The Octave switch selects three distinct octave approaches.

Independent shopping perspective
MXR's Poly Blue Octave is a blue octave pedal for guitarists and bassists with three voice modes: Bass, 12-String, and Poly. Bass mode adds a tone one octave below a guitar signal, while 12-String mode doubles it one octave up. Poly creates octave layers above and below the dry guitar tone. Volume, Tone, and Mix controls let you set the effect level, voice it, and blend it with the unaffected signal. Its die-cast chassis, footswitch, and jacks are built for stage use.
