Octopus

 



If you are looking for great octave, fuzz, and ring mod type tones then the Octopus is for you. We have taken the famous Tycobrahe Octavia circuit and reproduced it with one simple but effective modification. Now you don't need to turn your tone knob to zero to get great octave tones. Simply leave the Mod switch in the up position and when you turn on the effect the signal hits a simple low pass filter (just like the tone knob on your guitar), allowing the octave effect to be heard better. If you want the classic Octavia sound just flip the Mod switch down.
Cost $160

Here is a clip with the mod switch up and the intensity knob down. The signal path is telecaster>Octopus>Fuzz>18 Watt Amp. This setting will give the best octave sounds. The first four licks alternate between just fuzz and fuzz plus octopus.

Here is a clip where you'll hear the intensity knob being turned up. As the intensity is turned up the pedal becomes more fuzz and less octave. The mod switch is down. Signal path is tele>Octopus>18 Watt.

Here is a clip with the intensity down, mod switch out, and the tone knob on the guitar turned all the way down. Signal path is tele>Octopus>Fuzz>18 Watt.

 

 

 

Little Red Rocket



The Little Red Rocket is based on the 2-knob Sola Sound Tonebender MKII pedal made famous by Jimmy Page, the Beatles and others. It's brighter than the Fuzz and is definitely a more snarly, unruly pedal with three germanium transistors under the hood! The only changes from the original are as follows; Metal Film resistors to reduce noise, more output, a bias pot, and higher quality capacitors such as Orange Drops and tantalum.
Cost: $205

Here is a clip where you will hear chords first played with no effect and then with the Rocket engaged.

Here is a clip where you will hear single notes first played with no effect and then with the Rocket engaged.
