The MXR Poly Blue Octave brings modern and classic pitch-shifting styles together with fuzz and modulation — to create the ultimate octave pedal for tone-crafters and sonic-seekers!

Levelled Up

The Poly Blue Octave features four separate octave divisions — one octave down, two octaves down, one octave up, and two octaves up — and you get to control the level of each in the mix. Each is polyphonic by default, which means they sound just as amazing with chords as they do with single note passages. Your dry signal gets its own level control, as well, so you can dial in the perfect blend of pitch-shifted tones.

From Contemporary Clarity to Raw Vintage Grit

The Mono switch takes you back to the gritty, monophonic tones of analogue-style pitch-shifters. In this mode, the sub-octave signals have the warm vibes and raw personality of a pedal such as the MXR Vintage Bass Octave, while the higher octave signals resemble the Octavio Fuzz with its fuzz intensity dialled all the way back.

Call up the Thunder & Lightning

The Poly Blue Octave comes equipped with an unruly fuzz that’s inspired by the classic MXR Blue Box Fuzz. Applied to all five signals, the fuzz volume can be adjusted using the Dry knob after pressing and holding the Fuzz button. When used with the sub-octave signals, the fuzz sounds thick and subterranean. Over the higher pitched signals, the fuzz is searing and synth-like. Run them all at the same time for a choir of thunder and lightning!

Phase Yourself

For infusing your octave tones with an alluring sense of motion, from thick and syrupy to frenzied and frantic, the Poly Blue Octave features a dual-mode modulation effect. In polyphonic mode, the effect provides an uncanny simulation of the famous Leslie effect, and while In monophonic mode, it provides classic swirls and swooshes inspired by the Phase 90. Like the fuzz effect, the modulation applies to all five signals when engaged. The Mod knob adjusts the rate of the effect — when you want it off, just roll the Mod knob back fully counter-clockwise.

Step Up & Take Control

Through the EXP jack, the Poly Blue Octave allows you to control various settings with an expression pedal such as the Volume (X) 8 Pedal or an off-board switch such as the MXR Tap Tempo to sweep between two different knob and switch configurations or toggle the fuzz and mono modes on and off.

A Full Palette of Tones & Textures

The MXR Poly Blue Octave delivers high-performance pitch-shifting, fuzz, and modulation in a ruggedly reliable housing with true bypass switching. Put this into your signal chain, and open up new sonic frontiers.

Stuff About Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

The Important stuff

Blue — A bit of blue, lots of blue things, if you like blue, look no further than our blue section. We got the blue.. Octave — An octave effect shifts the guitar signal up or down by one or more octaves and blends it with the original sound. It is used to add thickness, create bass-like lines, or produce higher, harmonised tones, making it popular for lead playing, riffs, and creative sound design.. Pedal — Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own..
