Low End Lovers!
This is one of my favorite pedals I've ever played. Its almost like I transform into a synth with the push of a button.
Has a particular job, should be used for purpose.
Creates very synth like octave sounds, relatively functional. Having the dry signal fully down causes octave signals to sound very unpleasant due to pedal design.
A classic wonder
Unmistakably awesome sound. It is on most of the time...
Classic octaver
Sounds excellent, but actually I'm using only for recording. For live situations I prefeer the OC-3.
nice lo-fi sounds
Good complement for fuzz solos or fattened sounds, also good for lo fi sounds
Another great octaver
Still on the fence between this and the EBS Octabass, but I may run both....
Favorite Pedal Ever.
Everyone uses it for a reason. I can get great sub tones as well as gritty dry/oct splits. Love it.

swing low sweet chariot
the gold standard of o80soctave down pedals but that's more for the build quality and buffer then the actual circuit which is quirky and finnicky.... it makes heinous low noises in case you need that sort of thing. I'm sure its been bettered for tracking and soundquality but the old designs have charm as noise machines. not as dun as an octave multiplexer and not as good at tracking as the arion, but it has a place. Want to really frustrate it? put a synthesizer into it! Prepare for silliness. Reminds me of an mxr blue box that's not fuzzy, just synthy and velcroey....
