Thank you so much for the kind words man! I sincerely appreciate it. I'm currently looking out for some new pedals to review, so if you have something in mind you'll like to see, let me know and if I can find it I'll be more than happy to do a video for it ! Cheers.
Dude thank you so very much for such kind words. This is by far the most honoring and flattering comment I've ever received. I sincerely appreciate it. You've made my day for real. I'm extremely glad this was useful to you. Thank you so much for stopping by the channel and for the support!!
Those videos that say this pedal is crap convinced me too as octave fuzz is a new territory for me. I relooked at it because I was thinking about buying an EHX Octatrix. Ok Voodoo refers to that guy back in the 60's.
So glad you enjoyed the video and even more that it helped you!! If you would like to here some more of my writing be sure to check out the original tracks I've uploaded to the channel. Thanks for stopping by and all the support!!!
Dude that was fucking badass, loved it. I'm messing around trying to get my hollow body with various dogeared P90's aiming for overdrive and beyond to distortion land - I know it can be done ala Killing Joke (a deep hollow golden gibson). I'm a classical and synth guy who got into tone shaping guitar and bass it's been a fun ride to get back into things. These joyo pedals offer a lot of interesting ideas. Which drum machine did you use? I have the old reliable Alesis SR-16 - which run through pedals can sound kickass. It's a pain to do each role yourself. I have a 5 string bass I'm customizing for supporting my riff-age aka the harmonic structure with pedal tones (sub contra basso, stings .170 .135 .105 .85). Anyway I'm rambling which means this was a good video that creatively sparked me. Thanks for that! Future pedal suggestions: Basically looking cheaper versions of the Boss Octave Pedal and Ehx Hog, trying to get metallic percolator tones. I need to play with the harmonics/overtones more directly wondering if the cheap pedal world has an answer. Pretty sure if I can do it on a synth then it must be something I can find. Greetings from New York.
Dude thank you so very much. I'm freaking tripping over the fact that you enjoyed the video and that it somehow inspired you man. You have no idea how awesome it is that you stopped by the comments so we can chat. I would love to hear what you come up with for that semi hollow of yours. I own one myself and they're such amazing instruments, such a different vibe. On my videos primarily I use the Mt Power Drum Kit 2 through REAPER which is the DAW I work with. Speaking of bass, when I record the audio tracks for my pedal demo videos I've chosen not to record bass so it doesn't color the overall sound and stomps over the pedal tone. What do you think about this approach? Keep it that way or do record bass? These past months due to several issues I haven't been able to post content but starting on May I'm back in full force and will post more vids on pedals I've purchased and will def consider your suggestions for a future purchase too. I'll also be releasing tracks I've recorded for my own solo project. Thanks for the sub BTW, it's nice to have you around bro.
It does!! And in my opinion it won't muddle everything up as long as that gain knob it's dialed right to keep it under control. Thanks for stopping by!!
DDUUUUUUDE!!!! I'm a big fan of this filthy offensive little pedal. You actually, and I'm not fucking around ---- you actually made it sound so properly good that I instantly subscribed. Like myself, you are a small and honest little channel... worthy of support, Blessings and best wishes from the UK. I'll give you a shout-out and link your channel when I do my own Voodoo Octave episode. Stay heavy mate.
My dude thank you so very much. Your comment sincerely made my whole day. I am so glad you enjoyed the video and that I was able to do some justice. Checked your channel and loved your acoustic performances my man, awesome raw tracks. Keep it up as well and stay real my man!! Best of wishes for you too!!
Great review! I've been looking at this pedal a while and decided to go ahead and buy it after watching your video. I also have the Boss Katana MKII 50W; do you recall what the EQ settings were for this demo?
Thank you so much for the compliment brother!! By the way, awesome TH-cam name! I appreciate you stopping by the channel and checking out my video. I will actually go through my recording files as I am pretty sure I kept a copy of it and as soon as I find it I will reach to you again with the settings! Just give me a day or two but I will definitely do it brother. 🤟🏻
@@blue_bonzai Thank you brother for the compliment on the YT name. :) Maliciouz was my nickname back in my Punk days; the irony is that I'm actually the opposite of that, soft spoken and pretty mellow. I decided to resurrect it as an artist name when I started doing Sludge/Stoner/Doom. Hey, thanks for taking the time to check on what the amp settings were, I really appreciate you doing that. 🤘🤘🤘
@@blue_bonzai Yeah, pretty much a solo project right now, mainly because (I don't have a band and) I started getting a bunch of song ideas and wanted to record and release them; I'm currently working on my second EP. I'd like to put a band together so I can get out and perform the tunes live; mostly a casual thing but if it turned into something more that would be okay.
Feeling you a 100% thats why I started my solo project as well. I stop posting tracks a year ago cause I have been dedicated to recording a full ep which I'm almost done with and will be releasing around October!! Heading over to your channel to listen to your stuff now!
Like others have said, you are the only youtube channel who used this pedal appropriately. Well done! Have you modified yours in any way? (Switched capacitors, etc.)?
Thank you so very much for the kind words I sincerely appreciate it. Means the world. Trying to get back in the game, been off for a while so will be testing some new pedals soon. No! I did not modify it at all just kept it as is specially because it is pretty versatile, the only fuzz pedal I have modify is a fuzzface, and it's due to the fact of how limited its is original stock range.
Will do a video on it! I currently own a Joyo Avalon and if does a phenomenal job at functioning for guitar and bass. It's not the cheapest one but neither the most expensive and it's definitely worth the extra.
Kind of reminding me of smashing pumpkins some reason lol. I have a big original octafuzz but been wanting something different. I like that you can use just Octavia on this one.
That's an interesting point Arnaldo. I would say I definitely see your point, but! It does sound more fuzzy in the right context it's just that me being primarily a hard rock/metal player I couldn't help myself but gravitate towards that!
Hola un saludo pregunta cómo es que en este demo su pedal no hacé ese ruido tan tenas qué tiene el Voodoo Octave por qué el mío hace mucho ruido gracias perdón por no escribir en inglés.
Hmmmm pueden ser varios factores. Empecemos a descartar. Estas usando single coils o humbuckers en tus pickups? Otra pregunta estás en el canal limpio o de distorsión de tu amplificador?
he has got the right idea, the fuzz sounds like hot garbage if you take it above 9 o clock, best tones ive heard., i like the germanium fuzz sound so i tend to use this pedal on early david gilmour and hendrrix songs. it gets some nice tones for cream as well.
The pedal originally had two capacitor swapped, in which I'm glad because it has a tighter bottom end (read: less fuzzy) than the modded ones that swap the two caps to their intended positions. I use this pedal exclusively in my slide guitar rig.
It is true I have noticed that the bottom end is tighter. Haven't tried it on slide guitar, will definitely give it a go, thanks for the recommendation!!

True
I have to pull this pedal back out! I haven’t used it in probably at least 7 years! Great demo man!
I'm so glad it pumped you up enough to give it another try!! Thanks so much for the compliment and for stopping by Aaron!! 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
I love your video! I believe that this may be the best demo that I’ve seen about this pedal. Definetly I’ll buy!

Someone already mentioned this but this was the best demo I could find for this pedal.
Thank you so very much for the tremendous compliment. I'm sincerely humbled by it.

Thank YOU for the support !!! 😊
Woooow!! is awesome!!
Thank you so much for checking out the video and for the kind support!!
I wonder if Joyo produces a fuzz with the same circuit minus the octave?
That's a great question to which answer I'm not sure of. HOWEVER that octave button is magic, trust me.
Great playn man! Used on a clean Channel?
Thank you so so very much!! Yes clean channel of the boss katana 50w mkii
@@blue_bonzai thank you!
Thank you for stopping by!
@@blue_bonzai what about a cheap compressor pedal? Thanks
Will do a video on it! I currently own a Joyo Avalon and if does a phenomenal job at functioning for guitar and bass. It's not the cheapest one but neither the most expensive and it's definitely worth the extra.
Maybe compare it to the fuxx fuzz ? Or review fuxx
Excellent idea Kyle! Will definitely work on that comparison video. Thanks for checking out the channel!

Kind of reminding me of smashing pumpkins some reason lol. I have a big original octafuzz but been wanting something different. I like that you can use just Octavia on this one.
Huge Smashing pumpkins fan here lol! I agree, I freaking love that feature. Thanks for stopping by the channel brother! 🤘🏻
It sounds more like a fuzz distortion than a fuzz actually
That's an interesting point Arnaldo. I would say I definitely see your point, but! It does sound more fuzzy in the right context it's just that me being primarily a hard rock/metal player I couldn't help myself but gravitate towards that!
Good! That's what I needed to know! Looking for a new fuzz for playing Doom metal. 🤘🏼💀
Definitely an excellent fit for doom metal my man!

What tuning is the guitar??
Drop D !!!
No one showed the octane
Thank you my good sir!
Fuzzorocius!!!!
Let's bring the fuzz back to metal!!
he has got the right idea, the fuzz sounds like hot garbage if you take it above 9 o clock, best tones ive heard., i like the germanium fuzz sound so i tend to use this pedal on early david gilmour and hendrrix songs. it gets some nice tones for cream as well.
Thank you so much for the feedback! And for stopping by James! Much appreciated
Next pedal EHX Lumberjack.... but one on the board AND one in the loop. Gravy Booby.
Thank you so much for the bomb suggestion. Will definitely give it a spin. Will be so damn fun. 🤟🏻

It is true I have noticed that the bottom end is tighter. Haven't tried it on slide guitar, will definitely give it a go, thanks for the recommendation!!
There is a mod that makes this pedal sound a lot better.
Is it similar to the big muff pi mod? I think I've heard about it. What's the mod???!?
