Shredcow "Only thing different is that you are going to the vintage type octave fuzz."
I don't quite get what you mean.
To the best of my knowledge octave fuzz is a vintage effect after all.
I'm still in pursuit of one which truly satisfies my octave lust.
I have not come across a modern variant of this per se. Almost every single manufacturer out there claims to be "an exact replication of the original tyco", I've tried about 4 different octave fuzz pedals already. None of them sound to me like the way the tyco sounded on recordings.
I started out with the ultimate octave, sounded really good, but to me it lacked the randomness and unpredictability of a real octave fuzz. Great for the satch type octave tones.
I'm just searching for the right one which can hit the right octave tone which I hear in my head. Most of the ones I've tried so far are either too shrilly silicon fuzzy or unresponsive "ringmod" octave note. They lack the fatness and the harshness of the original. Most only shine the most when played above the 12th fret. A really good octavia pedal should give you the upper register octaves and get the dirtier lower octave notes to ring out as well.
Due to some mix up, the chicago iron I ordered never processed but the vendor is currently in the process of getting one in his inventory. The wait time on them is a killer though, hopefully the Octah is true tyco like what the descriptions say.
At this point of time however, the Chicago Iron is probably the BEST one and the closest you can get to the original tyco tones on hendrix albums and SRV live tones. I have not heard one which comes closer.
A real Tycobrahe runs in about more than 1k USD...that is if you're lucky enough to find one.
