MXR Poly Blue Octave vs Electro-Harmonix Pitchfork

Thanks to this!!!

Thanks for this, I play viola and it's so hard to gauge tracking from watching guitar reviews of octave pedals.

As a guitar player, I'm selling my Pitchfork and receiving my MXR PBO early next week.

I'm thinking of doing the same. What's your reasoning?

[@markferguson3745]

I've used both, and though I was initially excited about the PB, (- and the PF does have some clock sounds and questionable bypass)- I still think the PF sounds better.Less artificial and stilted, and because I'm not really using organ type sounds or the Fuzz( I have several that are much better), I'll just put in back in the bypass loop I had it in for years.( I tried the PF + version, but prefer the original there as well) TBH, over several decades and a lot of pedals, MXR never make the cut,- but I was hopeful this time.

PF sounds like shit, it draws only 35 mA, it's very simple light algorythms with poor tracking, neither pog.

@@andytrendy4841The specs, very simply, don't always add up to the sound you're looking for .I have a synth, and if I don't want to sound like a guitar, I use that.

@@markferguson3745 specs matter, don't find musical plastic sound and delay. if you want low fi, go towards analog pedals

What is the name of the classical piece you played? Thanks for the review.. I will be keeping the Pitchfork.

Thank you. It was the Bach Prelude from Cello Suite 1
