Re: What is you favorite Octave Fuzz?
Recently bought a Caroline Guitar Co Shigeharu Fuzz and it’s excellent. Expansive tone with lots of touch sensitivity and option for octave on or off. Pete Thorn does a demo on YouTube that’s compelling. I highly recommend looking into it. Covers sputtery splat gateded mess to concentrated harmonic fuzz.
I use to own a Zvex Fuzzfactory ages ago and never found it to be very versatile and sort of gave up on fuzzes.... Faith restored!

Re: What is you favorite Octave Fuzz?
I got a Sonus Octavium a couple of years ago, and I love it.

It's unashamedly retro - the guys behind Sonus are complete Hendrix nuts, and this pedal is the best of this type I've heard. I've also got a Fulltone Octafuzz, which I like, but it's not as good as the Sonus.
Sonus have recently put out another octave, this time based on a Foxx Tone Machine, but I haven't tried it. The demos on the site look good.
Cheers!

I don't know anything about Octave Fuzzes, but Joe Gore just released his Screech Octave Fuzz, with as usual a great video demo :

Re: What is you favorite Octave Fuzz?
In a pinch...
FY6 Super Fuzz.
The early Ibanez Standard Fuzz wasn't too shabby either.
I have a couple of other things in mind that haven't been mentioned here, so I think i'll just wait until I get this rig of mine sorted out properly.
I have been on extended hiatus, need to repurchase or replace a few bits and pieces.
In the meantime, who's used a ZVex Machine and an octave pedal together?

Wattson SuperFuzz or Creepy Fingers version, both stellar. On the cheap, the Dano French Toast is hard to beat.

Re: What is you favorite Octave Fuzz?
It used to be my collection a few years back, yes...I've had over 30 Zvex pedals come through my collection in the past (my current count is 6, I think)offsets4life wrote: ↑Fri Jul 27, 2018 3:54 pm
