Screech Octave Fuzz

The Screech Octave Fuzz by Joe Gore is a unique pedal descended from vintage octave fuzzes like the Ampeg Scrambler and Dan Armstrong Green Ringer, but it's not a clone. It provides clearer octave overtones and does not require an extra booster for great results. The pedal is designed to provide potent octaves regardless of neck position or pickup setting and also delivers fine non-octave fuzz.

The pedal is not especially dynamic and requires consistently heavy gain for its powerful octave effects. It produces freaky harmonics and other interesting noises when the guitar's volume control is lowered. The Screech Octave Fuzz runs on standard 9-volt batteries or power supplies and comes with a lifetime warranty.

The single knob on the pedal serves as a master volume, as there is no gain control due to the circuit's demand for high gain to generate strong octaves. The pedal features a DIST footswitch, and when engaged without the octave (OCT) activated, the LED glows red. With the octave on, the light is yellow, and the octave section cannot be used without DIST activated. When the pedal is bypassed, the user can specify whether the octave will be engaged when the pedal is activated.

The Screech Octave Fuzz is designed for guitarists seeking a unique and powerful octave fuzz effect without the need for additional boosters. It offers a distinctive sound and functionality that sets it apart from traditional octave fuzz pedals.
