Aguilar Octamizer Owners Manual

THE OCTAMIZER™ ANALOG OCTAVE PEDAL

The Octamizer is the innovative analog octave pedal from Aguilar. It is designed to
create a wide range of musical sounds an octave below your original note.

The Octamizer features independent volume controls for both the Clean and Octave
sounds, making getting the right amount of effected (octave) sound and normal (clean)
sound easy. The two discrete signal paths also have their own tone controls that were
specifically designed to enhance and expand their musical possibilities.

The Clean Tone control is a Full Spectrum Tilt EQ, allowing for the boosting of treble
while cutting bass or boosting of bass while cutting treble. This unique circuit allows you
to create a clean sound that creates an octave doubling effect or to blend the sounds
together for a great thick, snarky synth tone.

The Octave Filter control is a sweepable multipole low-pass Filter that lets you shape the
octave sound from smooth and deep to edgy and aggressive.

Features:

• Proprietary detector circuit for superior tracking

• Level Controls for Octave and Clean sounds

• Full Spectrum Tilt EQ for Clean sound

• Sweepable multi-pole low-pass filter for Octave sound

• Heavy duty steel construction

• 9 volt operation

• Optional universal power supply available
