## Overview

The Catalinbread Octapussy is a compact, analog octave-up fuzz pedal featuring a unique circuit with three silicon transistors and two diodes. It offers three responsive controls—Gain, Body, and Attenuate—that shape everything from shimmering octave leads to thick, grungy fuzz. Designed for dynamic playing with exceptional sustain and a built-in noise gate, it runs on 9V battery or DC power, making it a versatile and powerful addition to any guitarist’s rig.

## Description

The Octapussy is, essentially, an octave-up fuzz in the tradition of the Octavia. But it's not a clone of that circuit! Nope, it's an original circuit utilizing three silicon transistors and two diodes that takes the tradition to the next level! The preamp section is custom voiced to give you an extremely dynamic playing response. You'll get those famous high-octave lead tones up high on the guitar neck but you'll also get an amazing array of fuzz tones anywhere else on the neck - just by how you play it and how your guitar's volume, tone and pickup selector is set.

Review: Excellent! - The most dynamic, responsive octave up fuzz I have ever played. Great note bloom and sustain. This one doesn't choke your notes off like some lesser octave fuzzes. Depending upon where the knobs are set on both the pedal as well as the volume knob and pickup selection on your guitar this one does everything from singing octavia style leads to thick, grungy, doomy, superfuzz/fz-2 hyperfuzz type power chord riffing to to steel drum type sounds. Highly recommended.
Review: Does not play well with multiple notes - The sustain on this pedal is frankly disgusting. I have a beater guitar that can barely finish out a measure sometimes, but with this baby I can hold a note for a full minute. Set your tone to 0, switch to neck and palm mute out that chiptune solo you've always wanted! The tone on this pedal is finicky - play even the ghost of two notes at a time and listen to the fuzz implode into static noise. SOMETIMES you can get 2-note power chords to sound alright. But if you can play lead, this is a great pedal with a unique sound. Durable, well made, and with its own noise gate system inside, so it's quiet as a mouse unless you want to play something.

## Features

- Three carefully voiced controls that are as responsive and musical as you want them to be throughout the entire range of the knobs
- Attn. (Attenuate) -This control should normally be set full counterclockwise. For best tone and response, only attenuate when you’ve got the Gain and Body knobs really cranking and need to reduce the output some
- Gain - This control increases the gain for more fuzz, harmonics, and upper-midrange frequency boost. It is voiced to be usable throughout its range from minimum all the way to maximum
- Body - This control increases the bass response or thump frequencies
- Utilizing 3 silicon transistors and two diodes that takes the tradition to the next level

### ⭐ Total Trash and Poor Sound and Quality Control
*by M***Y on May 6, 2025*

High pitch sound comes from the pedal regardless of what guitar you plug in. Terrible sound regardless of what settings you use. Not a fuzz pedal but a garbled faint sitar like sound. I am returning it.
