Description
OCTAVE employs a novel and warm-sounding octave-up circuit for use in front of fuzz or
other distortion pedals. A bit of the fundamental is preserved so tonality doesn't turn
into a nasty bee sting. By itself this is not a great-sounding pedal, but when driving
something else it becomes absolutely wonderful.
