitch and clang than pristine pitch shifting effects. Or is there jawn not that way?
Doh! Yeah I'd want analog octave too. That's weird they only offer digital.
The suboctave is digital. The octave up is digital or analog so it does all of them
Oh for real? The Knob Jawn pedal says the octave up can be analog but not the octave up mod on other pedals. The site should be more clear I guess.
We don't advertise custom work since it's on a case by case basis. If we listed every custom order mod possible, it would make the page way messier :). We add analog octave up to custom orders often. Just gotta ask.

If you're handy with a soldering iron (or know someone who is), then the DEFX Comfy Plum might be what you're looking for.

It's the Way Huge Purple Platypus, but with a couple of extras. At it's heart, it's a Red Llama overdrive (derived from the Anderton Tube fuzz), with a push pull transistor arrangement for the octave section. We added a footswitch to switch in/out the octave, as well as a third pot so adjust the amount of octave in the mix.

Sorry for the shameless pitch, but it kinda fits what you described in your op.

Me: I should build a Rat with a Green Ringer octave, maybe with an octave blend knob? That's a take on the Rat I don't think anyone has done. :idea:

I really wish these hadn’t sold out in a matter of hours/I weren’t wildly irresponsible with money and could’ve bought one. It’s a really cool idea. My only tiny complaint is the octave on a knob instead of a switch with a blend/tied to the boost.
