JH-OC1 JIMI HENDRIX

OCTAVIO

A true Rock N’ Roll artifact - Hendrix’s chipped, off-white,
“cheese wedge” pedal with hand-stenciled lettering - is
enshrined at the Experience Music Project, Seattle’s hallowed
rock and roll museum. Jimi’s original octave dividers don’t look
like much, but these magic boxes produced the unforgettable
fuzzed-out octave tones heard on the legendary Band of
Gypsys: Live at the Fillmore East performance.

Recently, a team of Dunlop engineers made a pilgrimage to
Seattle to examine and document an original Octavio — the
holy grail of octave tone. They measured and scoped with
loving care. The result? The Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Octavio is an
exact clone of the amazing “octave up” pedal that Jimi used to
make rock history. It’s all here: every knob and jack, a DPDT
on/off switch, and the exact same circuit layout faithfully
copied from the original “breadboard,” front-panel controls
which let you dial in just the right amount of fuzz and adjust
overall level. Own a little piece of Jimi — the Dunlop Jimi
Hendrix Octavio.
