FUZZ- ELECTRO HARMONIX Otavix Fuzz ... almost forgotten little gem

 ELECTRO HARMONIX OCTAVIX FUZZ 
$120.00 USD
Under the radar since this has been out since 2015 and has had steady sales the whole time. When it came out the vibe was indifference. No one made a fuss but those that gave it a try at their local music shop very often took one home.The layout has your standard volume, tone and gain. a toggle lets yo switch between 9 or 24v.
A switch lets you run it between 9 to 24 volts with a 24v adapter provided. Greater voltage allows for higher headroom. At 9v you get the BIAS voltage starved effect. 
In shirt more grit, spit and sputter. It works well over it's total range. With the gain pulled back you get a faux Blues OD type of tone. Full open you get the total spit 
and sputter effect.

CONCLUSION
It is very impressive. You have the the full range between OD like control to out of control.
