Octave Pedal

[jcater]

Is there such a thing as an octave pedal that goes an octave up rather than below?

[thisnameistaken]

Yes but they're all digital and the sound you'll get will be a bit thin and warbly. The cheapest option is the EHX Micro POG. There are lots of videos on Youtube demonstrating what it sounds like.

There's also such a thing as an 'octave fuzz' which creates a dirty sound one octave up, but the octave effect is quite subtle and probably isn't what you're looking for.

There's the fairly rare Pearl OC 7. Sometimes pops up on Ebay and Gumtree.

Digitech whammy goes 1 or 2 octaves up if I recall.

There is a way of doing it in an analogue fashion. IIRC, you modulate the original signal with the signal phase shifted by 90 degrees. I remember doing it with a Sinclair Projoect 60 Z30 amplifier module in a home-made multieffects unit in about 1973 (hence being a bit vague on the details).

The one on the Line 6 M5/9/13 does Octave Up if i remember correctly, but i'm pretty sure you don't want to buy a Multi FX just for one effect.

The one in the Line 6 M-series pedals doesn't do an octave up. There's a pitch shifter that does, but not an octaver.

The Whammy is also a pitch shifter, it sounds nothing like an octaver.

This is the only pedal I'm aware of - it goes two octaves down and one octave up.

Danelectro do a octave up fuzz, there are a few octave fuzzes that go one up, but its not a clean one.

MI Audio Pollyanna does +1 Octave clean.

Not a bad little fuzz actually, had one until it was It is very much a fuzzy octave up, but quite a synthy little thing. Didn't reckon much to the construction though I've got to say.
