Beetronics Octahive Custom Boomerang

Beetronics · pedal

The Beetronics OctaHive Custom Boomerang is a hand-finished edition of the OctaHive octave fuzz, which adds an octave above the played note in the tradition of the Octavia circuit Roger Mayer built for Hendrix. Beetronics custom editions carry individually painted enclosures — Boomerang being one such artwork run — and the custom versions also swap the standard model's octave toggle for a second footswitch, making the octave switchable while playing. The bee-themed decoration extends to custom PCB artwork inside the pedal. It suits psychedelic and blues players who want octave fuzz in a one-off finish.
