Title: Best Octave Fuzz pedal
Post by: Ian Price on October 10, 2008, 07:54:01 PM

I'm looking for a top quality Octave Fuzz pedal - going through a major Hendrix phase at the moment and am looking out for something that will get me all fuzzed up.

Any suggestions?

I really like the HomeBrew Electronics U.F.O (Ultimate Fuzz Octave) myself.

1 thing I like about it is that it has a selector for vintage or modern fuzz, and also that the octave is switchable on/off at anytime

BYOC will give you the best sound/£ but you gotta make it.....

you can order the byoc pedals pre-made at a little extra cost.  i have a couple and the build quality is excellent.  some might say it defeats the purpose of getting a kit, but i would never have got the damn thing put together!

Another vote for the HBE UFO here. . .the Fulltone Ultimate octave is very good too.

I'd suggest a Foxx Tone Machine, it's been reissued and there's also a lot of clones about

If it's good enough for Billy Gibbons .....
