Stevie Ray Vaughan's Fuzz Effects Pedals
According to Guitar World: "Another key effect that Vaughan used to emulate Hendrix tones was an Octavia fuzz pedal that produces octave-up effects. Vaughan initially used Roger Mayer Octavia pedals (housed in distinctive “spaceship” metal boxes), but when Diaz located three New Old Stock Tycobrahe Octavia pedals, Vaughan switched to those.
His guitar tech, Rene Martinez, says that Stevie thought the Tycobrahe pedal produced the best Octavia effect he had ever heard. Vaughan especially liked how the Octavia sounded when used along with a Tube Screamer." March 2013 Issue, page 65.
On display with other equipment owned by SRV, this Fuzz Face is displayed at Guitar Center in Austin, Texas.

The Octavia can be seen on the very end of his pedal chain (far left).
The Texas Square face was originally designed as a replacement for Stevie's fuzz faces, which were always dying. Cesar Diaz built his circuit into one of Stevie's dead fuzz face boxes and Stevie used it until his unfortunate death.
