MXR M306 Poly Blue Octave Pedal - Secondhand

Full Description

Four octave divisions

MXR want you to test, experiment, prod and poke this pedal. They've loaded it with a whopping four octave divisions to keep you playing all night long. With two sub controls to bring a deep, glorious bass shift, you can instantly achieve funky low register grooves or filthy, muddy bottom-end frequencies. At the other end of the scale the two Oct controls send your signal sky-high, imbuing a spiky, piercing bolt of noise to contrast your dry output.

Individually these effects are a lot of fun, but where the magic happens is MXR's seamless ability to blend them however you like. Crank them all up to the maximum to elicit an ethereal, organ like effect that give your amp a satisfying wail, or season to your taste. This pedal was built to tinker. The expression pedal switch option puts you firmly in control of how to access these scintillating sounds

Magical modulation

No limits. With dual-mode modulation on the Poly Blue you have command over a vast array of tones. Set in polyphonic by default you'll have amazing results with both single notes and complex chords. Dial the modulation setting up to get a swirling rotary noise that's reminiscent of the famous Leslie effect. Engage the mono switch to evoke the vintage swooshing, ocean wave like peaks and troughs of a phase 90. Even without any of the octave modes engaged, this modulation gives you enough sonic variation to keep you occupied.

Hot Fuzz

You'll notice two switches at the top of the M306, Fuzz and Mono. This dynamic duo introduces new dimensions to accent your octave and modulation effects with. Starting with fuzz you gain a satisfying crunch that could compete against dedicated distortion pedals. Mix that with the sub octaves for some filthy dark rumble or turn to the upper pitches to shriek out synth like, electrifying high notes. Run all these dials together for a thunderous chorus that echoes the voices of gods. Easy to control, you can set your preferred amount of fuzz by simply holding the button and adjusting the dry/wet control.

Monophonic mayhem

Sometimes what's old is gold. With the mono switch you can recreate the analog pitch shifters of yore and revel in the gritty vintage vibes. Add in the sub dials to get the warm sound and response similar to the MXR Vintage Bass Octave, while the higher octaves deliver that classic shrill tingle.

Total control at your feet

The MXR is set up to work when you want, and how you want. Aside from the dry/wet control that allows precision adjustment on effect levels, there's also the input for an expression pedal or tap switch. This gives you fine control over your effects, with an expression pedal you can blend between effects on the fly or use a tap switch to instantly toggle between pre-set modes.
