Really can't say anything bad about most MXR pedals and this one is no different. Not really very diverse, just a one trick pony kind of thing but it's a helluva trick. Real fat sounding fuzz and killer sub octave tone.

The best way to describe this pedal is unique. The pedal obviously like all MXR stomp boxes are very rugged. Also it is very simple. 2 knobs an output and blend. The output just controlls the volume. The blend controls the amount mixed between the fuzz-face-esq distortion and the sound of 2 octaves below the note played. just by rotating the blend knob you can get some very unique sounds almost like a synthisizer. I found the smoothest blend between the two is somewhere around the 2-3 o'clock position. This is a reat pedal to just use as a distoration as well, just crank the blend all the way to 5o'clock. All in all depending on what kind of music you play this guy would be one of those pedals to keep in your bag of tricks on your pedal board due to its wide variety of sound. I've run it thru a clean head on the 2-3 oclock followed by a phase 90 and delay and the sound was incredible. the sound was thick, full and rich and the best way to then controll the distortion would be to just roll back the volume knob. There really isnt anything negative to say about this pedal. The one thing i could think of is depending on how big of a gig / what volume your playing at there could be decent amount of feedback, but i fixed that with a noise gateRead full review
The effect and the cables are very nice, the MXR "Blue Box" gives your guitar a very deep fuzzy tone. I recommend to turn of your distortion when you use the "Blue Box" because the blue box on it's own provides the perfect tone. You can do a lot of cool things with this effect. Compared to the BOSS "OC-3 SUPER Octave", the "Blue Box" is not quite as nice because there are a couple less things you can do with it, but for me, the "Blue Box" has all I need no more, no less. It is cheaper than the BOSS "OC-3 SUPER Octave" and I would say just as good. I recommend the MXR "Blue Box" to any one who wants to get a little wild with their guitar playing.
This is a great effect! Awesome engineering as Jim Dunlop's MXR products has always presented. The true bypass feature and the high-end quality materials make it very reliable and dependable. This Octavie-Fuzzer pedal is very sensitive and delivers as it should. Very Hendrix indeed. It is also very small and will not take a lot of space in your board. I actually believe this pedal will exceed all your expectations. You will not be dissappointed at all. Ships fast. Highly recommended.
Sounds great! Great brand.
