The Sub'N'Up is a surprisingly capable little octaver, especially considering the price. Its polyphonic tracking is a huge win, and the TonePrint feature lets you customize it way beyond a simple octave effect – great for adding depth to clean tones or creating aggressive, synth-like sounds for modern genres.
