Shape the sound of your fuzz with the LPF and TONE knobs and highlight the upper octave. Start with the LPF fully clockwise and the TONE control at noon for a balanced foundation. From there, tweak the TONE control to emphasise your ideal frequency - counterclockwise for warmer or darker tones, clockwise for a brighter fuzz, and adjust the LPF to smooth out and refine your tone to perfection.
The F-Octave's octave-up effect shines with single notes, delivering killer tones that cut through, especially above the 12th fret. Break new ground by using it for heavy chording, creating gnarly random overtones as the octave circuit searches for the root note. Double-stop bends produce a twisted multi-octave sound, with the high octave climbing while a subtle sub-octave slowly drops in pitch. Switch off the octave for a more straightforward fuzz.
Originally launched in 2017, the F-Octave returns to the Diamond lineup with its signature high-gain silicon fuzz, crafted in tribute to the legendary Foxx Tone Machine of the 70s. The F-Octave picks up the fuzz legacy, delivering raw, expressive tones with a character all its own. At its heart, F-Octave is a finely tuned, discrete analogue fuzz circuit designed for rich harmonic content and dynamic response. The layout is simple and intuitive, staying true to the spirit of classic stompboxes, but with added flexibility to shape your sound.
