Octopus

OCTAVER

The Octopus is a monophonic octave, it uses an analog circuit to produce lower and higher octaves. That is, your signal is never converted into zeros, this makes this pedal sound truly unique. The octave-down is a strong, full-bodied bass as the octave-up is a sharp treble. As it is monophonic, it traces one note at a time – especially when using the lower octave. The truth is, you will not need to play more notes when its playing for you, filling the sound spectrum with its octaves and their harmonics. It traces skillfully the largest part of the scale, especially the area between the 5th and 17th houses, which respond very well to both octaves. Also a stunner on the bass, generating that sub-grave staggering bass. The sound of Octopus is absolutely more interesting than all the digital octavers out there. Its bass octave is insanely fat and organic, it really sounds like a strong Bass, or a 2.5 to 5.4 magnitude earthquake depending on the frequency. The sound of its treble octave goes from a behaved tone to that strident octave, well noticed and full of harmonics, more like a 60s fuzz. This natural versatility contrasts with the tone of digital octavers, that sound artificial and sterile.
