ANALOG OCTAVE UP!

Add a dirty upper octave to your favorite fuzz, drive, or boost!  The octo deco can also be played on its own for tough, textured chords.  

INSPIRATION: Quirky analog octave and ring mod devices, the Green Ringer, pedal stacking.

CIRCUIT SCIENCE:  The circuit uses full wave rectification and a modernized matched diode array to produce vintage octave up tones.  A low pass filter improves signal to noise (like AM radio!), but does not alter the sound.  The original Green Ringer used a matched diode pair device and we pay tribute to that approach, using a modem equivalent.  Instead of germanium diodes, we employ a matched Schottky diode device that ensures maximum octave generation.

SOUND: Octo deco is a classic ringer-type octave up that enhances your other pedals- try it with boost, drive and fuzz.  Vintage upper octave effects abound near the 12th fret, especially with your tone rolled back and using neck pickups.  Placed in front of a fuzz, octo deco creates an explosive distortion experience.

VERSION HISTORY:  Series 2 graphics feature an 8 card, a nod to the upper octave in a diatonic scale and also the underground activity of the deco era.  A skull signals an element of danger and a link to its partner in fuzz, our asunder pedal.
