Fulltone Octafuzz OF-2

46

Effects Pedal

The Strat, Marshal towers, fuzz and wah wah pedals have always been connected immediately and naturally with the legend Jimi Hendrix. Another element that the guitar master repeatedly used is the Tycobrahe Octavia, the first octaver, which was developed by FX mastermind Roger Mayer for Jimi. Fulltone has revived exactly that sound with the Octafuzz OF-2, as usual with the finest components and high-quality production.

To call it an octaver would be to only name half of its components - a fuzz is also on board, and it can be operated alone on the Fulltone thanks to a small toggle switch, which of course makes the device more often usable.

With certain settings the pedal can even sound like a ring modulator, which can be quite interesting. Retro, but at the same time something quite adventurous and made for experimentation!

  • Copy of the famous Tycobrahe Octavia

  • Toggle switch for switching between fuzz and Octave
  • Hand-wired in USA

Great octave fuzz
Don_Murowski 28.07.2019
Great old-skool sounding octave fuzz. For the limited knobs there quite a few sounds to be had, especially when you pair it with other overdrives and when you play the volume knob of your guitar. For the most pronounced octave effect set the boost to zero, us your neck pickup and roll off the volume knob a bit. Or go crazy and set all the knobs to full, put an overdrive pedal after it and (yet again) quite a few sounds to be had with just the controls on your guitar.

I'm not the biggest fan of the fuzz setting (without the octave effect) but the price is worth it just for the ocatvefuzz alone in my opinion. So the fuzz setting is a nice bonus and allright enough.

Only thing you need to keep in mind that it definitely needs it's own power supply since it needs an AC current. So it's not daisy chainable with most pedals. However it does take a battery, which is nice.

Expectation was that this pedal would be very noisy. But is quite! It is possible play clean sound with this pedal than add a bit guitar's volume from clean to overdrive and reach fuzz. Now using it as “overdrive” pedal in fuzze-mode. One surprise - that it has reverse power polarity.

If you plan to use it with batteries, then stay away from it, this little blue monster will suck the juice out of them fairly quickly (I used to unplug the jacks trying to save something).
The sound is the classic octave-up sound, but a little bit darker than others on the market.

Fulltone Octafuzz OF-2
Alan6646 19.09.2014
Great unit from Fulltone. Easily captures the Band Of Gypsies tone from Jimi and more. The Fuzz on its own is also great and very usable. Great for thickening up the tone of a Strat. Also dead quiet. Fantastic pedal allround.
