Two of the legendary and timeless icons of rock music-Slash and MXR Innovations-have teamed up to deliver the Slash Octave Fuzz. It features a searing Fuzz tone coupled with a separate Sub Octave voice and an Octave Up Fuzz, all for thickening up your tone with a sinister growl. With an array of external and internal controls, there are numerous ways to combine the main Fuzz effect's thick '70s shag with the chainsaw grind of the Octave Up Fuzz and the warm growl of the Sub Octave. Internal Gain and Tone pots shape the Octave Up Fuzz effect. Featuring custom Slash artwork and a distressed hot-rod paintjob, the Slash Octave Fuzz features all analog circuitry, true hardwire bypass and comes in a heavy duty housing with durable jacks and switches. Actually overdubbed octaves. Even so, the latest Slash signature pedal from Dunlop is the Slash Octave Fuzz, and the top-hatted guitar hero uses it on two tracks from his latest record, Apocalyptic Love. With suboctave and high-octave circuits that can be mixed independently, it’s a flexible pedal with a wide range of fuzz tones—from funky to furious—for everything from low-end riffs to searing leads. Hardcore fans are probably more interested in a pedal that gets the overdrive from "Sweet Child o’ Mine,’” but the Octave Fuzz’s incendiary tones reflect his more recent playbook, while paying homage to the Tycobrahe Octavia and Boss OC-3 Super Octave pedals he’s been using for the last couple of years. Slash had also expressed a desire for something similar to the MXR Blue Box, only more stable and predictable.To Theof the top panel features volume, tone, fuzz, sub octave, and octave up functions. The leftmost footswitch activates the pedal (and yes, it’s true-bypass switching), while the right kicks the octave up function in or out. Additionally, there’s a push button for sending the sub octave sound into the fuzz circuit—a nice touch that allows you to run subs either clean or dirty (though the tracking on cleaner tones isn’t quite as tight as with fuzz-assisted parts). It is an array of external and internal controls, the Slash Octave Fuzz provides an endless number of ways to combine the main Fuzz effect's thick '70s shag with the chainsaw grind of the Octave Up Fuzz and the warm growl of the Sub Octave. Internal Tone and Gain controls shape Octave Up Fuzz. Emblazoned with custom Slash graphics, the Slash Octave Fuzz features all analog circuitry, true hardwire bypass and comes in a heavy duty housing with durable jacks and switches.
