Super flexible mini octaver

Bought it for my mini pedalboard, looks great and sounds amazing, softer attack and overall "rounder" tone compared to the Nano Pog / Pitchfork, not better or worse, just different really, subnup is more discrete with a flute like tone, ehx's are more metallic and "realistic" overall. With the stock algorithm the sub octave doesn't really have definition to be played 100% wet for a faux bass, but with the added flexibility of the Toneprint Editor you can really tailor it (lot's of EQ and modulation parameters) and completely change it's character. Still forget it for punchy bass lines, Pitchfork or POG are just better, although I was able to dial in some tighter and brighter tones closer to the Pog. But I enjoyed a lot it's fluty overtones and sticked with the stock poly algorithm with the sub2 removed from the path. Poly mode resolves big chords with ease and little warble. Classic Monophonic tracking is damn impeccable, clearly faster than the poly mode (which is pretty fast allready), and there are other really fun toneprints, Mark Letierri's monophonic toneprint sounds awesome. For 1/3 of the price of the Nano Pog It's really a no-brainer, and it's true bypass (at least while it's bypassed, not so sure it's analog dry trough) but I wish I could beam my toneprints instead of having to load them via usb. Also wish the Toneprint UI was a bit more noob friendly.
Edit: After a lot of tweaking on the toneprint editor I was able to get a great flanger sound. I assigned "modulation bypass on/off" to the extremes of the mix knob so that from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock its off, only kicking in the extremes, also added mix control for modulation in those quarters for more or less flanger. Suddendly I have a flanger in my board at the twist of a knob! How cool is that?

Incredible versatility in a small package

Even without the TonePrint software, this pedal is useful. Once you dig in to all of the settings (which can be a bit daunting at first), this pedal will do whatever you need an octaver to do, and more. The ability to set the function of each knob to do anything is just incredible. The tracking is superb for both the Sub and the Up channels. It does take some time to dial in, but once you do, your ears will thank you.
