Mr Black has announced the latest stompbox to join its rapidly expanding roster of mini pedals, with the arrival of the Mini Octaves.
The Octaves Polyphonic Octave Generator - are they even allowed to call it that?! - sets out to do things a little differently to its obvious point of comparison.
While it offers both octave-up and octave-down tones - like Electro-Harmonix’s Nano POG - it combines that with a subtle vibrato, which aims to offset the sometimes synthetic nature of pitch-shifted signals.
12 o’clock on the sub, root and upper controls offers unity gain, with no signal at full counter-clockwise, and a handy +3dB boost when fully clockwise.
Like Mr Black’s other mini pedals - the Mini Reverb and Mini Chorus - the Mini Octaves is handmade in Portland, Oregon, and available now for $99 from Mr Black Pedals.
