Manlay Sound / Octavi

＜＜Jul 2025 New Product！＞＞ A lovingly recreated version of the legendary Octavia octave-up fuzz sound used by Jimi Hendrix.

The Octavi is a reissue of the classic Octavia pedal, recreating the legendary fuzz-and-octave-up sound made famous by Jimi Hendrix. This effect was invented by the great Roger Mayer and honed through early Jimi Hendrix recordings like ""Purple Haze"" and ""Fire,"" the ""Axis: Bold As Love"" sessions, and his legendary performances at Fillmore East in 1969-70.

Roman Gil, a Spanish maker of exceptional fuzz pedals, is renowned for his meticulous component selection and ear for tuning, and is a huge Jimi Hendrix fan himself, so he's lovingly refined the Octavi's sound to sublime levels.

The original pedal used by Hendrix apparently went by various names (Octavia/Octavio), but one of them was built by Roger Mayer around 1969 and reverse-engineered by Tychobrahe in the early 1970s, selling it as the ""Octavia.""

Manlay Sound's model is named ""Octavi,"" also named after a person in Catalonia. The housing design faithfully reproduces the original pedal used by Hendrix, but in a slightly smaller size. The appearance remains the same as the original, and the logo lettering also recreates the same style as on the Band Of Gypsys album.

The expensive transformers and other components were meticulously selected and meticulously selected, ensuring uncompromising tuning in terms of sound.

Combining homage to classic sound with modern ease of use, this pedal offers today's guitarists the most precious Octavia experience.
