Handmade in Portland, Oregon and dubbed the Octaves Polyphonic Octave Generator – a name which is bound to attract some attention from EHX – the Mr Black Mini Octaves pedal does a pretty mean impression of the famous Electro-Harmonix POG. However, this one throws a subtle dose of modulation into the mix to make your pitch shifted signal ever the more wonky, making it suitable for organ-like volume swells and big beefy riffs.
The Mr Black Mini Octaves Polyphonic Octave Generator keeps things pretty simple in the layout department, mirroring the controls of a Micro POG with knobs to control the Octave Down (Sub), Dry (Root) and Octave Up (Upper) signals. Turning everything all the way to the right will give you a healthy +3dB of boost, which could be used impeccably in the hands of the right player.
