Octavia Rocket

Sonically, the Voodoo-Bass is similar to that original Voodoo-1 pedal (as in Jimi's "Voodoo Chile"), giving anything from a slight natural crunch to a smooth powerful distortion. At maximum gain it makes a medium-sized combo sound like something about four times bigger, but without the over-compressed wall of noice associated with most stomp boxes. In fact it allows for very dynamic playing; chug a chord from soft-and-damped to loud-and-ringing and the pedal goes with you - from quiet and relatively clean to over-the-edge grunge. Alternatively, simply control your overall volume ( and hence amount of distortion ) from your guitar's volume knob. 
The Voodoo-Bass is designed to give a single coil pickup a gutsier tone, more like that of a classic humbucker. It definitely gets into same ball park... the low middle stays thick and constant no matter how the tone is set, and it's this region that has the humbucker character - a really handy approximation for someone wanting a change of sound at the press of a button." " The Voodoo-Bass sounds refreshingly unboxy, and with most types of amps it does the job really professionally."

Octavia

The first Octavia pedal was designed by Roger Mayer in early 1967. It was created specifically for Jimi Hendrix, who used it on iconic tracks such as “Purple Haze” and “Fire”. This pedal was a groundbreaking effect that produced an octave higher tone than the original note played, achieved through electronic mirror imaging techniques.
