Beetronics Octahive Custom Cobogo

Beetronics · pedal

The Beetronics OctaHive Custom Cobogo is a hand-painted edition of the OctaHive octave-up fuzz, named for the cobogo latticework motif of its enclosure artwork. The underlying circuit adds an octave above the played note over a layer of fuzz, in the lineage of the Octavia Roger Mayer built for Hendrix, and the octave becomes most pronounced on the neck pickup above the twelfth fret. Custom editions replace the standard octave toggle with a second footswitch for live switching. This entry has no product listing attached, so exact configuration should be confirmed with the seller.
