The 8va by Hartman is a faithful recreation of the Tycobrahe Octavia, a seminal effects pedal from the 1970s. It replicates the exact signal chain of the original Tycobrahe, delivering classic tones such as raucous, searing fuzz, blooming, crystalline upper octaves, and space-age ring-modulation effects. The pedal features heavy-duty true-bypass switching, ON/OFF LED indicator, and an external 9VDC power in jack. It consumes less than 30mA at 9VDC (positive ground) and has dimensions of 4" (101mm) in width, 2.1" (54mm) in height, and 4.9" (125mm) in length. The pedal is meticulously grounded and shielded in a rugged metal enclosure to ensure quiet, RF interference-free operation. It also includes a specially designed input level trim to accentuate the octave character of the sound. The pedal is made in the USA, ships with a new 9V Carbon Zinc battery, and carries a 1-year limited warranty.
