Mojo Hand FX released the Octaverse, a reverse octave delay pedal, on July 26, 2022, at a US list price of $159¹².

The pedal reverses the guitar signal and adds it back into the mix as a delay, which can be set to either an octave up or down¹. A push button toggles the octave of the delay, and three knobs control Mix, Rate and Feedback¹. At maximum feedback, the pedal will not quite self-oscillate but settles into a drone, according to Guitar.com². Mojo Hand says the Feedback knob set fully clockwise offers a "near-infinite amount of repeats" that fade out over several minutes, which it says facilitates pad-type sounds¹.

Guitar.com reports that the Octaverse also performs well on other instruments or as a studio effects unit, citing a demo by YouTuber Galen Bundy feeding the pedal a Rhodes signal². The pedal has a compact footprint, Guitar.com reports².

The first 25 units will be serial-numbered with a limited-edition green hand logo¹².
