This is yet another pedal that I hadn't heard of until it was mentioned in the forum. The build was smooth, no hiccups. I'm digging it so far. One can coax a fairly broad range of sounds out of it from green ringerish to fuzzy octave goodness, though it doesn't get quite as filthy as my fuzzy fox. The octave is quite strong throughout as long as you keep the blend past noon (duh).

I was expecting the blend to be a clean signal but mine is pleasantly dirty. This is fine by me as I don't always love clean blended dirt boxes. I'm half tempted to put the dip switches on the outside though it may be overkill. I do like all the available settings. I'm also not surprised that it stacks quite well. Not sure about bass use yet. It certainly sounds good with my p bass and bass vi. In a lot of ways it's everything I wanted my first green ringer to be but I will reserve judgment until use it live. Octave fuzz can be a tough one for us low enders. Without a clean blend I'm assuming there's enough low end loss to be an issue for me.

Totally rules with the telecaster. The octave is nice and present no matter what but the Charlie Christian neck pickup with the tone rolled off is just fantastic.

See post #8 below for audio demo.

Nice. I have seen this around and it looks interesting. Got a demo? Would love to hear what it sounds like before I decide to get one.
Firstly, this is my 90's blues deluxe with my telecaster and p bass both with labella flats. I threw 3 little ditties down on my looper so I could knob tweak.

Loop1 Tele bridge pickup. Starts bypassed and then I turn on the octaking set as clean and neutral as possible, switch set to glass. Slowly increasing drive and octave.

Loop2 Tele Charlie Christian neck pu. I rolled the instrument tone knob down to zero half way through. Switch on vintage. I had the back open and flicked the gain switch to high for the second round through the loop. I then messed with the voice knob at the end.

Loop3 '74 p bass starts as fat and nasty as possible. I slowly brought the gain and blend down.

Sounds awesome even on bass. Thanks for the recording.

You have convinced me. I’m making one!
