TOCT
The Tycho Brahe Octavia effect is thought itself to be a clone of the Octavia effect originally built for Jimi Hendrix by Roger Mayer. However, the Tycho Brahe Octavia is esteemed as the most intense Octave-up fuzz to have been created.
Controls
- Pre-Gain
- Intensity
- Volume
The Pre-Gain control is the addition of General Guitar Gadgets and controls the amount of fuzz that is created. If turned down, it allows more octave-up effect to be audible.
General Information
http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/pdf/ggg_toct_bom.pdf
The TOCT, as reworked by General Guitar Gadgets uses NPN transistors so that conventional Boss-style center-negative AC power adapters can be used. The original Tycho Brahe Octavia used PNP transistors would require a different kind of AC power adapter.
Phase Inversion
Our preliminary look at the schematic indicates that it should not invert phase. This will need to be born out by testing and observation.
Pedal Manual
General Guitar Gadgets has not issued a manual on how to use the TOCT.
