Will the FoxRox Octron do louder than unity gain?

[wickenspoet]

It seems that a lot of octave down pedals seem to lose volume or presence when engaged... just the nature of the octave down effect I guess.

The most recent one I read about was the EHX Octave Multiplexer. I heard it's good, but suffers from volume drop when turned on.

As another example, the Micro Pog can match unity gain when any of the 3 dials are maxed, but it can't go louder than unity.

I was looking into the Fox Rox Octron pedal (especially for analog octave down sounds) and I was wondering if anyone knows what position the 3 control knobs on the Fox Rox Octron pedal would be at to equal unity gain... and if the 3 levels can be set louder than unity gain?

Any other octave pedals that are too quiet? Any others that are plenty loud enough?

PM TGWIF. He has one and knows a ton about them.

I can't answer your specific question, but with an Octron II, in addition to the bypass switch, there are seperate volume controls and on-off switches for all three octaves (direct signal, octave up, and octave down.

Since each has its own volume control it is possible for the ocatve down to be louder than the direct signal. In fact, since each has its own switch, you can elect to hear the octave down (or ocatve up) signal alone.

If I recall correctly, the direct signal can be set above the bypassed direct signal.

I should know more about them, but mine has been temporarily off my board for about a year. That will be corrected very soon.

I have the Octron2, and on the direct level control, unity is around 1-2 o'clock (as set in the photo below...let's call it 1:30!), so there's plenty to spare.
