I'm resurrecting this because the pUrPle OCTopus pedal, as conceived in this very thread, is now an official Henretta Engineering pedal. Thanks to ILF for being the fuel injector in this purple wonder! It's just a simple analog octave up that can get pretty quirky with chords and picky with neck location and pickup selection - just like an Octavia without the fuzz. It's a fun one.

Is it like a Green Ringer?

Yes, it's certainly Green Ringer-ish but a little more pronounced. It includes an output volume trimmer (with a bit of a boost available) and an EQ trimmer that can cut some of the original signal out.

Nice. I like Green Ringers.

That clip you heard was with the mix control rolled back to about 50% effect. I just added a couple more clips to the website with a 100% effect setting.

I've added a couple more, including a fun synth sound using my Green Zapper auto filter pedal.

Thanks, Mudfuzz! And thanks for coming up with the name. The word "octopus" is fitting because it's the eighth pedal I've developed.
