Excellent octaver
A very good octaver, with a marvellously sounding octave down, and with the possibility of adding another interval: a fifth up (hence the name the 85 ?), another octave up or 2 octaves down ! You have a blend setting and a level setting for the classic octave down as well as a level for the other interval. The most precious setting is “focus”, which is useful for putting forward more harmonics or brightness. This pedal is very versatile and very rich in different tones. The interval can sound very natural or very synthetic but that is what I like about it… You can transform your bass in an organ with this thing ! You also have the possibility to plug an expression pedal, which I have not tried yet, in order to get a pitch shifter like effect probably.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
I must say I love it with a touch of octave up only (2,5) and focus at 4/5, blend at 7 and into an overdrive, which gives plenty of high end aggressiveness and a lot of harmonics. But I also love it as a classic octaver: octave at 4, focus at 3 and blend at 8.

Both pedals have the same possibilities in terms of interval. The Laney is in my opinion a top of the line version of the classic boss pedal.
