Microtonal? and a Powernoise pedal?
This review might be a dealbreaker for you if you want a real pure octaves! for some reason the "pure" this claims to be, is not so pure. The settings are cents off from the actual notes which makes the output microtonal and detuned.
But this is a perfect octaver to put detuned octave layers on your synths or electronic drums imo, which i later tried out and am using only for that purpose now. (either it really is just "unpure" octave or i bought a faulty pedal.)
It has a wetness and dryness knobs which are helpful to explore and the center knob clicks on the slots which makes it beginner friendly.
For me, this pedal is a experimentalist's synth detune octaver. And not suitable for rock guitars(tho i think it would fit into shoegaze).
As a harsh noise/feedback/powernoise perspective, the detuneness creates a very weird detuned messy drone in here with pal 50hz electricity. That is in my opinion, the only good use for this pedal.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
+1+2 setting, 70ish wet to a analogue electronic drum -> mixer feedback loop (industrial powernoise).

Better than you'd expect.
For a mini pedal on a budget ... it is pretty spectacular. Are there better octave pedals out there? Yes? But not for the financial cost or the space on your pedal board's real-estate. I love it! Place it on the board as early as tou can in the chain and enjoy the decent, intuitive, octave (up and down) generation. I have third in my signal chain right after my tuner and compressor!

In this photo someone else uploaded from Crumb's Chicago show (for the evidence of the phase 90 and distortion+), Lila can also be seen using the mooer octaver. This is obvious from the colour, placing of text and the knobs

In this photo of Petale's pedalboard at a 2022 Cologne concert, one of the pedals that can be seen is the Mooer Pure Octaver. The authenticity of this photograph is confirmed by 2022 Premier Guitar rig rundown, where the Mooer Pure Octaver was seen once again.

Here is another example of an octave generator. Probably a better build quality (but honestly it's not obvious to me that there is a drastic difference in performance).
