Octavio

The MXR Octavio recreates the legendary Octavia circuit that Hendrix and others used for otherworldly tones. Fuzz combines with octave-up for singing, bell-like leads that cut through any mix.

Fuzz and Volume controls provide simple operation. The octave-up tracks best on single notes, particularly on higher frets where the effect is most pronounced. Chords and lower notes produce glitchy, experimental textures.

The Octavia's unique sound appears on countless Hendrix recordings. The interaction between fuzz saturation and octave harmonics creates tones unlike any other effect category. Roger Mayer's original design influenced this recreation.

True bypass switching. Standard 9V power. For players exploring the classic Octavia territory, from clean octave-fuzz to aggressive experimental sounds, this delivers the iconic circuit.
