Vintage 1968 King-Vox Octavoice II – Rare First-Gen Analog Octave / Brass Model


Own a piece of the "Ampliphonic" revolution. This is a 1968 King-Vox Octavoice II, a pioneering analog octave divider designed by the Thomas Organ Company. Known for its distinct space-age aesthetic, this unit offers a variety of "instrument" voices that provide sub-octave and frequency-shaped tones unlike any modern pedal.

While originally intended for wind instruments, the Octavoice II has become a "secret weapon" for experimental guitarists and studio producers looking for the specific, lo-fi analog glitch of late-60s tech. It provides a thick, monophonic sub-octave that feels more like an organ than a modern shifter. This is a rare, high-condition survivor from the most innovative era of Vox/Thomas Organ production.

Technical Specs

* Year: 1968

* Manufacturer: King-Vox / Thomas Organ Co.

* Controls: Multi-switch Voice Selectors (Brass, Reed, etc.)

* Enclosure: Steel with Chrome Switch Plate

* Rarity: Extremely high; few surviving units are in working condition.

Why

* The "Original" Octaver: This predates almost every "octave" pedal on the market. It is the grandfather of the Boss OC-2.

* Studio Mojo: If you want your guitar to sound like a weird 60s synthesizer or a haunted organ, this is the only way to get that specific tracking behavior.

* Visual Appeal: It looks incredible in a studio rack or on a display shelf.
