This pedal is in perfect working condition. There is a hole drilled in the side to allow it to be powered with a Voodoo Lab or One Spot battery adapter. Please see the photos to see the wear in the paint job.
This is a noisy pedal by nature. Different cables, power, guitars, and your location can cause extra noise, therefore I will not accept any returns due to noise related issues.
From ZVEX
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.
IN:
Far right knob controls input (drive) level. Use just enough for fun but not
too much if you need less noise during quiet spots.
OUT:
Output level is on the left Watch out when you turn it up.
TONE:
Turn to right for mid scoop tone ( mellow)...to left for more mids
(aggressive).
HINTS:
Use simple chords...three notes if
possible... or limit voicing to octaves and fifths. This way you let the pedal
generate thirds and control the color of the chords. For solos, play at the
twelfth fret (double dot) or higher, using the rhythm pickup. This gives you
the purest upper octave result with any brand of high octaver.
IMPROVEMENTS:
The newest Octane has 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 why I
discontinued the pedal in the first place. In some cities, the older octanes
picked up radio louder than the guitar!
WARNING:
As with any fuzz, the nuances of the pedal's tone are lost with a distorted
amp. Play fuzz boxes on a cleaner setting to hear the tone... this pedal is so
distorted that you won't need any more distortion anyway.
