Distortion Models
7•6
Sub Octave Fuzz
Inspired by the PAiA Roctave Divider, which combined a double octave shift with a fuzz
effect, resulting in deep fat square wave distortion.
Octave Fuzz
Based on the Tycobrahe Octavia, another example of a fuzz plus octave effect. The Octavia
used an audio output transformer and two germanium diodes to rectify the guitar signal,
creating the high octave type sound. Jimi Hendrix used one on “Purple Haze”.
Boost Comp
Based on the MXR® Micro Amp. This effect was used to “push” the front-end of non-
master volume tube amps in order to achieve a cranked sound at less than stadium levels.
