Members warioblast Posted June 15, 2008 Members Share Posted June 15, 2008 I want to replace my RM vision octavia for something smaller. There is less talk about the octafuzz than about the other kits. I can't find clips or videos.Does it mean that the octafuzz kit isn't as good as the other kits ? Yeah I know octavia is less popular than big muff, rat...So who's tried it ? How does it stand towards the many boutique tycobrahe clones ?

Members L_Z_nut Posted June 15, 2008 Members Share Posted June 15, 2008 I wouldn't know.... but I have the older GGG version and it sounds fantastic. Their kit is cheaper as well, and the additional pre-gain control (I added it to my older version) is a very good feature to tame the beast, so to speak. It's a very fuzzy monster. They're basically the same octave circuit based around a tiny transformer. http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=136&category_id=7&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members warioblast Posted June 15, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 15, 2008 I don't care for the on/off octave switch but the pre-gain pot looks like a good idea. I will find out if GGG sells internationally. Is there a GGG forum ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jgyn Posted June 16, 2008 Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 I have the rocket shaped Roger Mayer AND a BYOC, and they're considerably different (BYOC more gain, probably due to transformer (RM's design has none)). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members warioblast Posted June 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 I have just ordered the kit from GGG. With shipping to France & taxes, it's about the same price I would have pay for the BYOC kit + shipping from their Dutch dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
