Get the True Hendrix Octave Experience!

The Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Octavio octave divider gives you a stellar recreation of one of the legendary artist's tools - right down to every knob, jack, switch and circuit. Considered the "holy grail" of octave fuzz pedals, the Octavio "octave up" pedal was used by Hendrix to achieve some incredible textures. The Jimi Hendrix Octavio features front-panel level and fuzz controls.

Jimi Hendrix Octavio Octave Divider and Fuzz Pedal at a Glance:
  • The Hendrix tone
  • Authentic reproduction

The Hendrix tone
Jimi Hendrix was able to mold his guitar tones into incredible sonic textures and shapes, using only a few effects in addition to his cranked-up amp and guitar. In the process, he created an iconic sound that still makes jaws drop nearly 40 years later. When dedicated guitar effects became available in the 1960s, Hendrix was one of the very first artists to embrace them as soundshaping tools, rather than gimmicky afterthoughts tacked on to a dry guitar tone. Many of his legendary solos and sonic journeys took advantage of effects such as the Crybaby wah, UniVibe chorus/vibrato, Fuzz Face distortion, and, of course, the amazing Octavio "octave up" pedal.

Authentic reproduction
Unlike most guitarists of his day who were content to simply amplify the sound of their instruments, Hendrix actively sought out new tools to turn his guitar tones into malleable shapes that could range from chiming bells to roaring beasts to otherworldly sheets of sound. The original Octavio allowed Hendrix to conjure solo tones that brought even some of his most intense solos up another notch! It’s all here: every knob and jack, a DPDT on/off switch, and the exact same circuit layout faithfully copied from the original “breadboard,” front-panel controls which let you dial in just the right amount of fuzz and adjust overall level.

Jimi Hendrix Octavio Octave Divider and Fuzz Pedal Features:
  • Authentic reproduction
  • Level and Fuzz controls on front panel
  • DPDT on/off switch
  • Same circuit layout as Hendrix's original
  • Metal housing matches original design

The Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Octavio puts a taste of Jimi's tone right at your feet!

Excellent Pedal!

by Rob C. from Atlanta, GA
September 15, 2007
Music Background: Pro Musician
This pedal is top notch, from design to functionality. It's a bit bigger than I had originally imagined it, but not so big that it won't fit on your favorite pedal board.

As for soun... read more [+]d, it doesn't get much better. The fuzz on this pedal is absolutely stunning and adds a nice bite to anything you play. The "octave-up," which is why you would actually buy this pedal, adds an incredible shimmer with or without the fuzz. It's a great way to really beef up your tone.

The ONLY downfall of this pedal is that it doesn't have an A/C input - which I think is an element of the 'faithful reproduction of Jimi's original Octavios.' Other than that, I couldn't be happier.

I've used it at three gigs thus far, and it seems to hold up even under the occasional heavy foot. close [-]
