From Our Research Team:A Versatile Octave/Fuzz Stompbox from Fulltone!The Fulltone Ultimate Octave pedal gives you fat distortion and fuzz tones, with an extra footswitch for piling on a screaming octave-up when you need it. The Ultimate Octave pedal features an active tone control and a "Fat/Bright" switch that lets you go from girthy mids to a scooped tone with bass-y and bright lows and highs. If you like that psychedelic solo tone that vintage octave fuzz pedals provide, you'll love the versatile, monsterous sounds you'll wring out of your rig with the Ultimate Octave pedal!Fulltone Ultimate Octave Pedal at a Glance:
Long-lasting pots Fulltone's custom-made brass-shaft pots are among the strongest and smoothest feeling pots available. These amazing pots are mounted to the interior PCB board via a proprietary "thru-PCB" method rather than having the pot be secured by the pot terminals, drastically reducing pot-related failure. This method keeps Fulltone pedals up and running for the duration of your playing days. Plus, this eliminates the need for a bunch of jumper wires, keeping your tone as pure as humanly possible. Who uses Fulltone? The list of Fulltone fans reads like a who's who of guitar heroes. Both Ron Wood and Keith Richards have Fulltone gear in their touring rigs, as does Nigel Tufnel from the legendary British metal band Spinal Tap, and Boston bad-boys Joe Perry and Tom Hamilton. Punk/rockabilly mainstay Reverend Horton Heat is a Fulltone convert. Other notable Fulltone users include Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard, Jack Bruce of Cream, perennial alt rocker Lou Reed, and Tom Petty along with Heartbreaker Mike Campbell. Fulltone Ultimate Octave Features:
Why buy Fulltone? Fulltone was founded in 1991 by session guitarist, composer, performer, and electronic tinkerer Michael Fuller. His pedals were born out of love for music and tone, as well as the frustration at the inconsistencies and the often fragile nature of vintage pedals. Fulltone pedals are 100% handmade in Southern California using the finest components, including custom-made 22-gauge copper wire with no tin coating, Fulltone-designed 3PDT switches, and custom-made brass shaft pots, mounted using Fulltone's proprietary "thru-PCB" method. The end result: Fulltone pedals are built to last and sound amazing.

I feel sorry for anyone who hasn't tried this pedal. As for me, it is now a must now that I have heard it.

Whether you're looking to wail on Hendrix solos or just experiment with new sounds, this is the very under-rated candidate to accomplish those needs. close [-]

Fulltone Ultimate Octave was my first fuzz pedal purchase. Greg helped a LOT AS ALWAYS! He allowed me to demo an MXR classic fuzz, a Hendrix fuzz (the funny wedge shaped one), and the Fulltone Octaf... read more [+]uzz (reportedly the exact same circuit as a Tycho Brahe Octavia). These were all great, but none of them were excellent. I was set on leaving with a fuzz, so I browsed on the sweetwater website one more time and found the Ultimate Octave. With or without the octave effect, this pedal is completely usable, the tone knob is great, great as in, there isn't really a "dead zone" in the sweep. It is a pretty loud pedal (the volume on mine never goes further than 10 o'clock). The fuzz knob for my personal taste gets a little too hairy past 2-3 o'clock. The only thing not excellent about this pedal is the "fat/bright" switch. I leave it on fat all the time because the bright is just way too bright without any mids, but its ok, because if I need that sort of flexability, I know I have it at the flick of a switch. Excellent pedal with a very dedicated fan base, as I discovered after I bought it. close [-]
