Electro-Harmonix Octavix Octave Fuzz Pedal

Our Take:

For a versatile fuzz box at a reasonable price, look no further than Electro-Harmonix's Octavix! The Octavix provides that iconic late '60s fuzzed-out, octave up tone, with an added bonus: a mini-toggle that lets you select between 9 or 24 volt power rails. The 9V mode delivers the quintessential "saggy" fuzz, while a quick switch to the 24V tightens up the voicing and provides a little more depth to the octave fuzz. Plus, the true bypass circuit ensures an untainted signal path.

EHX's Take:

The EHX Octavix delivers the definitive late 1960’s fuzzed out, octave up sound together with modern enhancements that update the classic concept. The Octavix features Volume, Boost and Octave knobs. Volume regulates the output level of the pedal, Boost controls the amount of fuzz, and Octave adjusts the volume of the octave above. A mini-toggle lets the player select between 9 or 24 volt power rails and determines the power supply voltage for the entire circuit. At 9V, the pedals behaves like the classic, saggy fuzz box. At 24V, the Octavix delivers a tighter sound and a richer octave tone. True bypass ensures maximum signal path integrity.
