I was very disappointet when i got my octa fuzz. first of all it is way to silent and you really dont heart the octave effect.. i think its a good fuzz pedal but its still not what i wanted. if you want the real octafuzz sound go and get urself a fulltone octafuzz.. its sad that dunlop put jimi hendrix' name on this pedal even though the fulltone octafuzz sounds much more like him. another great example for the fulltone sound is HIM - Right here in my arms LIVE
another thing that i dont like about the JH octafuzz is that you cant play palm muted riffs on it.. its way too silent for that.. but that could also be a result of my line 6 combo amp
Reliability/Durability:
this pedal will still be working in a few decades.. and the batteries survive forever.. mine worked for over 3 months even though i forgot to take the cord out of the input button over my 6 week holiday ^^
Ease of Use:
of course it is easy to use because it has only two knobs.. but on the other hand it's not that easy to get the tone you want. it's gonna take you a while to get that "one octave up" sound. if u just want a simple fuzz u dont have to add another pedal but if u add another distortian pedal (e.g.SD-1) the sound is just out of control but unique :) you can get the manual from the dunlop page but it won't help you a lot.
Customer Support:
never had any problems with it
Overall Rating:
as i already sad... dont buy this pedal because of the octave feature.. you actually cant hear it with the right equipment.. its ok for a fuzz pedal even though there are better ones.. but again.. its sad that dunlop put jimi hendrix name on this one
