This is a modernized recreation of the roger mayer octavia, done the twilight way. This one is the transformerless version. This one has a less extreme high end clang.
I am a MASSIVE hendrix enthusiast. If it was not for him, my life would have gone down a completely different path. I have his music to thank for everything I have today.
There was quite a lot of time spent making this be the best it could possibly be.
Note, that this circuit is LOUD. I keep the volume below center on clean amps, for already clipped amps/dirty channels, crank this bad boy for a nasty, heavy fuzz.
The octave is most pronounced with your guitar tone controls dialed back to the bassy side. With certain guitars, the octave is more prevalent with the neck pickup, and the volume slightly rolled back.
As with many vintage fuzzes, your guitar is apart of the circuit. It will interact different with different guitars. Experiment with the guitar controls to discover new sounds.
