    It’s always pleasantly awkward when people ask me who my favorite guitar player is. It always ends up with me sending them links to a few of your vids. They’re always blown away. Thanks, Pete!

    Pete is the Tom Cruise of pedal demo hosts - the dude has style and his compositions and explanations are simply best in class.

    That upper octave poly mode is my fav sound and (or is it because) I think it sounds very Mellotron flute-esque… love the whole intro track too!

    dude, that was a ridiculous composition. 😳👍👏 I can't remember ever bangin my head to a pedal demo! I was so pleasantly surprised by the drop to the Leslie B section and the breakdown building towards the riff again. Killa!! What a great way to show off that pedal!...and that composition should be a song!

    That Leslie mode would work if you had to cover that demented warbly Farfisa organ in Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd.

  • @harrisfrankou2368
    @harrisfrankou2368 2 роки тому +1

    I was thinking a Modulator Leslie type and octaver... I have a "octave patch" and Modulations on my Oceans 12 ...but this with it's superior mod control and fuzz is a no brainer.
    I'll likely get a third expression pedal for this and then can blend my gain/boost tones on my Strymon Riverside, My Oceans 12 and this Pedal, I'm kinda going away from presets and blending tones with expression.
    This was my last pedal an octave modulator...but throw in the octave controls the extra ones mod phase and fuzz..I think for now that is my Pedal Board set for a while.
    It's telling that Pete Thorn and Josh at JHS reviewed this the same day.
    Pete brings the best out of a Pedal.
    How does it sound Making Music is his ethos and much appreciated.

  • @wrayven
    @wrayven 2 роки тому +2

    I have an MXR Sub Machine pedal which is cool, but this pedal seems far more versatile. The pedal in the demo isn't much like an MXR Blue Box. I like the Blue Box because it doesn't track well. I think of Buzz Osbourne of The Melvins when I think of the Blue Box. The pedal in the demo tracks way better and is doing something altogether different sounding than a Blue Box. Seems like the Poly Blue Octave is a great update to many sub-octave pedals. The ability to use it as a modulation box is really cool.

  • @demongeminix
    @demongeminix 2 роки тому +2

    You know, Pete... I'm thinking I really need this pedal.
    The last time I said that, it was after watching your Digitech Freqout demo for the tenth time. And I did indeed shell out the cash for it. And I'm thinking I'm gonna shell out the cash for this one too.
    Killer demo, Pete.

    your demo of the pedal was top notch.
    Every thing about octive pedals octive fuzz pedals that I absolutely loath was present in the demo
    Thank you for demonstrating for me why I will never buy that pedal .
    I don't blame Pete for not doing a good job , because he did a great job, and I just don't have enough good taste to appreciate just how great that pedal is.
    Thanks Pete you saved me a chunk of change .

    Curious how it would sound on bass, no fuzz, dry + 1 octave up, touch of phaser mod. Could be a one-box replacement for a few pedals I use to get an 8-/12-string sort of sound.
