Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specific power supplies do not filter dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise. Intensity Sets the amount by which an input signal is being compressed. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power. Pedal Controls the level of the signal passing through the effect. We always recommend pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies. This device takes a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. Since the switching is relay based, it requires power to pass signal. Once you release the switch the effect will be bypassed. For momentary operation, hold the footswitch down for as long as you’d like to use the effect.For standard latching operation, tap the footswitch once to activate the effect and then tap again to bypass. ![]() This device features Flexi-Switch® Technology! This relay-based, true bypass switching style allows you to simultaneously use momentary and latching style switching. This is a classic monophonic octave up that will add a swelling octave to the fuzz tone!

The Tone Reaper is a vintage style fuzz device based on the “3 knob” bender. The Hoof has become the go-to fuzz for many well-known fuzz connoisseurs. Clockwise scoops the mids and counterclockwise enhances the mids. The shift control is the key to the Hoof’s character, it alters the frequency response of the tone control. It has a tighter, cleaner sound than most Muff’s which makes it more cutting and discernible in a band setting. It’s a germanium/silicon hybrid Muff-style fuzz (based on the old green Russian muff) with massive amounts of volume on tap and smooth amp-like sustain. Our flagship device! The Hoof is a no-fuss, easy-to-use device capable of sounds from warm, gritty overdrive to a huge, sustaining fuzz. ![]() Octaver OC-D2 is available for free download via Chris Hooker’s website (11.6 MB download size, ZIP archive, 32-bit VST plugin format for Windows, made with SynthMaker).Use the individual switches to activate the level of mayhem you wish to unleash.

These tools haven’t been implement simply for the sake of having more features, though. In contrast to the hardware Boss OC-2 guitar pedal which features only a bypass switch and three knobs the volume level of different octaves, the free Octaver OC-D2 plugin comes with an arsenal of built-in tools such as a noise gate, a filter, an envelope follower and a DC offset removal module, among other goodies. Since it’s a really neat freebie tool for guitarists and music producers in general, we’re featuring it in our news section even though it’s not technically a brand new freebie release.Īnyways, the plugin’s design seems to be heavily inspired by hardware guitar pedals such as the BOSS OC-2, however the plugin version implements quite a lot of added features which are there to provide additional control over the processed signal.
