Recommend a fuzz and octave pedal

[toejam]

I'm looking for a fuzz pedal and an octave pedal... maybe one that's got both together. I know most octave pedals come with only an octave up feature, but I'd also like to have something with one or two octaves down, maybe with the ability to blend the high and low together. Any suggestions? [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

If both together, Fulltone Octafuzz would be very nice.
I had one and sounded great.
Or how about Dunlop Hendrix fuzz octave?

I am not sure if there is any that goes two octaves down or up with fuzz.
Maybe you will need Wahmmy pedal and fuzz pedal?
Boss Octave pedal is a killer by the way.

How about a Big Muff fuzz reissue.

Boss Octaver
Boss Fuzz

Both cheap... both good. If you are a Fuzz conniseur there are many super high end Fuzz boxes. If you are the occasional Fuzz and Octave user, the Boss pedals are fine.

Electro Harmonix Octave Multiplexer. Hands down the BEST octave pedal I've ever used.

As for a fuzz, the fuzz face is cool, but the Univox Super Fuzz is the best I've used for a fuzz, but they are around $400 if you can find one...

Cool. Thanks, guys! Now I've got some research to do. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Hmm, I've actually got the XP100 Whammy/Wah collecting dust in the basement. Maybe I should dig that out! I know it has a patch where you can shift the pedal for octave down and octave up. I guess I'll need to rediscover what that pedal can do, as I really only used it for whammy and wah sounds, but that thing is a tone sucker!

I've had a Boss OC-3 Super Octave since the day they hit the shelves, and I'm really happy with it. It has built-in distortion of some kind, but since I'm using its Polyphonic mode, I've never tried the fuzz. Great pedal, in any case. Tracks much better than any other sub-$200 octave pedal I've tried.

Cool. I'll definitely have to check one of those out, too. I just dug out the old Whammy/Wah and messed around with it... what a horrible, digital sounding piece of crap! It's just pitch shifting the octaves but there's no level control to get just a slight mix in there; it's just overpowering the normal guitar signal.
