The brownish box has been a staple on pedalboards for 30 plus years. The Octaver is the first incarnation of the OC-2 Octave pedal. The name was changed to Octave in 1984, but the internal circuit remained the same. You have to be careful you only play one note at a time, and that your frets don&buzz too much. This isn&a polyphonic pedal, and it is very sensitive to any extra sound and nuance, but not in a good way. It is recommended you use a compressor in front. I¬ particularly a huge fan of octave pedals myself, but I can certainly see the appeal. I much prefer my EH POG, but this guy is a classic. It is still used today by many many players. -Cameron Johnson Music by Atma Weapon
