I built up a second prototype of the LowRider (Pearl Octaver) to see if I could overcome some of the issues with the first. I'm happy to report it came out really well! Now I can fix the first build :)

Here's is a really short demo featuring some octave up, one and two octaves down all mixed together.

cool, sounds like it tracks pretty good. every octave down effect I've ever messed with was glitchy as hell.

I'm really liking the sound of this. Seems like it does what I wanted the POG to do.

I think this is going to be released as a public project - boards will be available when it's ready.

However, it isn't a polyphonic pedal, so it won't quite do what a pog does. As far as I know, the tracking is only for one note at a time. Too bad I know, but still it's pretty great for a clean octave up and down pedal.

I guess i'll have to build three of them. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Man, this would go so well with an autowah!  I'm definitely in for one of these! 8)

It was difficult to pick up the upper octave.  I tried to make one of these from a layout on another forum but was never sure if I got the upper octave right because it was not prominent at all.  Do you find this to be the case with the design?  The lower octaves sound real good and I think track quite well.  Looking forward to seeing this project in the future.

Yeah, no doubt.  I'd like to hear it with the dipthonizer.

I want it. Nuff Said.

The upper octave is not very strong in this design, it seems. It's there, but the lower octaves are just much stronger. Without the lower octaves it becomes much more prominent. I do plan on trying to tweak the upper a little to see if I can boost it. However, it definitely adds grit to the overall sound.

that sounds amazing!
