Clean Octave Badger
Clean Octave Badger
Please note this is a pre-order item. A rough guide for build time is 3-4 weeks after ordering, but please feel free to get in touch for a more accurate estimate.
I first built this pedal when guitarist Eric Zapata asked if I'd do a clone of the Prescription Electronics “Clean Octave Blend”. The one I built for him was used on tour with Gary Clark Jr.
It features 3 controls, a Volume, Octave and Blend. Unlike the Manic Fuzz, which has a switch to turn the octave effect on or off, this circuit uses a potentiometer (the Blend control) to - you guessed it - blend between the octave and clean signals. In this way, you can have a more nuanced control over how much octave tone is in the output vs a boosted clean tone.
My version is built onto a custom designed PCB using my own layout taken from tracing the circuit of an original Prescription Electronics pedal.
