Make Your Amplifier Scream

You can't argue that octave and fuzz effects don't go hand in hand, and you get both in the electro-harmonix Octavix fuzz/octave pedal. Whether your guitar has single-coil or humbucking pickups, you can coax a wide range of vintage fuzz effects from the Octavix. Guitarists at Sweetwater especially dig the switchable 9V/24V operation - at 9V the Octavix sounds like a vintage fuzz unit, while 24V operation serves up a tighter sound with a fatter octave effect. Once you plug in and turn up, it's hard not to sound like a rock icon with the ehx Octavix pedal.

Decent pedal

I am in a band that covers everything from the 60's to today, country, rock, easy listening. So I have included a photo of my pedal board to show I have a few different overdrive type pedals. This electro is included on my board. It easily covers what "fuzz/octave" tones I need covered in our multi faceted set list. Its great pedal and I did allot of research and this pedal was either number 2 or the number 1 ranked pedal with many other stores like Sweetwater (especially a British Store located in Guilford England). Back to my review, its a great pedal tone wise. My only negative comment is the actual button you push to turn on/off. Its old school mechanical button, loud, and takes more pressure than any of my other pedals. With that said if you are covering Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, or any groups from the 60's into the 70's this pedal will do it. My score is based on the tone of the pedal and how much I really hate the on/off button…

Exactly the effect expected

Sounds great. I already had fuzz pedals and octave pedals, but wanted that ringing effect on high notes that Jimi could get. This pedal pleased me because it got delivers that effect. It is easy to control and has the 9v/24v switch for cleaner version of the effect if desired. The advice about using single-coil pups and back off the guitar's volume control was spot on. Perfect pedal!

Nice pedal

I have really enjoyed this octavix pedal. It's got the sound I was looking for. My favorite setting is with the boost and octave all the way up on 24 volts and setting the volume to taste. But there are numerous options as well. The fact that it comes with the power adapter is a big plus. Works great for me and I think you would like it too!...p.s...being digital, it is very quiet. In use or not.

If You Want Late '60s Sound, Look No Further

While the Octavix has an very wide range of sound possibilities, I found "my sound" using the 9-volt selection and fairly conservative control adjustments. I can produce the fat, buzzy sound of the late '60s without all the attendant noise (If you used the technology of the era you understand . . . everything hummed!)

This pedal very accurately produces the sounds of mic'd blown speaker we often used to get a thoroughly "fuzzed out" sound. The Octavix is first in line on my sound board to setting the baseline tone for all other pedals to work with.

This is so much more than an octaver and well worth your consideration in quest of iconic sounds.


Full Disclosure: I am an old man who came of age in the late '60s. I am also an electronics technician.

And suddenly, my board was complete.

I'd been on the fence for quite some time about what fuzz pedal I wanted to get. After chasing that Band of Gypsy's live tone for years and finally pulling the trigger on an excellent univibe, this was my last purchase to get there (as close as I can get, anyway). I like that you can dial the octave down and you have a nice day fuzz for rhythm. With the octave engaged, it takes t to another plane. Squalling, splatty octave fuzz tastiness. I'll still get a fuzz face eventually, but this will keep me happy for some time.
