MIDI-Controlled Multi-FX pedal with decent Octave/Harmony tracking

Can anyone recommend anything? Looking to kick the Boss PS-6 off the board to replace it with a toolbox.

Obviously the H9 is going to come up here but that's well out of my price bracket at the moment.

So suggestions welcome. I'm looking for really good tracking for single note octave and harmony; polyphonic would be a plus too...

MIDI compatibility would also be great so i can use different effects other than the Pitchshifting.

Line 6 M5. Not polyphonic but decent tracking, some interesting preset scale choices (pentatonics, whole tone...) and has MIDI. Also does whammy pedal stuff with an expression pedal. Plenty of other stuff onboard that's worth having too. There's one in the classifieds for about £70 at the moment. 

FWIW, I have my M5 in an order switcher looper thing that lets me put it in front of my amp or in the effects loop (pre- and post-distortion, basically). Worth considering, although it does somewhat negate the MIDI switching stuff.

@english_bob So can it do harmonies in a particular key like the PS-6 can? Like I use a 3rd harmony for a line in a song in G minor...

Whammy has midi. Pitchfactor is quite cheap 2nd hand these days.

Yep.

With the expression pedal you can even set up two sets of parameters within a single patch- I've got one set up to harmonize in thirds, but with the pedal in heel down position it switches to a major second interval.

I don't actually use it, I just wanted to see if I could

No MIDI, unless I'm missing something important.
