Octavia

This is a modernized recreation of the roger mayer octavia, done the twilight way. This one is the transformerless version. This one has a slightly more normal harmonic nature.

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.

That said, I would not release these for sale if I did not believe they did not pay proper homage to Hendrix. It absolutely nails that late hendrix sound. I spent a LOT of time tweaking this circuit.

Note, that this circuit is STUPID 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.
