The Octane 3 (for 3rd version) is a fuzz ring modulator combines.
For the fuzz, NOS Germanium transistors 2 paired.
For the rest, the Zvex classic.
- Manufactures and hand painted in the United States Zvex
- IN = Gain, Tone = rglage of mdiums, volume = OUT
- True bypass switch and LED mcanique
- 9V battery powered
Book in her hair with red cloth and cardboard ds fantasies ... Zvex signature.
As usual, quality manufacturing and finishing irrprochable.
UTILIZATION
Setup is simple. The rglages are simple. Three potentiomtres sensitive prcis and effective.
Now, like all Zvex effects, use in all circumstances is quite difficult.
SOUND QUALITY
Your exact sound is impressive. Better to have the finger on the gain lightweight, because the fuzz can quickly become dirty trs. The Tone of CONTRL can sculpt the sound effectively. At Zvex, 3 potentiomtres enough to get a rev range of sounds strained.
By careful against the ring modulator. We must avoid agreements too rich, simple prfrer agreements or arrangements trs simple as the fifth (power chords) or single notes. The solos must be preferences in the 12th del box for a rsultat more impressive. In addition, acute attention to that can quickly become dsagrables. As to the result with the ring modulator sound, imprvisible by nature, it is vritablement to express.
CAUTION: It is not an octa-fuzz. You can get a octaver exact specifications, but the exception. The ring modulator is a very special effect and exprimental!
Following a question on the forum about the ring modulator, I have slightly modified this view. If you want information on supplmentaires ring modulator, go to the forum:

In short, a Zvex pedals typical strong characters and not easily tamed.
OVERALL OPINION
A Zvex pedals in the line: building irrprochable high-end vintage-inspired with Germanium transistors NOS, a thundering sound rsultat never heard elsewhere, and versatility ... inexistent.
CAUTION: The ring modulator is an effect imprvisible aimed at sophisticated and adventurous guitarists. Check out the forum for understanding!
In short we love it or dtest, as with all Zvex pedals.
