The MXR M306 Poly Blue Octave deliver classic and modern octave tones in conjunction with fuzz and modulation.
If you like octave sounds, you're gonna love the Poly Blue Octave pedal. It features 4 separate octaves - one octave down, two octaves down, one octave up and two octaves up...with the ability to control the levels of each one via their dedicated knob. Each ocatve is polyphonic by default, meaning they'll work just as good with single notes as they will chords.
Hit the Mono switch and you'll be in vintage octave territory, with the gritty, monophonic tones of analog style pitch shifters. The sub-ctave sounds have warm yet raw goodness, whilst the higher octaves resemble the Octavio Fuzz with its fuzz intensity dialed all the way back.
The fun doesn't end there.The Poly Blue Octave comes equipped with a fuzz which is applied to all five signals; the fuzz volume can be adjusted using the Dry knob after pressing and holding the Fuzz button. When used with the sub-octave signals, the fuzz sounds thick and subterranean. Over the higher pitched signals, the fuzz is searing and synth-like. Run them all at the same time for a choir of thunder and lightning.
For infusing your octave tones with an alluring sense of motion, from thick and syrupy to frenzied and frantic, the Poly Blue Octave features a dual-mode modulation effect. In polyphonic mode, the effect provides an uncanny simulation of the famous Leslie effect, and while In monophonic mode, it provides classic swirls and swooshes inspired by the Phase 90. Like the fuzz effect, the modulation applies to all five signals when engaged. The Mod knob adjusts the rate of the effect—when you want it off, just roll the Mod knob back fully counterclockwise.
Through the EXP jack, the Poly Blue Octave allows you to control various settings with an expression pedal such as the Volume (X)™8 Pedal or an off-board switch such as the MXR Tap Tempo Switch to sweep between two different knob and switch configurations or toggle the fuzz and mono modes on and off.
The MXR Poly Blue Octave delivers high-performance pitch shifting, fuzz, and modulation in a ruggedly reliable housing with true bypass switching. Put this into your signal chain, and open up new sonic frontiers.
