I just got the phantom octave. It's my first Fuzzhugger(fx) pedal and I think it's my favorite pedal of all. Such a great idea for a pedal.

I've only had a chance to try it with one guitar ('64 Fender Duo-Sonic II) through Fender tube amp. Can't wait to try the Tele later!

report back on how it sounds with the tele. that thing sounds different with every guitar!

I got to try it with the Tele, an early 90's USA. It was a little less responsive to touch than with the Duo Sonic II. It sounded great though. Lately, I've been a little partial to the Duo Sonic too so that may have biased me.

The Phantom Octave is so responsive to volume and tone control, aside from touch. I think it sounds great when it sounds more "regular" and even more so when when it gets splattery and insane.

the phantom octave is a real fun pedal!

i like to use mine to boost an od or a fuzz that has a separate clean volume or even a blend knob. you get all the glitchy phantom octave goodness with some added anger!

I've been really inspired by the PO. My favorite guitar is a Peavey T-60, which has cool pickups that act like single coils from 7-10 of the tone knob and like humbuckers below 7. My wife said it sounds like I'm actually conducting electricity when I have it full bore but rolling down to 7 gives me a killer crunch tone, and down further gives me nice soft overdrive. With a phase switch and individual pickup controls I have a million configurations to dial in with this awesomely unique tool. I have it before an ABsynth, so far it doesn't really add anything to have them both on but that wasn't the point anyway.

Both of those are before a QTron+. Now that's a great combo: the output knob on the Phantom Octave plus the gain on the QTron are giving me lots of sounds that are almost like I'm talking, but actually saying something worth hearing.
