When he came, however, I let him borrow both the OC-2 and my Danelectro Chili Dog (which also has a combination of regular octave, one octave below and two octaves below). Arild made me sell him my unit, which cost all of $29 USD on line http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Danelectro-DJ12-Chili-Dog-Octave-Pedal?sku=151871 This thing is amazing. I think it tracks better and sounds more naturalistic than the OC-2 and it's hella cheap. I can't more highly recommend it. It's so cheap that it's rather hip to buy two of them (that potentially four octaves of pitch shifting down........wooohoooooo. I did this for a while but then gave my second unit to Sayaka Kabuki to use, my bandmate in Noise Clinic while I played with them...........I'm glad she has it, but I miss it. Of course, this will create very artifacty things, but I personally love using inexepensive pitch shifters and doing things like sending things four octaves up and the bringing them four octaves down.............some beautiful artifacts result. I also use the pricier Boss Pitch Shifter which goes low but I use the Chili Dog for all of my bass needs because it tracks better and sounds more naturalistic. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!!!! rick walker
