There is a reason that Wata only uses a very old Shiva on her board. We have sent her all of the other variations and they aren't as good as the first.
Stop making me want stuff, Louise!
My newer She Fuzz does get pretty abrassive, but now I want to try an og.
The newest version (cream background with a lotta warrior hair in the art) is only slightly less gross than the OG. The components are almost exactly the same as V1, the exception being one electrolytic capacitor is reversed for greater build reliability (like, 99% up from 75% or so). I believe Boris are using Dwarfcrafts that are built on stripboard, which does wonders for nasty fuzz tones, not so much for reliability. Also they take approx 5 billion hours to build, so fuck some stripboard for production units.
I must have been thinking of the Shiva. I haven't payed a Robot Devil in a long time. Either that or I'm just dense. I mean, that's always a possibility.

Had a lot of octave up pedals in the past. So far, the lone wolf extreme octave is the most abrasive and tweakable.

I really haven't played my robot devil in quite a while as well. I honestly remember there being octave up.. maybe that's the bit commander. I know that has octave up.
It also has -1 and usually -2..
Zvex Johnny octave is pretty cool too..

Oh, right, mine is four years old, so not from the newer batch.

Well I have this version of the She Fuzz, and it's one of my favorite fuzzes ever. Sounds so dann good! Never really thought of it as an octave fuzz, though.

Throw that top switch up, play on the neck pickup way up high. You'll for sure hear some upper octave artifacts.
