Bigfoot Octo Puss Prime

£149.99
A high performance fuzz-octave pedal with superb accuracy.
 
What is it?
A fuzz-octave guitar effects pedal that combines vintage and modern parts for an unrivaled tone.
 
How does it sound?
Inspired by Jimi Hendrix, Jack White and Josh Homme, our octave up generator utilises germanium diodes for authentic vintage tones. We then combine them with a premium studio quality audio transformer to provide far better frequency response and tracking than any other analogue octave pedal on the market. The fuzz circuit is a specially voiced version of the Bigfoot King Fuzz for fat lows, powerful mids, and detailed highs.
 
Unique features
The Octo Puss Prime can track chords far more accurately than other analogue octave-up effects pedals. In addition, the octave circuit is uniquely placed before the fuzz circuit, allowing us to design a fuzz which retains a strong bass response and ensures the treble response doesn't ever become harsh.
 
Applications
This is the perfect tool for premium quality fuzz-octave that's always perfectly balanced.

Bigfoot Octo Puss Prime XL

£199.99
The same as the Octo Puss Prime, but with dual footswitches.
 
What is it?
A high performance octave-up guitar effects pedal with the addition of a footswitchable fuzz circuit.
 
How does it sound?
Inspired by Jimi Hendrix, Jack White and Josh Homme, our octave up generator utilises germanium diodes for authentic vintage tones. We then combine them with a premium studio quality audio transformer to provide far better frequency response and tracking than any other analogue octave pedal on the market. The footswitchable fuzz circuit is a specially voiced version of the Bigfoot King Fuzz.
 
Unique features
The Octo Puss XL GE can track chords far more accurately than other analogue octave-up effects pedals. In addition, the octave and fuzz circuits can be used independently or simultaneously.
