I've said more than once that the Foxx Tone Machine is my favorite fuzz/octave pedal. I think I've said
the same thing about the Tychobrahe Octavia. I've come to accept that both statements are true :)
If the Octavia (mbp Retrograde) is the classic, Hendrix style oct-up fuzz, then the Tone Machine
(Wolfshirt) is its unruly cousin; the one that has a few too many at family gatherings and then
proceeds to mortify everyone. The fuzz is thicker and the octave up is more prominent. Basically, a bit
of a face melter.
As with all analog octave up generators, the Wolfshirt is monophonic. It doesn't do chords well at
all with all kinds of odd harmonics taking over. But, for lead and single note playing it cuts through
exceedingly well. The Wolfshirt also includes a switch to defeat the octave up for fuzz only and
replaces the coupling electrolytic caps in the audio path with 1uF film caps. For mojo.
