Octavia

Very short description as surely everyone knows the Tycobrae Octavia.

Delicious vintage fuzz with an added octave-up.

We're offering the option of a switch to take out the octave so you just have the sick-as fuzz to play with.

9mm board-mounted pots for minimal wiring and easy enclosure mounting. These have round shafts so you'll need knobs with a set-screw fitting.

The transformer means this has to go into a deeper enclosure than we'd normally supply. The 1590B2 has the same footprint as the 1590B but is 7mm deeper.

If you want the PCB without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.

Partial kit: PCB, all board-mounted components, pots.

Full kit: As above, plus footswitch and appropriate daughterboard/components for your selected bypass type (see Downloads section for details of those), jack sockets, DC socket, battery snap, hook-up wire, LED.

Enclosure (pre-drilled) is only available with full kits, and will not take a battery. Knobs are not included.

Builds are only available with full kits including enclosures. Please choose appropriate knobs.

Lots of fun, original circuit
"Fantastic sounding circuit. The only mod I did that I liked was wiring the ground of the LED to the center point of the footswitch which put the LED into the signal path as well as working as an On/Off light. This way the left volume gain knob variably dims the light according to intensity. I drilled a generic guitar pedal LED light fixture in, I don't like the "solution" from the kit which is stupid. All in all, a great and easy pedal project that sounds like Hendrix.

Thanks for the review. Can you elaborate on the stupid solution? No idea what aspect you’re referring to. Thanks.

Marvellous!
"Tycobrae magic! I have never had a shot of the real deal but now I don't need to. The kit was really easy to put together and the sounds are amazing! I opted for the switch to have the octave in or out. The fuzz alone is outstanding, add in the octave and you have what you would expect from a circuit like this. Even dial the fuzz back and keep the octave on for the wild "ring-mod" like tones, works fun into funky. Cannot wait for the next build.
