I'm interested in this too. There are plenty of reviews around for the EBS and the Boss units, but ones for the MXR are pretty scarce.

The MXR isn't the cleanest, the best tracking or the fastest octave pedal around but it's got personnality and a signature sound, 2 things most effect pedals lack these days.

If you're looking for perfect control this unit isn't for you.

Otherwise you will love how it gargles when it doesn't understand what you send it or how it glides like a defective Moog when you hold notes too long.

Pedals have personality?

I don't know why, but this description made me laugh violently :)

Is the Digitech X-Series Bass Synth available in Australia? That pedal has an octave setting that works pretty darn well. It also has a bunch of other wacky tones too.

I'm pretty sure it is. Though I think I want a dedicated Octave pedal.

I like my gargling but slightly metallic Boss OC-2. Wish I could enhance the gargling, any suggestions?

 

That MicroPOG looks the shiznit for octave up. I might need that depending on the song if my new band stays 3 piece.

 

Edit: Forgot to mention I seriously disliked the MXR, with a passion. I miss my Digitech Bass Whammy :(
