Octaver pedal in 'micro' size? Does any exist?

[1976fenderhead]

An Octabass style pedal the size of an SFX 'micro' pedal would be perfect for my board... Does anything like this exist (and tracking well on bass)? I'm guessing no but anyhoo...

[EskimoBassist]

Checked out the small Mooer pedals? I think Shep and Ant got two of their series including a pitchshifter, might be right up your street. Definitely tiny sized.

Had a search, on Harmony setting you get a wet/dry mix, on pitchshift setting it's a full shift. No independent control over dry/wet balance but it is tiny and obviously has lots of other shifting options other than just -12/-24. It is true bypass AND polyphonic too:

What a shame you can't balance the voices...

Yep, that's definitely the big problem with that pedal for me.

Malekko may still produce the 'Down' pedal they announced at 2011 NAMM. Apparently some of the pedals announced at that time are still trickling out. [url="http://www.effectsdatabase.com/model/malekko/omicron/down"]LINK[/url]

Danelectro do a smaller-than-Boss octaver which sound grand.

Not on sale anywhere yet so far as I can tell but looks much more versatile than you'd expect from a 1590A format pedal.

yeah im VERY interested in that new mooer octave

[Truckstop]

GAS!

Still want a Trelicopter first though. I already have like 3 octavers!

That mooer octave looks fantastic. I've got a pitch box on it's way, looking fwd to that

[1976fenderhead]

That looks awesome. I have room for a normal-sized octaver now, but if I run out I'm getting that one!

[1976fenderhead]

Interested in this again... Do you guys reckon this will track well on bass? How do their other pitch pedals perform in that respect?
And is this for sale anywhere already? I can see Anderton's has a few Mooers but not this one, can't find them anywhere else...

[EskimoBassist]

Talk to Shep and Ant - I think they both got one of the pitch shifting pedals each direct from Mooer. Sounds like they're happy to accommodate orders themselves, so send them an email?

[BigBeatNut]

Most recent thing I heard (10 days ago on HC) was that this and the comp had both been delayed.

"Hi,i am sorry to tell you the mooer pedals"Pure Octave、Blue Comp " are not available at the moment,because the MOOER company recall all this two modes to make further revision and process improvement,they stop producing "Pure Octave、Blue Comp ", we just infomed in this morning"

[1976fenderhead]

Thanks for the info, I'll just have to wait a little longer then...

[1976fenderhead]

Just got a reply from them saying that Strings & Things distribute Mooer here, but the Pure Octave is not out yet, trying to get an ETA. They said it does track well on bass though...

If you spot one second hand, the Guyatone Micro Octaver's small and pretty decent. It tracked no worse than other octave pedals from what I remember of it:

Hmmmm .....

[Longmayyourun]

Is it my hearing , or does that sound kind of warbly? Almost like there's a chorus in the chain too. I really want to like this pedal, but I'm not convinced by the demo.

[BigBeatNut]

Me neither. The higher octave sounds much more warbley than the pitch box to my ears. Lower octaves don't seem to have much character but that could just be the way it's mixed.

Definitely a pedal I'd need to try before buying. Not the micro pog we might have expected, on the basis of that video.

[rapscallion]

Andertons are getting them in stock late December/early July. tried out the Pitchbox but holding out to try the Pure Octave

[Ashwood1985]

It does in deed sound like it's chorusing :-/ A shame as the functionality is mind blowing for such a little package.

I really love the sound of the micro POG but space limitations on my board, plus a consideration that all that 'clav' like character (which ironically is what makes me love it) will restrict it's usability as a workhorse puts me in line for the mxr super octave deluxe i think.

Edit/addition: The mxr is pretty darn small! If you can't fit one of them in then it's time for a bigger board

I sometimes wonder if they deliberately designed it to make that sound ... perhaps because it's useful for guitarists ? It sounds so grossly .... gross .... to me it seems unlikely to have slipped out like that by mistake.

Then I stop wondering 'cos the pedal is obviously not going to work for me.
