Boss OC2, anything better?

[supersonic]

I love the Boss OC2 Octaver but I have to use a looper to minimize tone loss. Is there anything else out there that sounds as good and is "True Bypass"? Maybe a buffer may fix it? Any experiences with this pedal?

Yeah I saw this. There's also the issue on the Boss pedal being noisy. So I guess I'm looking for an alternative pedal.

foxrox pedals are true bypass

octron and octron 2 .. however it's one octave down and one octave up like the micro pog, awesome pedals tho

as for 1 and 2 octaves down and true bypass , i found this:

markbass octaver

this is a great place to browse pedals, maybe some of the others in the list are also true bypass:

I think Zvex makes an Octaver type pedal. It might be an octave-up fuzz though, not sure... That dude makes some excellent stuff!

I tried a Foxrox not my thing, too digital/metallic sounding, I bought a Modtone not my thing either. Trex Octavius looks good, I have a Trex Reptile delay and really like it, but I'd prefer something smaller that runs on 9v DC. 8 Ball sounds pretty good. Thanks for the link.
