Get to know them!

Red Witch's first bass stompbox, the Factotum overdrive/octave pedal, delivers an all-analog overdrive and sub-octave effect in a shiny chrome package. Voiced to keep your low end huge, the Red Witch Factotum is a bass player's dream come true. Dual footswitchable effects let you add overdrive and a sub-octave effect to your bass rig. Use them separately or use them together for a massive sound. The unique Red Witch Factotum bass overdrive/octave effect pedal delivers massive tone-sculpting effects that won't kill your bass's low end!

Red Witch Factotum Bass Overdrive and Sub Octave Effects Pedal at a Glance:
  • Earth-rattling sub-octave effect
  • An overdrive optimized for bass
  • True-bypass design for pure tone
Earth-rattling sub-octave effect

The Red Witch Factotum's sub-octave effect adds an extra octave note, one octave lower, to your playing. An Octave Mix control lets you dial in the sub-octave effect from subtle to completely wet. An independent on/off switch gives you complete control of when the octave effect is added to your sound. Add massive low end to your sound with the Red Witch Factotum.

An overdrive optimized for bass

The uniquely-voiced Overdrive section of the Red Witch Factotum was designed to retain the low end of your bass signal. The Drive control takes the overdrive from subtle to massive grind. If you play punk, garage rock, or any style that needs a fat and articulate bass overdrive, then the Red Witch Factotum is for you. An independent on/off switch lets you use the overdrive section by itself or combined with the octave effect.

True-bypass design for pure tone

When not in use, the Red Witch Factotum's true bypass design takes it completely out of your signal chain. It doesn't run your signal through the entire pedal, but directly from the input to the output. This keeps your signal pure, and your precious tone unaffected. We're big fans of true-bypass pedals at Sweetwater. The Red Witch Factotum is awesome even when it is turned off!
