Based on the DALLAS RANGEMASTER treble booster, as used by Clapton in the Bluesbreakers, Rory Gallagher, Brian May and Tony Iommi. This booster adds treble and gain, and Cesar added a HI/MID/LO switch to choose an EQ setting which the original pedal did not have.

Elliot Easton, Guitarist from The Cars wrote :

This is a sort of 3 position boost (Hi,Mid,Low) with a VERY interactive gain control.On the "HI" setting, I found that a Rickenbacker 12-string with lots of compression gets that perfect Vox treble boost sound that McGuinn employed on the Byrds stuff. The "Low" setting really adds girth to a Srat for a very big ,"Hendrixy" effect.Those looking for that type of flexibility in a pedal should just go buy it.Today.Everything seems to benefit from being run through it. A wonderful addition to your signal chain-whatever you play!

Yes, we all know the best amplifiers for this style of music should cost more than the average working person’s automobile, but if you aren’t #blessed to own one of those, “The Blues” will deliver all the delicious artisanal mojo infusion vintage boutique hardwired bespoke sonic unobtanium you’ve ever been craving.

It can go from transparent "always-on" light drive in one mode to a gnarly raw drive in the other.

If our Hawaiian Pizza is 30% drive and 70% fuzz, this is more like 85% drive, 15% fuzz. It’s a very straightforward circuit with a couple twists, and if someone were to say “is that all there is to it?” our reply would be “it was all that we needed.”     To all the blues doctors, blues lawyers, and blues financial planners who keep our industry afloat: thank you! We kid, because candidly, we kinda envy.

The OCTAVIA is probably our most famous and distinctive creation. This guitar effect was designed in early 1967 and featured on "Purple Haze" and "Fire" by Jimi. It's unique tones can also be heard on such tracks as "One Rainy Wish", "Little Miss Lover", "Little Wing", "Machine Gun" etc.

The OCTAVIA produces a sound that is an octave higher than the note you are presently playing. This doubling effect is accomplished through electronic mirror imaging techniques that are program sensitive and also respond to the feedforward inputs of the player. The electronic circuitry is analogue in design and will react faithfully to all the subtleties and harmonic overtones from the guitar. The effect produced is very unique but human in quality. The unit that is manufactured today is representative of the latest evolution of Octavia that Jimi used and contains the feedforward and gating effect that my earlier evolutions lacked. The modern clones today often copy the Tycobrahe unit that in fact was a rip off of my earlier 24 volt versions. These units were not designed to work optimally with 9 volts and in fact you would be buying a clone of a copy so it makes sense to buy a unit from the man who invented it.

Electronically the OCTAVIA is an analogue circuit with the properties of a frequency doubler, envelope generator and amplitude modulator with addition frequency shaping filter circuits. The effect produced is subtle to wild depending on the settings used and will respond to the attack of the player. A clean tone from the guitar with say the tone rolled control rolled off will produce "ring modulated" overtones that characterise the solo to "Who knows". The sound is tangibly different if a fuzz unit is in front of the Octavia: an upper octave double is created, clearly demonstrated in the solo to "Purple Haze". The bright harmonics are more controllable if the neck pickup is selected and the tone control set to roll off the treble. The effect really comes into it's own on the top E and B strings from the 7th fret up. A clean and precise picking style is essential with particular attention to accurate fretting techniques.

Jimi placed the Octavia after a fuzz and wah unit in most cases so it would react to the combined effects of both the wah and one or more fuzz boxes. It is important to experiment with how much signal you are driving the Octavia with as this has a great influence on the sound produced.
