Description

Edit description

Unleash the nostalgic tones of rock's golden era with the Shin-ei 8ctavarius fuzz pedal, a modern homage to the legendary Tycobrahe octave effect. Revered by guitar legends like Jimi Hendrix, this pedal encapsulates the sonic essence of the late 60s with precision and flair. Crafted using only the highest quality components, the 8ctavarius replicates the iconic fuzzy, octave-tinged sound that shaped rock history.

Its intuitive design features Volume and Boost knobs, allowing you to effortlessly sculpt your sound to perfection. Whether you're chasing that elusive vintage tone or seeking to forge your own sonic identity, the 8ctavarius delivers with its authentic circuitry and reliable performance. The pedal offers both battery and external power options, making it a versatile choice for any setup. With its user-friendly bottom plate design, battery changes are a breeze, thanks to the two convenient thumb screws.

Key Features:

Faithful reproduction of the iconic early 70's octave effect
High-quality components for superior sound fidelity
Volume and Boost control knobs for tailored sound shaping
Convenient thumb screw access for quick battery changes
9 VDC power jack for flexible power options (center pin negative)
Compact and durable design perfect for gigging musicians
