Mooer Pure Octave

Unlike anything you've heard come out of a single pedal.

The Mooer Pure Octave is another pedal in their range that packs a big punch for such a pint-sized stomp box. The unit is based on the hugely successful Boss OC-2, although it also lets you add an octave higher, and two octaves higher, without any added distortion. The pedal has three mini knobs for sub octave, dry signal and upper octave and a large mode knob that gives you the ability to combine up to four octaves (two below and two above) on top of the original guitar signal. There's just about every combination of octaves you can imagine, but the best part about the pedal is the tracking, so accurate it can hear just about every note in a chord clearly. My personal favourite setting was in the four-octave mode (two octaves above and below), with all the knobs cranked, placed in front of my Marshall Plexi with a driven tone. Here I was able to get a sort of church organ sound, which was unlike anything I'd ever heard come out of a single pedal.
