Pigtronix Octava Micro
Pigtronix · pedal
The Pigtronix Octava Micro is a compact octave-up fuzz, a smaller-format version of the Pigtronix Octava. It generates a harmonically rich upper octave above the played note and blends it with a saturated fuzz voice, giving the searing, vocal, ring-modulated character associated with classic octave-fuzz circuits. The octave effect tracks most clearly on single notes played above the twelfth fret and around the neck pickup, and turns thick and intermodulated on chords, which is characteristic of the design rather than a fault.
