A better octaver (i.e. POG)

POG? What's that?

There are a few varieties but I liked the POG2 when I owned it.

Agreed. The octave down is really good. The up octave could at least use a low pass filter, like the POG 2 has. It’s nice for taking the edge off.

High pass filter would be a good Idea

The Formant Shift can be used to adjust the character of the pitch shifted voices. Turning it down can take the harshness out of high harmonies, and turning it up can take away the “half speed” character of low harmonies.

Paul, I thought this too, but Formant Shift messes badly with the added intervals in some cases.

Try the following, set up distorted rig. put the chromatic pitch in one of the pre amp located stomp blocks.
set up -12 and +12 for the additional voices, mix at about 0 (50 percent of the signal), voice balance slightly on the octave up side.
It should basically sound like Joe Satriani's Super Colossal.

Now play a root, for example B on the low E-string together with the major third, D# one octave higher, e.g. at the 8th fret of the G-string.
This interval works well with no additional soft buttons, and with Smooth Chords and/or Pure Tuning engaged,
but as soon as you activate the Formant Shift to remove a little of the hi end frequencies - let's say a value between -0.4 and -2
the pitch shifter turns into really a nasty ring modulator, adding odd intervals.

This result might have mathematical/technical reasons, and might aswell be intended behaviour simply because the formants are shifted, right?

I think that the pitchshifter should really have a HPF and LPF like many of other algorithms to be able to sound more like the e.g. Ehx POG pedals.
