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.

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.
The Suhr Rufus Fuzz, Black Edition is a cosmetic variant of the Rufus Reloaded fuzz, sharing the identical 3-band EQ, mf(x) Normal/Octave footswitch technology, and fuzz circuit as the standard Rufus, distinguished only by its black enclosure finish rather than any circuit change. It offers the same dynamic, tactile octave-up mode and full tonal shaping as other Rufus versions, appealing to players who prefer the blacked-out aesthetic alongside the pedal's established tone.
