Product Description

The OCTAVIA is probably our most famous and distinctive creation. This effect was designed in early 1967 and featured on 'Purple Haze' and 'Fire' by Jimi Hendrix. It's unique tones can also be heard on such tracks as 'One Rainy', 'Little Miss Lover', 'Little Wing', 'Machine Gun' etc. The OCTAVIA produces a sound that is an octave higher than the note you are presently playing. This doubling effect is accomplished through electronic mirror imaging techniques that are program sensitive and also respond to the feed forward inputs of the player. The electronic circuitry is analogue in design and will react faithfully to all the subtleties and harmonic overtones from the guitar. The effect produced is very unique but human in quality. The units that are manufactured today are representative of the latest evolution of Octavia that Jimi used and contains the feed forward and gating effect that my earlier evolutions lacked.
