i have one of my two whammys always set to an octave down for turning my guitar into a bass, wondering if there's another octave down pedal that handles chords similarly but takes up less space...
any suggestions?

Ring Thing is a LITTLE smaller. Hbomb was saying the Mooer octaver does a pretty okay job. Maybe you could look into a Micro Pog?

i actually have a HOG v1, haven't used it in a while but feel like i remember it not handling chords well with the octave down, will have to give that another shot... thanks for the suggestion!

If your looking for octave down to track chords, stay away from analog pedals. Analog sounds better in my opinion, I have an Octron and love it, but it doesn't do chords. I second the POG/HOG recommendation for what you're after.

yeah the Mooer is pretty awesome seems to handle chords well, haven't tried it without the dry yet but I will at some point

and the OC3 does pretty well

does the OC3 have a little lag like my PS-5 super shifter does when using it to drop an octave?

EBS Octabass, EHX POG, and the Boss OC-3 do passable jobs of polyphonic tracking.

The OC3 I think has a little bit of lag on the bottom string but I hit the strings like I'm murdering them. the Octabass I didn't pay enough attention to.
