#Guitar octave pedal full
Many of those earlier fuzzes were really quite binary - either Off, or everything on Full - with few if any workable options in between. and on through the various derivations.Īlthough I am a huge fan of those early innovations, I really don’t like those earlier pedals so much as they typically have all kinds of inconsistencies and idiosyncrasies involving over-sized enclosures, odd power-supply requirements, and lack of proper tone-shaping and volume controls.
I really enjoyed JHS Josh Scott’s recent Octave Fuzz YouTube overview (as included below) - where he took the viewer through the history of Octave Fuzz from Roger Mayer and Jimi Hendrix, through the Tycobrahe Octavia, Honey Psychedelic Machine / Shin-ei FY-6 / Univox Super-Fuzz, Ampge Scrambler etc. I’ve found myself increasingly interested in Octave Fuzzes these days, and in fact I have two slightly different ones right now in my pedal-chain - the Anasounds Crankled Bitoun near the front of the chain, and the Beetronics FX Octahive around half-way along - they both have quite different timbres and tonalities, and are furthermore set to sound quite different too, but both create incredibly thick and rich fuzz tones.
