The Octo Factory is a modified version of the popular Fuzz Factory pedal. It features five knobs for Vol, Comp, Gate, Fuzz, and Stab, which are standard on the Fuzz Factory. However, the Octo Factory takes it a step further by adding three additional knobs for even more control and customization.The first added knob is the Fat control, which provides a variable version of the Fat switch found on the Filthy Fack. While it may not be noticeable when playing with normal fuzz settings, when the Stab pot is turned down into oscillation mode, the extra frequencies running around the circuit become apparent, completely changing the nature of the oscillations.The second added knob is the Bias pot, which allows you to soften or harden the fuzz. This knob gives you even more control over the tone and character of the fuzz.Lastly, there is a simple Tone control knob to shape the overall tone of the fuzz.The Octo Factory also features a Sanity bypass footswitch, which allows you to switch between two different modes with a single stomp of the foot. When bypassed, the circuit receives the full 9V of power it requires. When engaged, the Sanity pot comes into play, allowing you to starve the circuit and unleash beastly oscillations. This footswitch can also be set to momentary mode for added fun.Additionally, the Octo Factory is available with silicon transistors instead of the usual germanium transistors. This provides a different flavor of fuzz and offers more temperature stability.Overall, the Octo Factory is a tweaker’s delight, offering a wide range of control and customization options for those who love experimenting with fuzz tones.
