Members kyrreca Posted April 25, 2008 Members Posted April 25, 2008 From the ZVex site: IMPROVEMENTS:The newest Octane has the exact same audio circuit as the older ones, but has a special LED switching system that preserves the true-bypass while adding an LED on/off indicator. Also, this switching system silences the pedal's circuitry while it is in the "off" mode so it doesn't squeal or hiss in the background. Finally, there are two improvements to reduce radio reception, which was a serious problem with the older designs, and the main reason why I discontinued the pedal in the first place. In some cities, the older octanes picked up radio louder than the guitar!
Members pbone Posted April 25, 2008 Author Members Posted April 25, 2008 Thanks for that, should've looked there. So it's just the millenium bypass and those reception improvements?

I've only played the Octane 3, so I wouldn't know for sure, but I don't think there's any difference in the sound.
Members jgyn Posted April 25, 2008 Members Posted April 25, 2008 I have an Octane 1 and an Octane 3. The 1 seems to sound a wee bit wilder.
