Fulltone USA Octafuzz 2

The Fulltone Octafuzz is the only exact circuit replica of the mythical Tycobrahe Octavia — the fuzz that shaped the sonic signature of Hendrix’s Band of Gypsys era and SRV’s most electrifying live performances. Faithful down to the last component, this pedal revives the original’s edgy, otherworldly textures and infuses them with the kind of high-end craftsmanship Fulltone is known for.

With its distinctive octave-up fuzz, the Octafuzz delivers piercing overtones, ring-modulated harmonics, and a percussive “steel drum” character that’s almost synth-like in its expressiveness. This is not your average fuzz — it's chaotic and musical in the best way, capable of producing sounds that feel plucked from another dimension. Guitar Player Magazine put it best: “Edgy, tweaked, and haunted by strange overtones, its distortion occupies a galaxy far, far away from modern crunchola fuzz.”

Housed in a durable 14-gauge steel enclosure and finished in a stunning ranarr-blue gloss with antique-white detailing, the Octafuzz is a tribute to its vintage roots and built to endure any gig or session. A pivotal update around the year 2000 added a switchable mod developed by Fulltone that transforms the pedal into a ferocious, non-octave fuzz monster. This innovative tweak became so popular that it was adopted by nearly every other Tycobrahe-style reissue on the market.

Whether you want the classic octave fuzz scream or a modernized wall of fuzz, the Octafuzz delivers both — in full, unapologetic glory.
