How's the tracking on the Digitech Drop when used as octaver?

I'm considering getting a Digitech Drop as I've joined a band with a variety of different tunings and if I can get away with it i'd rather pack a pedal than lug around an extra bass for all the rehearsals. I've read many of the reviews on how the Drop works in this scenario on bass already.

What i'm wondering is how well it does the job as a straight Octaver pedal, using the Octave + Dry setting? If it does a reasonable job this might kill 2 birds with one stone, as some of the tracks we cover could do with an Octaver on bass. (Will be used with 4 string only tuned to standard or drop D)

I'm a big fan/user of the Drop on guitar. The octave + dry does work well there although there is a slight volume drop. I've used it on bass as well, I think it's all right for clean playing, it gets a little muddy for playing that is fast and/or has movement.
