Sub Octave Fuzz
Inspired by the PAiA Roctave Divider, which combined a double octave shift with a fuzz
effect, resulting in deep fat square wave distortion.
Octave Fuzz
Based on the Tycobrahe® Octavia, another example of a fuzz plus octave effect. The
Octavia used an audio output transformer and two germanium diodes to rectify the guitar
signal, creating the high octave type sound. Jimi Hendrix used one on “Purple Haze”.
Boost Comp
Based on the MXR® Micro Amp. This effect was used to “push” the front-end of non-
master volume tube amps in order to achieve a cranked sound at less than stadium levels.

Bass Octaver
The Bass Octaver was inspired by the EBS® OctaBass. It provides a clean octave down
signal. Although this effect is great for bass, it’s also popular with guitarists such as the
legendary Jeff Beck.
