Awesome Octave Fuzz For Guitar

Published 25 Sep 2020

We discuss and demo the main flavours of octave fuzz guitar tones… and some other octaves too.

Life too short for long YouTube videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.

It had to happen eventually. Dan and I are both big fans of the octave fuzz sound, but it is a greatly varied thing and can be quite the challenge to add confidently to your rig.
With the help of a superb crop of modern pedals we howl and screech our way through the tones that might inspire you to give it a go. It’s aural honey for some of us, and worse than fingernails down the blackboard for many others.
It’s not only about Jimi… but boy is he a big part of this sound.

Enjoy the episode!
