New idea?

[dubcut]

O.k., here it is. 

  An octave down in front of an octave up sounds cool, glitchy, real artificial, and the glitchy-goopiness of it is real neat.   Is there anything out there that is like that?  In the same genre as a bit crusher I guess, but different.  Way more unpredictable than a synth etc.  sound cool to anyone?

Are we talking digital shifting, or something like a Boss OC-2 into an Octavia?

I got the sound from two digitech pedals, an RP and an XP.  Both are digital based.  (Don't have any other octave pedals to try)   Thinking one "Glitch" knob could control both shifters inversely..where you could have say 1 step up/down at minimum and 2up/back down octaves at maximum.  The glitchy randomness seems to come from more shifting.  2oct up into two down makes a dying Atari sound. 

   The 'octave pedal' way may be cool too, as there would be less latency.

Ha! I';ve been doing this for awhile already. basically an octaver before a Octavia on RP or before a whammy... lol that was my original reason why i got an octaver. haha to use it with whammy!!

DIYing 2 Whammy-style digital pitch shifters is not easy. You could actually program it in the Spin FV1 if you want to dive into digital.

But, you're in luck, because if you want junky glitchy sound, this project is perfect for that:
