Jimi Hendrix might be called the father of effect pedals, with his innovative use of distortion pedals, wah-wahs, vibes and phase shifters. So it’s no surprise that the legendary guitarist was one of the earliest to experiment with an octave divider.
Octavius lets you get that classic octave-down effect you’ll recognise from Hendrix’ “Machine Gun” and other recordings. But it also lets you add in a high octave so you can hit your audiences with a sonic wall of three-octave lead lines.
An octave divider or any other pedal is only as good as it sounds, and you can count on Octavius to deliver all the warm, vintage-sounding tone you’d expect from T-Rex.
- Octavius tri-tone generator has 4 controls: LO OCT, HIGH OCT, MASTER MIX and BOOST.
- The LO OCT knob lets you set the volume of the lower octave signal produced by the pedal.
- The HIGH OCT knob controls the volume of the higher octave signal produced by the pedal.
- The balance between the levels of these 2 knobs is what creates your particular octave-divided sound. Experiment with your mix, and you’ll be amazed at the variety of effects you’ll get.
- The MASTER MIX knob lets you set the overall volume of your low and high octaves compared to your direct signal.
- Use the BOOST knob to control the output of your octave-divided sound. The boost function lets you dial in a solo level, whether the overdrive circuit is activated or not.
