MXR M267 Octavio Fuzz

MXR · pedal

The MXR M267 Octavio Fuzz is a recreation of the Tycobrahe Octavia, the vintage octave fuzz used by Jimi Hendrix on Purple Haze and Fire, delivering the characteristic upper octave fuzz saturation that defined Hendrix's most experimental lead work. The Octavio produces an upper octave above the fundamental note, creating a complex, singing lead tone that became one of the most iconic sonic signatures in rock guitar history.
