CNZ Audio SOC-10 Octopus Octave Pedal

OCTO-PLY YOUR OCTAVES

Late guitar guru, Jimi Hendrix was one of the early pioneers in the use of octave effects in music. An Octave Effect can make it sound like there are multiple guitars playing the same notes all at different, but uniform, frequencies. For our ears, this effect is possible due to the "basic miracle of music," the octave. Imagining a piano keyboard, if you start on an "A" key, and go up 12 keys (12 semitones/half-steps) you'll find another "A" key that sounds an Octave higher. The same thing happens if you go down 12 keys, but that "A" key will be an Octave lower. When you go up the octave, the frequency doubles. When you go down the octave, the frequency is halved. The SOC-10 Octopus takes the notes of your signal and halves and/or doubles their frequencies. You can then mix and blend one or both of these synthesized octaves with your original signal to add a little thickness to your tone, or you can go way far out to the Octopus' garden in the shade. That's a heavy dose of effects pedals mashing with music theory... #amirite?
