Description
Accurate octaves.
The Bigfoot Engineering guitar octave pedal is inspired by the innovative sounds of Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age). It is completely passive, not requiring batteries or a power supply. It must be plugged in after any buffered effects pedal to operate, allowing you to create octave sounds ranging from clean as a whistle, to downright dirty. The Octo Puss! Reeow!
The Octo Puss has the widest frequency response of any octave pedal on the market, with the perfect balance of crystal clear highs, to thumping lows. As a result, it has far superior note clarity, definition, and tracking. It will even process chords with astounding accuracy.
