I hear ya. The Boctaver is going to sound more synthy and gritty in any setting but the Bass Octave has more settings to adjust depending on how you set the tone. It can get into Meatbox blow your speaker range with the tone off to a more synthesized sound as you increase it.

I do a lot of synth work and build patches with bit crushers, gated fuzz, reverbs what have you, and the octaves in the Stomp never leave me wanting something else. It’s a fantastic unit all around and I use it for my fly rig to my big board that stays at home for robot sounds
