Description

The Octavia Classic by Roger Mayer is a renowned guitar effects pedal designed in early 1967 and famously featured on tracks such as "Purple Haze" and "Fire" by Jimi Hendrix. It produces a unique sound that is an octave higher than the note being played, achieved through electronic mirror imaging techniques that are program-sensitive and responsive to the player's feed-forward inputs.

Key Technical Features:
- Electronically, the Octavia Classic is an analog circuit with the properties of a frequency doubler, envelope generator, and amplitude modulator, along with additional frequency shaping filter circuits.
- It features controls for Drive, Tone, and Output, offering flexibility in setting the gain, signal harmonics, and final output level.
- The pedal is housed in a new Classic Series enclosure, with a reduced footprint area and conventional jack socket positions for efficient integration into pedal boards.
- It offers dual direct drive buffered outputs or hard wire output, with provision for an internal 9-Volt battery (150 hours battery life) or external power from a 9-Volt DC Power Adapter (not included).
- The Octavia Classic provides true hard wire output plus two buffered outputs, catering to various performance situations and offering flexibility in signal routing.
- It is designed with extensive internal filtering to ensure noise-free operation, even with basic adapters, and features true bypass and buffered bypass options.

Additional Information:
- The Octavia Classic is known for its association with iconic Hendrix tones, and it is used by renowned artists such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, John Mayer, and others.
- The pedal's ergonomic design, reduced footprint, and dual output options make it suitable for modern musicians and pedal board setups.
