MXR® Poly Blue Octave

www.jimdunlop....
The MXR Poly Blue Octave brings modern and classic pitch-shifting styles together with fuzz and modulation to create the ultimate octave pedal for tonecrafters and sonic seekers.
LEVELED UP.
The Poly Blue Octave features four separate octave divisions-one octave down, two octaves down, one octave up, and two octaves up-and you get to control the level of each in the mix. Each is polyphonic by default, which means they sound just as amazing with chords as they do with single note passages. Your dry signal gets its own level control, as well, so you can dial in the perfect blend of pitch-shifted tones.
FROM CONTEMPORARY CLARITY TO RAW VINTAGE GRIT.
The Mono switch takes you back to the gritty, monophonic tones of analog style pitch shifters. In this mode, the sub-octave signals have the warm vibes and raw personality of a pedal such as the MXR Vintage Bass Octave, while the higher octave signals resemble the Octavio Fuzz with its fuzz intensity dialed all the way back.
CALL UP THE THUNDER AND LIGHTNING.
The Poly Blue Octave comes equipped with an unruly fuzz that’s inspired by the classic MXR Blue Box™ Fuzz. Applied to all five signals, the fuzz volume can be adjusted using the Dry knob after pressing and holding the Fuzz button. When used with the sub-octave signals, the fuzz sounds thick and subterranean. Over the higher pitched signals, the fuzz is searing and synth-like. Run them all at the same time for a choir of thunder and lightning.
PHASE YOURSELF.
For infusing your octave tones with an alluring sense of motion, from thick and syrupy to frenzied and frantic, the Poly Blue Octave features a dual-mode modulation effect. In polyphonic mode, the effect provides an uncanny simulation of the famous Leslie effect, and while In monophonic mode, it provides classic swirls and swooshes inspired by the Phase 90. Like the fuzz effect, the modulation applies to all five signals when engaged. The Mod knob adjusts the rate of the effect-when you want it off, just roll the Mod knob back fully counterclockwise.
STEP UP AND TAKE CONTROL.
Through the EXP jack, the Poly Blue Octave allows you to control various settings with an expression pedal such as the Volume (X)™8 Pedal or an off-board switch such as the MXR Tap Tempo Switch to sweep between two different knob and switch configurations or toggle the fuzz and mono modes on and off.
A FULL PALETTE OF TONES AND TEXTURES IN A SINGLE PEDAL.
The MXR Poly Blue Octave delivers high-performance pitch shifting, fuzz, and modulation in a ruggedly reliable housing with true bypass switching. Put this into your signal chain, and open up new sonic frontiers.

I think it's the best alternative to the expensive POG

[@willvassouras]

I was thinking the same

[@Dr.RajBaaaa]

WOW. Great Tones, wonderful & very versatile MXR pedal. 🌈🎸🏳‍🌈

[@martin_schwarz]

I bought the first one delivered to Austria, it's great on its own, but even better with a Leslie simulation after it (I use the EHX Lester G). Makes me the Hammond player in my band. I use an expression pedal to switch between a rock organ sound (poly) and a synth solo tone (mono & fuzz). It works better than some other pedals I've tried and it's more versatile too.

[@GlennJimenez]

One of my favorite pedals. It’s quite inspiring. It’s almost a multi effects unit.

[@jobckts682]

veri impressive pedal. good range. great tracking.

[@linusheeda]

A awesome pedal with crazy sounds 👏🏻👏🏻

[@KRayxKodessA]

Been waiting on one at my local store for far longer than I'm okay with...

[@gabedom_]

Hmm. I love The Blue Box, for its lack of knobs and options. So this is interesting, hopefully it'll have more mass appeal than it's predecessor.

[@NicleT]

So the Blue Box mutated! Splendid sounds and lots of possibilities. Would probably change the knobs.

[@TheFlutecart]

I got one when they came out. It's fun for sure.

[@jorgeortizmusic]

I love it!!

[@jfaguit]

Killer riff at 2:30

[@JR-dd4ec]

Wish I had this pedal when I was playing!!!

[@anniedarkhorse6791]

Does a lot. Pretty impressive for one pedal.

[@Pasha2894]

So siiiick. Awesome shit. That pedal just blow your mind

[@erikavery8569]

This is UGGGGGGLY!!!!!! I’m getting this for my bass!🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾😖😖😖😖😖

[@turdusmerula_]

Nice! Now on bass please!

[@tylerpoe8628]

Why wouldnt this work on bass?

[@turdusmerula_]

@@tylerpoe8628 i think it would do it great, thats why i would like to see a vídeo of that

[@allenb7395]

Fullbore metal v2…. When?

[@FunkHitsTheFan]

basically the boss oc-5 just added those mod modes

[@castle6660]

Except the mxr has mod modes and fuzz and 4 octaves instead of the boss 2 octave in poly and 3 in mono...and the boss has the range control.

[@mateusrodriguesgt]

Se o Silas Fernandes ver isso, vai ficar maluco.

[@rabidgoon]

i wish this has the dual dry and wet outputs like the boss oc-5 octave pedal. i'd switch in a heartbeat, but i run the wet signal only into a 1 watt amp to get a crazy space organ sound for my ambient guitar setup. if i switch to this i'd need to reconfigure.

[@grizelda4526]

Made me sell my POG.

[@personalfreedom2700]

This was released a while ago

[@dieselbreakfast]

Yeah but they need to move some units....

[@personalfreedom2700]

@@dieselbreakfast coz they priced it too high and it actually doesn’t track very well compared to its top competitors

[@bonephone2729]

I got this pedal and I thought it rather sucked

[@jw112mail]

Jack White in a box

Yes!

[@eMysterium]

Yup

[@Los_Santos1985]
