Behringer Octavia Octave Fuzz
Behringer · pedal
The Behringer Octavia Octave Fuzz is an analog pedal based on the Roger Mayer Octavia circuit, the original octave fuzz created for Jimi Hendrix and heard throughout his late-1960s recordings. The circuit combines a silicon fuzz stage with a transformer-based frequency doubler that adds a high octave one octave above the fundamental, producing the psychedelic, synth-like overtones associated with Hendrix solos. Works best on the upper frets of the guitar neck above the 12th fret, where single-note lines have the most harmonic definition for clean octave tracking. True bypass and a fully analog circuit preserve signal integrity.
