The Rocket Series Octavia by Roger Mayer is a renowned effect pedal designed in early 1967 and famously used by Jimi Hendrix. It is an analogue circuit with the properties of a frequency doubler, envelope generator, and amplitude modulator with additional frequency shaping filter circuits. The effect produced is subtle to wild depending on the settings used and responds to the attack of the player.
The Vision Octavia, part of the Rocket Series, comes in a new enclosure design with added features for modern musicians. It features controls for DRIVE, TONE, and OUTPUT, offering flexibility in setting the tone color required. The pedal also includes multi-mode outputs with hard wire bypass or two buffered outputs, providing options for different performance or equipment situations.
The Octavia operates on a 9-volt DC power supply, with a recommended regulated output and a current rating of 50mA or more. It has an exceptionally low current consumption, ensuring a long battery life of more than 150 hours with alkaline batteries. The pedal is designed to be pedal board-friendly, with all jack sockets and the DC power jack on the same side of the enclosure, facing away from the user.
The dimensions of the Vision Octavia are 170 x 112 x 57mm, and it weighs 618g with a battery. The pedal also features a rapid battery change design, LED status indicator, and external power adapter/supply compatibility. The ergonomic design and pedal board-friendly layout make it a versatile and practical addition to any musician's setup.
