fuzz octave has all the old analog
a big box design "space" without an LED footswitch input and output knobs 2
for the price it could still a LED meter !!!!!!


UTILIZATION

one branch and two zou knob
knob the fuzz first (drive) 2nd knob volume

fuzz drive module octaver
according to the impedance of the guitar is useful .......

SOUND QUALITY

historically it is the second octave roger mayer
Roger Mayer has created the first transformer base has "octavio".
tycobrahe was then transplanted the circuit while Mister Rogers reviewed his copy and change the principle of the transformer diodes ...... cheaper and less bulky almost similar response ..... and all the brands we followed the principle ....
and later integrated circuit was succeeded in synthesizing real octaves ... but that's another story ......

OVERALL OPINION

I tested this model .. cloned version transformer and cloned several times this model (DIY)

is the sound of solo hendrix ..... bends when the screaming ......... kind of recovery under the American anthem lsd ...
a try with Marseille after a bottle of red wine !!!!!!!!

WARNING this is not a very special octaver "modern" which recreates octave at the same level as the original signal is something very subtle on some harmonics ....
we like it or not
it unusable power chords (especially the drive .... very thoroughly draft): (
play and preferably with a stratum
exclusively from the 12th fret with the knob tone right up in the bass (treble cut) on the mic ... serious or intermediate position and notes that solo.
therefore controllable from microphones and tone;)

it is a pedal which s'aprivoise
somewhat capricious
the principle he plugged his guitar hendrix fuzz face one of the module and just wahwah octaver ..... in fact it is missing from this pedal an equation or even an insert to plug a wah
because the more he swings a signal dull the effect more octaves (acute harmonic) means (that's why hendrix wah plugged a front controller for the effect octaves)

there is the above model is much better because there is a tone
the vision octavia
the sudden become controllable effect "Octave" is a worse and led !!!!!!
(Wah luxury!)

pedal at almost booked a fan of Hendrix at solo .... which ironically is when even a guitar player more than difficult to mimic the level has to !!!!!!!!

a try before you buy ..... especially since it's expensive
you pay the roger mayer hendrix Because ....

if you are a fan of hendrix rush you need it !!!!!
