FUZZ- PIGTRONICS Octava Micro ...8 years on and still Rockin' !

 P I G T R O N I C S 

OCTAVA 

$120.00 USD

The Octava is a take on the original Tycobrahe Octavia an Octave 

Fuzz that does a thing choking the signal forcing it to reverse 

back up towards the input. The side effect is that squeals up an 

octave while making a huge squelching noise and then drops 

out like it has a hard gate. Pigtronics do a good take on it.

The layout is Volume, Blend, Filter and Gain.

     CONCLUSION ___

The thing about the Pigtronix is it sounds very good. It is 

easy to pull out a great sound without having to fight it. 

It is a pedal most guys will use very sparingly so having it in a mini pedal tucked in a corner of your board makes a lot of sense. Yes Behringer make an excellent $80 clone of the Tycobrahe. They even nail the enclosure. The pedal is large and not quite as user friendly. But as for tone there isn't a bad choice.
