Zvex – Octane III Octave Fuzz

Remember the late sixties? Jimi turning everyone on to wild fuzz stuff? Maybe not. But you don’t have to be old enough to be a hippie to get off on this wild pedal. The circuit uses a combination of germanium diode and transistor fuzz generation and a ring modulator to turn simple chords into nutso note combinations and complex chords into incredible noise…and makes solos soar impossibly high.
Octane III Improvements
The newest Octane IIIhas the exact same audio circuit as the older ones, but has a special LED switching system that preserves the true-bypass while adding an LED on/off indicator. Also, this switching system silences the pedal’s circuitry while it is in the “off” mode so it doesn’t squeal or hiss in the background. Finally, there are two improvements to reduce radio reception, which was a serious problem with the older designs, and the main reason whyZVEX discontinued the pedal in the first place. All issues previously found on the Octane II have been addressed for trouble free quiet operation.

The Painting on the pedal may vary from a pedal to another.
