MI AUDIO POLLYANNA OCTAVE V2

The MI Pollyanna is one of the craziest pedals we've seen in quite some time. If you're looking for an octave/fuzz pedal that's a bit off the beaten path the Pollyanna is the pedal for you!

Features:
- Combination of 2 classic effects types in one pedal.
- Vintage octave up and 1 & 2 octave synth down
- Individual level controls for all 3 octaves
- Global tone control for all octaves
- Dry (original) signal level control (not affected by tone control)
- Input sensitivity control for octave tracking and for octave fuzz sound in high settings
- Standard 9V power supply with true bypass.

SENSITIVITY CONTROL:
 It is an input gain control to the three octave circuits and it works in 2 ways. For the +1 Octave it acts as a level control, and then as the sensitivity control is turned up higher, as a kind of fuzz control. For the -1 & -2 Octaves, this control will adjust the sustain of the synth circuit. The higher the sensitivity control, the longer the sustain. For very low settings of the sensitivity control, you may find that the lower octaves do not track at all. This is normal.

+1 (Octave Up):
This is a vintage octave effect that works by rectifying the audio signal to roughly ‘double’ the frequency. The octave effect is strongest using the neck pickup and playing around the 12th fret.

-1 & -2 Synth (Octave Down):
This is square wave heaven where you can turn an otherwise articulate and dynamic instrument into something resembling a games console (think commodore 64/Atari/Super Mario) from the early eighties.

TONE:
The tone control balances the low and high frequency content of the octave signals only leaving the dry signal as is.

DRY:
This control allows you to dial in a high quality buffered version of the original dry signal to taste.

Specifications:

- 3PDT Footswitch with true bypass
- 9V battery operation or DC port power supply with up to 25V headroom available
