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. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.49% — somewhat different

The Dunlop JH-3S is the Jimi Hendrix Octave pedal component from the Jim Dunlop Jimi Hendrix signature series, modeled on the Roger Mayer Octavia octave fuzz used by Hendrix to create the singing upper-octave lead tones heard on recordings including Purple Haze and One Rainy Wish. The JH-3S replicates the Octavia circuit that adds a strong upper-octave harmonic to the fuzz signal, producing the distinctive singing overtone effect most audible on single-note lines in the upper neck register. The pedal is part of Dunlop ongoing commitment to recreating Hendrix-approved signal chain effects.
The MXR M267 Octavio Fuzz is a reissue of the Roger Mayer-designed Octavio octave fuzz pedal originally used by Jimi Hendrix, generating upper octave harmonics combined with fuzz saturation for the distinctive octave fuzz tones heard on Hendrix recordings including Crosstown Traffic and Purple Haze. The circuit uses a transformer to generate the octave-up harmonic overtone above the fuzz-saturated guitar signal. True bypass.
