looking for glitchy octave pedal

[arablue]

i've just recently discovered the joy of monophonic octave pedals and distortion. it seems that bad tracking actually has a lot of musical potential, as long as you are willing to figure out the pedal's limits. i've been recommended the ehx octave multiplexer. are there any other suggestions? has anyone tried a dod octoplus in this capacity?
thanks in advance

Are you looking for a pedal that just does octave, or did you want fuzz/distortion along with it? If the latter, I'd suggest the MXR Blue Box. Cheap and nasty sub-octave mayhem.

i think i just want the octave since im still figuring out the distortion that works best. i had looked into a blue box and they do seem pretty cool

Boss oc2 can get real glitchy and weird on polyphonic stuff, it only does -1 octave and -2 octaves down no up, but usually super cheap and fun

Never played one, but the Arion is supposed to be fun and glitchy.

Blue Box. Sounds like you almost want synth octave pedals. Blue Box (can be a little unpredictable, sometimes its one Octave down, other times its 2 octaves down. When the Blue Box is confused it gets weird and just goes... fzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz reallly looowwww pitch. It is very easy to confuzzle the Blue Box) or the PulseMonger (really cool more aggressive, alottt more features. The sub octave is really fat!) or the Mothership from Pigtronix.

maybe not quite as involved as the mothership, but tank you much for the suggestion. the arion pedal sounds cool if i can find one, however im definitely open to suggestions

+1. Play more than one note at a time into an OC-2 and it glitches.

Not exactly a traditional octave pedal, but you might investigate the Mid-Fi Glitch Computer.

MI Audio Pollyanna gives you one octave up and 2 down. Mucho glitcho

Came here to suggest this. It has a control to adjust the tracking from super-sensitive to glitchy and unpredictable. One octave up, one and two down. Could be just what you're after.

subdecay noise box does some cool octave/broken guitar things. awesome pedal.

Boss OC-2 is glitchy as a mother****er! Play a power chord on your bridge pickup and watch it jump around between notes, pretty cool sometimes, annoying other times!

I own a boss Oc-2 and it glitches like mad on the lower strings! It sounds great before my Rat.

+1 on the Blue Box. That is a truly ingenious invention. The M.I. Audio Pollyanna is a more complex version of the blue box, so if you have the cash you should check that out

The Catalinbread Ottava Magus II was pretty glitchy and didn't track very well for me, but it also has fuzz with the octave effect.
