http://www.ProGuitarShop.com-The Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Octavio is an exact clone of Jimi's cheese wedge pedal that is enshrined at the Experience Music Project in Seattle. The Dunlop engineers took great pains to bring the tone of this infamous pedal straight to you. Straight up Live at Fillmore tone and screaming fuzz is at your toetips with the Octavio. Complete with a switching Level knob to turn the unit off, the Jimi Hendrix Octavio recreates the exact breadboard circuit as the original.

The Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Octavio is fuzzy and warm. The Octavio is not a high output pedal. This baby was built to vintage spec and it sounds vintage. Put your strat in the magic neck position and solo around the 12th fret and you'll see what I mean. Purple Haze has never sounded so exact. The octave effect is subtle just like the original but in front of a cranked Marshall, nothing is subtle. This pedal is best used in front of an already cranked amp, but can be used as a primary fuzz pedal by increasing the Fuzz knob. If you've been looking for that secret tone, the Jimi Hendrix Octavio is it.

  • Hi there people can anyone tell me if this petal comes with the fuzz and octave at the same time or you can use them seperate.

    thanks

  • @GiannisSta8hs The fuzz and octave are all part of the tone. You will not find clean octave up unless it's digital, like the POG

  • @Trakstar84 I believe Hendrix used both together on solos like Purple haze

  • Here from ponies, yeah you heard me right.

  • I have one of these and it sounds like complete crap... THAT IS WHY I LOVE IT... Dude is right, the only way to make it sound good is above the 12'th fret on the neck pickup... and if you use it with a Tube Screamer or a Blues Driver, it sounds like heaven (It's a "feel" thing... just one of those crazy sounds that inspires you). This pedal is a "one trick pony". Search for "John Mayer Black Cat" and you'll hear what this pedal sounds like...

  • @BaneOfXistence4 nah you need to get a Hammond B3 to do that ;)

  • @Trakstar84 yeah you can use the fuzz face along with this pedal to get a more pronounced octave

  • @alittleforgettable how did you type that. that's cool!

  • @1:40 perfect tone for playing Blue Collar Man by Styx.

  • Is there any point in having a fuzz face if you have this octavio?

  • @SuperNesmaster octavio is a nastier fuzz with an octave up effect

  • @ALBERTromano1965 I checked out your channel.....nice playing but you owning Jimi's original pedal ???

    Why would he not be one of your favourite musicians......Give it to someone who actually loves Jimi.. !!!

    Please explain how you acquired it...love to hear the story !!
