A new breed of octave fuzz based on a lost circuit that belongs to no known lineage. Three effects all contained across one knob. A tribute to an unknown pioneer who deserved to be famous.
- An octave fuzz topology that has never been replicated for production — until now
- One knob sweeps through three distinct effects: swell, fuzz, and octave
- Exceptional touch sensitivity and volume-knob cleanup — rare for any fuzz, unheard of in an octave fuzz
ONE KNOB. THREE WORLDS.
The Swell / Fuzz / Octave control is the heart of this pedal. It sweeps continuously through three distinct zones — each one a different effect.
Swell — Notes bloom in with a gated, reverse-tape-like quality. The attack is softened and delayed, rising smoothly instead of hitting all at once. This happens because the final stage of the circuit is allowed to turn on gradually rather than instantly, easing the signal into the stage and creating a natural swell that responds to picking dynamics. We've only ever seen one other pedal attempt this — a thousand-dollar vintage pedal with a dedicated footswitch for it. Glenn built it into a knob sweep.
Fuzz — At noon, a fully realized fuzz tone. Not a Fuzz Face. Not a Big Muff. The texture sits in Tone Bender territory — rich low end, aggressive mids, the kind of fuzz that handles chords. Shoegaze. Psychedelic rock. Grown-up fuzz.
Octave — When the control is clockwise, the clipping becomes intentionally uneven, shifting the harmonic balance of the signal. Even-order harmonics, especially the second harmonic, rise to the front, creating a strong octave-up character on single notes. This is pure Hendrix territory — and Glenn, who met Jimi several times in Greenwich Village, was always pointing to this sound. He landed on that iconic Hendrix tone perfectly, his own way.
The transitions between zones are continuous. Explore everything in between.
