It accepts 9v power too, so if you use a powerall/ispot you're still fine.
Parallel octave distortion/fuzz & overdrive.
"The unique magic of the Pigtronix OFO is Fuzz and Overdrive wired in Parallel, allowing you to pile on the gain without sacrificing clarity, dynamic response, punch or low end.
The Pigtronix OFO Disnortion features three elements: a touch sensitive Overdrive, a Fuzz with 6 different filters, and a frequency doubler named Octava. Each effect is an original design and can each be used independently or in combinations to forge a tremendous range of musically responsive distortion sounds.
The Octava is wired in series before the Overdrive and Fuzz, allowing the pedal to produce a unique type of gated, gnarly grind that is absolutely devastating.
An additional buffered output provides a clean signal for parallel processing, direct recording or a side-chain trigger source for the Pigtronix EP-1.
Overdrive – We can assure you that there has never been an Overdrive quite like this. The Pigtronix Overdrive responds to the dynamics of your playing using a proprietary, 6-stage gain architecture that retains the natural tone of your instrument, adding tube-like breakup as you play louder. This circuit is so touch sensitive, it has been described as “...more tube than tube.” You must hear it to believe it! From Clean or Gritty Boost right up through Plexi roar, the Pigtronix Overdrive is the most musical Overdrive ever made.
Fuzz – Massive Gain, Full Bodied Sustain and Flexible Tone Shapes define our FUZZ effect. Pigtronix’s unique diode-clipping architecture provides plenty of compression and controllable feedback while preserving the dynamics of your playing style. The rotary tone control switch provides 6 musical EQ curves: Bass, Scoop, Treble, Smooth, F.A.T., and Full Range. The Pigtronix Fuzz can go from clean pre-amp duty to Hair Raising, Shred Fisted, Freak Out Pandemonium!
Octava – This frequency doubler effect makes the notes you play sound one octave up. A Filter control allows you to achieve singing octave up tones without adjusting your guitar’s tone control. Stable intervals such as 4ths and power chords result in knarly, tweezed out grind, while other intervals create ring-modulator textures in all registers. The Octava is wired in series with the other two effects for harmonic filled lead tones and outlandish bizarre crunch."
On its own the OFO cuts through, but with my ep-1 notched I can really grind a lot of mids out of my signal path.

Very versatile, from mild touch-sensitive overdrive to over-the-top fuzz rich with harmonics. Put an envelope filter after it for synthy fun. $120 is a steal.
The 6-way rotary switch allows you to select from six different filters for the Fuzz.
1= Full Range
2= F.A.T. (Mid Boosted)
3= Smooth
4= Treble
5= Mid Scoop
6= Bass

I really enjoy it too, I sold my DS-1, bass big muff, and behringer BDDI because this single pedal can do the sounds I wanted from those other pedals... I find that I just don't use it, though. Quote:

I've been looking into a Barber LTD SR for that reason but if this can do it, it might be a better route as I can ditch my Bass Big Muff too w/ this puppy |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: DC | | | Before my massive pedal selloff a few weeks ago, I put my bass muff and this pedal side to side with all my other distortions, and tried to get this pedal to emulate all the others. It was definitely successful at replicating the BBM (at least on the settings I like).
Got several people claiming they want the pedal, answering in the order I received the PM's. Pending payment. |
