Description

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. 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. 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. 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. 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 circuit. In polyphonic mode, the circuit 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. 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. 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.

  • It's incredible!
Pattern Name: POLY BLUE OCTAVE
Nothing to dislike. It exceeded my expectations. I have purchased 2 other octavers (I won't mention the brands but one was cheap and the other not so much less in cost as this MXR Poly Blue Octaver but neither could touch it, no way! They would perform well on mono (unchoosable, really) but on any chords they are dreadful. I am mainly a rhythm guitarist and this MXR is incredible. The organ-like and bell-like effects open the door to inspiration and experimentation in my playing like no other pedal I've owned before and since I play alone, as many others do as well, it can add fullness and unbelivable dynamics to playing solo. I was gambling on laying out $200 for it but I am NOT sorry I spent it now. I've bought >200 even >100 guitars so 200 for a mere pedal seemed high but this is no MERE pedal. Sombody did their homework developing the MXR Poly Blye Octaver and it's worth the price of admission. ... show more

  • If you could only have one pedal this would be a good choice
Pattern Name: POLY BLUE OCTAVE
I love everything about this pedal, starting with the sparkle blue finish. This thing is ready versatile, with the ability to use your dry tone along with one or two octaves up and/or down. Each octave knob along with the dry tone can be adjusted to your desired level as each one has a dedicated knob which acts like a simple volume control for each respective octave (or dry signal). There is a mono button you can press to switch the octave effect between monophonic (the pedal works with single notes) and polyphonic (the pedal works with multiple notes, chords, etc.) so you have the choice there. There is also a fuzz button which applies some sweet fuzz to your tone. The only downside here is that you can't control the level of fuzz applied, but you can make adjustments to the tone and volume on your guitar to change the characteristic of the fuzz. Lastly they packed in a modulation knob which drives either their Phase 90 phaser effect, or a Leslie/rotating speaker effect depending which mode you have the pedal in (monophonic of polyphonic). So at the end of the day you are getting a very versatile octave pedal, a fuzz pedal, a phaser, and a Leslie emulator... all in a $200 dollar pedal. This one is a no brainer. ... show more

  • The only Octave Pedal You’ll Need
Pattern Name: POLY BLUE OCTAVE
My Poly Blue Octave pedal died a few days after I got it. I called MXR and they fixed it quickly and it’s been fine for a few months so far. This pedal has an interesting array of features that I think makes it worth the price. I’ve had cheaper Octave pedals and been quite disappointed. This one has two octaves up and down, like the big POG, plus fuzz, so it does two jobs in one. Not every combination will sound good, but you’re bound to find some really useful settings. Try it, you’ll like it. ... show more

  • accurate tracking
Pattern Name: POLY BLUE OCTAVE
best octave pedal i've come across. even using all four octave ranges, 2 uo 2 down tracks seemlessly. the modulation effect is very interesting to play around with. one very small issue is the pedal on indicator: it's super bright and a bit annoying compared with other boxes more subtle idicators. i had to put a bit of green painters tape over it. again, minor. ... show more

  • Ridonculous!
Pattern Name: POLY BLUE OCTAVE
This pedal packs a metric tonne. If it were just +2/-2 clean octaves and nothing else it's worth the price, and when I say clean I mean it even puts out a clean signal at -2 octaves of the low-B on my 5-string bass. Add in modulation, 3 variations of fuzz, and mono/poly switching it truly is a ridonculous value. 10/10 no cap, as the kids say. ... show more

  • The best pedal I own
Pattern Name: POLY BLUE OCTAVE
The Poly Blue Octave pedal is a very versatile pedal. With just a few slight turns of the knobs, a whole different tone can be achieved. It can do an old school tone to a more modern style. If you’re looking for a great pedal to help shape your tone, give the MXR Poly Blue Octave a try.

  • Hated this pedal.
Pattern Name: POLY BLUE OCTAVE
I would do weird, unpredictable things with my Pedal Power supply. And since you cannot use a battery with it, it was essentially useless to me. I sent it back right away.

  • Great pedal!
Pattern Name: POLY BLUE OCTAVE
This is a fantastic pedal. In mono mode its very close to the OC-2 type of thing, but much louder and deeper in the low end. The poly mode is really fun and can get pretty crazy, but ive noticed on bass if u use it in poly and only use -1 octave with no dry it has a little latency. Im currently using it on bass and its a ton of fun! Havent tried it ok guitar yet, or tried using an expression pedal, but its a great octave pedal and tracks pretty well. In mono it tracks similarly to the Vintage Bass Octave or the Boss OC-2, but in Poly mode it tracks very well. The blue sparkle finish looks really good too ... show more
