Octave Pedals

An octave pedal takes the note from your electric guitar and layers on signals from other octaves.
This creates a full, dynamic sound. Some players enjoy combining an octave pedal with a fuzz pedal.

Some pedals combine octave and fuzz, such as the MXR Blue Box (electric guitar) or the MXR Sub Octave Fuzz (bass guitar).

We carry octave pedals from brands such as MXR, Digitech, and EBS.

What does an octave pedal do?

An octave pedal is a stomp box effect that will take your original electric guitar sound and add on signals from different octaves (higher or lower). This gives you an entirely new mix.

Who uses an octave pedal?

Jimi Hendrix was one of the first popular musicians to use an octave pedal - he used an octave-fuzz pedal called the Octavia. A similar pedal is the MXR M-267 Octavio Fuzz pedal.

Where does an octave pedal go in my chain?

Typically an octave pedal will go at the beginning of your chain, before the drive section. This will allow for a clean signal.
