MXR® Poly Blue Octave

Description
The MXR M306 Poly Blue Octave effects pedal is an innovative pedal that lets guitarists explore a range of octave effects to enhance their tone in exciting new ways. Whether you want to emulate a bass guitar, create a 12-string sound or add shimmering high octaves, the M306 has you covered. Designed with guitarists and bassists in mind, this pedal offers a simple yet versatile solution for creative tone shaping.
Emulate a Bass or 12-String Guitar
The M306's Octave switch lets you select between three distinct octave voices: Bass, 12-String or Poly. In Bass mode, the pedal tracks your guitar's signal and generates a bass tone one octave below. This setting is ideal for emulating a bass guitar to fill out your band's lower end. The 12-String mode recreates the chimey sound of a 12-string guitar by doubling your signal one octave up.
Add Shimmering High Octaves
The Poly setting is where the M306 really shines, using MXR's polyphonic octave generator to produce octaves both above and below your dry guitar tone. This creates a lush, spacious sound with layers of octaves that shimmer and sparkle. Adjust the Mix knob to blend the octave effect with your unprocessed guitar tone to create the perfect balance of natural tone and octave richness.
Simple Interface, Roadworthy Design
Despite its advanced octave generation technology, the M306 features an intuitive, easy-to-use interface with just a few knobs. It has Volume, Tone and Mix knobs to shape your tone, as well as an Octave switch to select between octave voices. The M306's roadworthy design includes a durable die-cast chassis, footswitch and jacks built to withstand the rigors of stage use night after night. Power it with a 9V battery or optional power supply (sold separately).
Add Depth and Texture to Your Tone
Whether using it for subtle thickening or more obvious special effects, the MXR M306 Poly Blue Octave pedal is a simple yet powerful way to add depth, texture and new sonic dimensions to your guitar playing. Take your tone to another level with the lush, shimmering octaves of the M306.

Having the ability to play several octave at once gives a wide range of sound possibilities. Even with all 5 octaves going, the pedal is responsive and clear. I play it through a bass amp, but I do wonder if the two sub octaves would challenge a guitar amp. It likes clean power. It will not use batteries, and it will not work with some of the inexpensive bricks. It needs a good power supply feeding it clean power. It comes with one. It works perfectly fine on Cioks on my board. It does not work with an inexpensive unit on my buddy's board.
A interesting versatile addition…

Got this about a week ago, its a versatile pedal it's not subtle but it is kinda unique in its own way kind of a POG, Phaser, Organ pedal, fuzz and a Blue box rolled in one. On some things it tracks well but other stuff usually the organ sound it lacks in tracking notes. If you are into experimenting with not so subtle stuff then this is for you. I got a few audio samples on my YouTube channel listed…

Hi, Looking to use this specifically as an acoustic musician to loop basslines live with my acoustic guitar. When you dial back the dry signal and only roll on one of the sub octaves is it possible to get a relatively clean bass sound? I like the idea of the other features and am sure I will find use for them as well but my primary concern is that I'll be able to produce clean bass notes with an acoustic guitar Thanks
