Boss OC-3
The Boss OC-3 is a singular octave pedal that affords the ability to pitch shift a specific frequency range. A useful application for this effect would be preserving the high end of the top three strings while pitch shifting the lower strings at least an octave down.
The OC-3 has three modes: Poly, Octave 2, and Octave Drive. It is compatible with both guitars and bass guitars, and features individual outputs for mix and direct out, meaning its signal can be split to alternate destinations.
