Beetronics Octahive Shop Origami
Beetronics · pedal
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.
