---I don't use pedals much. Looking for advise for those that do. I want to get that accordion sound one can get from an octave harmonica on a recording. I was wonder if I can approximate that effect with an Octave pedal, rather than buying an octave harmonica which would only be mainly used for this one song?-------

I considered both options and decided to apply the KISS principal (keep it simple, stupid) in my playing. I worked to improve playing octaves on diatonics (and chromatics) and incorporating that technique when I want that octave sound instead of a pedal or octave harmonica.
FYI: Octaves are easier on chromatic as the notes you block are consistantly spaced.
