Description

The Proctavia by Voodoo Lab is an exact replica of Tycobrahe Sound Company's Octavia, a fuzz pedal that creates an octave-doubling effect, famously used by Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck. It is designed to produce the same octave-doubling effect as the original '70s model, which was favored by vintage collectors and famously used by Stevie Ray Vaughan. The pedal incorporates the same transistors, germanium diodes, and unique transformer-coupled output stage as the original circuit.

The Proctavia features true bypass switching with LED indicator, a rugged die- cast steel chassis, and a two-knob design for volume and boost control. It operates on a standard 9VDC center-negative power supply or a 9V battery. The pedal is highly sensitive to the guitar's output level and harmonic content, requiring adjustments to the guitar volume, playing style, and picking technique for optimal performance.

The pedal is known for its dissonant distortion when initially plugged in, requiring users to learn to play it like a new instrument. It offers two primary use-cases: basic Octavia and super-long sustain, each achieved through specific settings and playing techniques.

The Proctavia is powered by a single 9V battery, which can be replaced by removing the bottom cover. Alternatively, it can be powered externally with a regulated 9VDC power supply using a standard 5.5x2.1mm barrel connector with center negative. The pedal is backed by a five-year warranty against defects in material or workmanship.

Overall, the Proctavia by Voodoo Lab is designed to deliver classic fuzz/octave tones and is suitable for guitarists seeking to replicate the iconic octave-doubling effect in their performances.
