Fulltone Octafuzz guitar effects pedal demo

[giorgio345]

I just got this and I love it, you just need to get to know it and how to properly manipulate it

[feldkampje]

i love your demos

[to0ty]

Hi, can you please tell me what kind of pedal board you use? Thank you

[golfmandan]

What the heck? No snakeskin boots? 

[fcbtim]

lol in every single gearmanndude video, theres always one comment on the first page regarding jack black

[BaldarTV]

This pedal should not exist (in the precense of the mighty Fulltone '69.... fuzz!)

[CHEVYKEVYSS]

Looks like he traded in the snakeskins for some loafers ;)

[skurtix]

Hey GMD.. since you've had both, which do you like best out of the Octafuzz and the dunlop hendrix octavio? Help me GMD!

[jacobtheguitarfreak]

I played an early Fulltone Octafuzz at a local music shop. The thing didn't even have a Octafuzz/Fuzz switch. First version perhaps? Plugged a Tele in one end and a dirty Orange Thunder 30 in the other and damn. Fat and raunchy down low, sinister double stops and power chords, and the octave was WAY more pronounced than in this video. Do yourself a favor and try this pedal with your own rig before forming an opinion. Still, a great demo and sexy playing as always!

[hawg427]

The Dr. Z is a Single channel amp correct?  What brand is your Pedalboard? I was thinking of getting a TrailerTrash pedalboard.

[RussianThickness1]

DA its him, he said juicy at 1:03!

[riquelme64]

hey dou you think if the angry fuzz is better or the big muff or the fuzz face? thanks

[CyanideSun1294]

You're a Fat Loser and You Have Body Odor!!!

Anywho, this is probably my favorite pedal on my board

[tubebobwil]

Is it just me or does his voice sound just like Jack Black?

[R4ND0MREVIEW5]

@tubebobwil no you and about 500,000 other people >:I

[catchatubescreamer]

that's one hairy pussy..........

[AllBluesCat]

Also, fuzz pedals tend to sound better on single coil equipped guitars.

[AllBluesCat]

"1 minute left;" words of wisdom, something really important to keep in mind while using fuzz pedals live with a band....I've fallen under that trap, thinking I got an awesome tone, then when the music starts and solo time arrives, I can't hear shit. Gearmandude is the best out there, very honest and great at guitar

[biketopia]

I have one of these, they're awesome. Check out my demo for a wider variety of sounds. :)

[mezol1zee]

dude, how many pedals do you have!

[gmlasam]

Hey Jack!! What happen to the cowboy boots?

[IceCreamRueckert]

Better than the MXR Blue Box?

[undercurrent411]

@IceCreamRueckert The octafuzz is an octave up and the mxr blue box is two octaves down. Apples and oranges, but both cool! (i have them both) Octafuzz = Jimi Hendrix type sound think: "purple haze" solo. Blue box= Jimmy Page - i think he actually used this particular pedal on "fool in the rain" solo.

PS Gearmanndude is more of a man than Chuck Norris beacuse he uses two N's in his name !!!!!!!!!

[atlanticmanor]

maybe someone can help. I just purchased this pedal planning to put it on my powered pedal board but it came with a warning not to use the boss / ibanes adaptor and use a center pin positive configuration linking lead. Has anyone had this problem?

[sonicbluestrato]

you need to turn the boost control down and pick lightly... this will give you the octave sound

[pippotones]

Hey man...where are the snake-boot???

[back2thefutre]

i got one of these today and it broke in 5 min.

[back2thefutre]

@back2thefutre update: I smacked it now it works again. lol

[The4455]

How come you "clean sound" is never clean, ever!

[PutItAway101]

@The4455 A man with snakeskin boots has no need for clean !

[Cwassicwock]

Meh, this is okay, but like he said I wouldn't really be able to use this. I prefer something like the sTone Bender. Sounds better to my ears. But that's just me.

[riskotibor80]

Hey, this video is a fake! you are not the real gearmandude! The REAL gearmandude wears snakeskin boots :)

Just kiddin' I dig your videos, BTW tomorrow I'm gonna getmyself a Kasleder purple haze 2 fuzz pedal from the man himself!

[cgrabeman]

I don't get how gearman doesn't like this pedal

[christiandx3]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettttt toneeeeee!

[FingerLickinGravy67]

hah jack blak n dale gribble yea

[SteveTones01]

Please do not wear my dads shoes in your videos anymore. I really liked those cowboy boots!

[joser4471]

Your telecaster sounds awesome!!! What pick ups do u use?

[dana66cakes]

I agree dude-- I've been watching this guy's videos for quite a while, and I think his tone here is the best I've heard so far, with and without the fuzz!

[phatsound1]

O>K> demo. Not really how to set the pedal to get classic octave tone . You should do a demo with the octafuzz with the boost all the way down then go to a sunface pedal to boost it. I have no problem cutting thur the mix with fuzz with my rig. Keep em coming

[kricejames7]

can you make a fulltone octafuzz vs big muff nyc?

thanks man..

by the way you sound like dale gribble from king of the hill

kool shit lol

[popomczowzow]

@kricejames7

I have both. Octafuzz wins.

[RomanticideMusic]

Is there any bloody reason why no website will ship this wonderful pedal outside the US? lol

[Toris93]

yeh man i know! been looking for days! lol

[THISISTREVORILY]

guitar center, check it

[ilovemywah]

as far as i know, dealers out side the USA were crying to mike fuller as folk we're buying direct from the USA as they're alot cheaper, at one point 50% cheaper!!! so he asked all US dealers to stop shipping outa the states....mark at hotrox valves here in the UK sell's Fulltone gear, thankfully alot cheaper than 2-3 years ago....

[choobr549]

Hey man--buy it send it to me and then send the money to ship vial paypal and I will send it to you

[sexpistolio]

Can you do a short shootout of Octafuzz and '70 fuzz?

[ZombiesOnParade]

Dale Gribble and Jack Black...

[Gustaleal]

I like the old shoes

XD

[vivaSchumi7]

nice playen jack

[hippibluesdude]

is the fuzz comrible to the 70'fuzz pedal

[vinirosa]

Nice playng and demo, but the cool thing in this video is the talking in the end. "The soundman, no ofense, doesn't know what he is doing..." This is true everywhere in the globe. Maybe even out of it... I just subscribed your youtube channel.

[TheBlackCrayon77]

One of the few Fullotone pedals I love, this thing creates these great sitar sounds when playing at the right place in the neck and set up correctly. Set it to Octafuzz, set the Vol to 10:30, Boost to 10:30, play the bridge pickup on a Strat/Tele...turn the volume on your guitar about half way down, pluck right near the bridge. It sounds best higher on the neck but pretty much works anywhere. Have fun!

[Schectler]

sweet!

[NirvanaRockz]

Boots, southern. Voice, Jack Black. Style, kickass.

[xXxDANMANxXx]

nice haha you sound like jack black. sweet pedal i want this

[lidesnowi]

If it is Jack Black then he can get the real deal the tycobrahe.

I think he can afford it.

But then it sounds almost the same.

Rock on Jack?

[DimyValo]

this got to be Jack Black!

[untildawnrocks]

haha definitly

[crankfar]

Hey guys, this is Jack Black's anonymous youtube account!

[popovichy121]

yeah his voice quiet simliar to jack black xD

[E3tiger]

Is this basicly an Octavia and Fuzz box in one? If it is then i need one!

[zurdokmexico]

where is the cat ? ? xD

[blahman178]

hehe this vid was made on my birthday

[Raido88]

is it me...or does this guy sound like jack black? lol

[markaidin]

Its not just you.

im almost convinced its him!

[blahman178]

STICK IT TO THE MAN!

[yaksox]

I don't know gearmandude, I admire your dedication to reviewing pedals but I'm still worried about the cat!

[bombaci08]

Yeah, that's right unless you get a Prescription or Fulltone Extreme Octave (which is the newer improved version) these 2 work almost on any part of the neck whereas that model you have and most of the original Octavias will only provide the upper octave when you play past the 10th or 12th fret on the neck pickup. Try that and you should start to hear it kick in.

[UkesNotNukes1]

The cat was the best part, but an excellent, excellent review =)

*****

[pliskinn0089]

so dirty can you a video really clean like Eric jonhson style

[cream68]

SHOW ME SOME COCK PUSHUPS!

[leofender22]

Whoa wait... The '69 is coming back!?!

[robertgroove66]

i like your playing... and the gear ;)

[oberwannabeplayer]

With such great amp and guitar who need pedals anyway! ;)

P.S. Great sound when fuzz knob was at noon

[woschiz]

Great playing, great video. The secret to an Octavia is that it only works properly on the neck pickup with the tone all the way off, and it doesn't kick in until around the 9-10 fret. My favorite setting is with the Fuzz on 3 and the boost on 9. This will cut through any mix; however it must be used judiciously.

[timmonsisbest]

yeah dude you're not even playing in the upper range so it doesn't even show the pedal's effectiveness

[PilferMusic]

Great guitar work... but the pedal didn't seem to do much for me.

[gearmanndude]

yep...me neither...but fun to demo!  GMD

[timmonsisbest]

you're not even using it right. to get that real ratty upper octave out of that pedal you have to play above the tenth fret on the neck on the neck pickup.
