Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Beetronics OC-BS is a custom shop variant from Beetronics FX. The OC designation likely refers to the Octahive, Beetronics octave-up fuzz pedal, in a specific custom finish. The Octahive produces aggressive upper-octave fuzz tones suited for psychedelic rock, classic rock leads, and experimental sounds. Beetronics custom shop pieces are built in very small hand-finished runs with unique bee-themed artwork and boutique-grade components. The OC-BS represents a limited collectible variant of the Octahive circuit.
The Beetronics OctaHive Shop Origami is a hand-finished shop edition of the OctaHive octave-up fuzz, its artwork based on folded-paper geometry. The circuit produces an octave above the played note layered over fuzz, following the Octavia lineage Roger Mayer established building for Hendrix, and responds most strongly on the neck pickup high on the fretboard. Beetronics shop editions are individually decorated in small numbers. This entry has no product listing attached, so the exact configuration and whether it carries the custom-edition second footswitch should be confirmed with the seller.
