| Gustav | I think the arion is a boss copy. FWIW the only good tracking one I have heard are the EBS one and the octave in the EH bass micro syth. Mark Hammer has posted here that the rocktave by Anderton is a good one. The boss and arion glitch when the note dies out alot of people use it for this. |

there's also a new dunlop/mxr clean octave down that's a good choice. you'll just have to wait til they ship the production units. Eric |

what do you wanna do with the octave pedal? Much like distortion, there are lots of varieties on the theme. If you want it to sound like a bass or really low guitar you'll need a digital pitch shifter. Or- if you want something a little more unique, go for some less-expensive stompboxes. The BOSS pedal is actually the best one I've found so far. The EBS pedal is ok but its switching made an odd click that isn't condusive of the styles I play witht the octave. Try this for my fave octave sound ala a certain Omaha rock band- Humbucker guitar into octave pedal (octave 1 and direct at max, octave 2 off) into a crunchy Mesa-Boogie or marshall sound. Try some low riffs and learn to pick in such a way that the octave tracks cleanly. It's not hard to achieve a tight rock sound this way. jt |

| Greg | Prescription Electronics has the C.O.B. (Clean Octave Blend)I've heard it's top notch and sounds very good. |

A high end unit like the Digitech WH-1 Whammy is well worth keeping your eyes out for. Often insanely expensive, it offers clean octaves up and down plus loads more. I think that the newer Digitech Whammys are pretty nice as well. |
