«  A very distinctive sound, big fuzz + octave above. »

Published on 02/12/10 at 03:11
Well no notice has been made on this machine, I'll try to describe it.

Big pedal fuzz + octave, 3 settings: Volume, Boost and switch between fuzz or fuzz + octave.

True bypass

Reverse polarity relative to a Boss or Marshall Classic (+ center). Therefore need to purchase a special transformer for the pedal, or a lil jack which reverses the polarity (4 €)
It is annoying, I see no point to it except to buy another + is like Proco and its special forms.

OCCAZ purchased from Denmark for DKK 1000 (125 €) in stock.

UTILIZATION

Setup is very simple. No manual on mine.

For use in my opinion preferably on a crunch sound (not clean anyway).

I played on a Bronx tube 12 (Fender HotRod equivalent) and a Laney LC 30 (the British), on two, large crunch.

I use only mode fuzz + octave.

SOUND QUALITY

The effect is powerful, a big fuzz invading from the fourth race of the volume pot (normal at the same time I go to a crunch). Its a pretty dirty and vintage with the octave like Jack White.

The sound, I do not know too describe me but it suits me, it's a big dirty fuzz and an octave above the note played, it gives a sense of fury in the treble, almost as if using a Wahmmy.

It has a nice ring modulator type playing serious on the mic the guitar a bit and lowering the volume.

Gaming agreement impossible (at least not with the octave).

Not at all versatile, everything I like what!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few months, I fell in love by chance by trying it.
I had never tried before octave, fuzz by some cons (FZ3 Boss, Zvex, You Dirty Rat ...) But it really does not even use.

A tad expensive if it is actually sold at 180 € as announced AF, but about 130 € c cool. This is not an effect that can be used all the time.
Only annoying thing, this polarity reversed.

I remake this unless I fall on another thing in the same style that makes it obsolete, but to my knowledge this is the only one that this.
