OCTAVIO® FUZZ

A pedal that recreates the classic octave fuzz sound, based on the upper-octave fuzz known for its use by Jimi Hendrix. Controls are a simple two-knob layout of OUTPUT and FUZZ. With FUZZ rolled all the way down, it produces the piercing tone known as the shrieking sound, where only the upper octave is emphasized; turning it up yields a thick fuzz sound.

A recreation of the upper-octave fuzz known for its shrieking sound

A pedal that recreates the classic octave fuzz sound, based on the upper-octave fuzz famous for its use by Jimi Hendrix.

Upper octave combined with fuzz

It combines a distinctive effect that layers an octave above the original note with a thick fuzz sound. It suits solos and lead playing where the notes need to stand out.

Simple two-knob operation

The only controls are OUTPUT and FUZZ. Rolling FUZZ all the way down produces the piercing tone known as the shrieking sound, with only the upper octave emphasized, and turning it up shifts toward a thick fuzz sound.

  • An upper-octave fuzz in the lineage of Jimi Hendrix's gear
  • Piercing tone known as the shrieking sound with FUZZ at minimum
  • Simple two-knob layout with only OUTPUT and FUZZ
