The best piece of gear i've purchased the last years. It avoids you from tapdancing on your pedalboard if you like pedals. At a certain moment i had 17 pedals on my board and especially when playing live it's not simple to handle all this. With the octaswitch, I was able to create loops with single pedals or a group of pedals and from there on create 8 combinations. It allowed me finally to go from a rythm sound to a fullblown lead sound with heavy distortion, delay, chorus etc with one push on the pedalboard. My advice, if you have a lot of pedals and you play live, get this!
