The Octave Jawn is a digital octave up/down circuit from Fuzzrocious, first demoed at NAMM 2018 at the Delicious Audio Stompbox Booth. It is not a standalone pedal: Fuzzrocious stated that it would only be available as a drop-in mod, added to effects from the company's line. You can have it added through the Mods dropdown windows on the Fuzzrocious website, and existing Fuzzrocious products can be sent in to be modded1. For context on where it sits, see the site's page on Octave & Pitch Pedals.
What it does
The circuit is digital, and Fuzzrocious describes it as "a digital octaver specifically made to track faster than many other digital octavers on the market"1. It is fully polyphonic, meaning it can track chords, unlike an analog octaver that only sometimes tracks single notes1.
Control is simple. The top-left pot, a small knob, mixes your clean and octaved signal1.
"THIS WON'T BE A PEDAL. Huh? Octave Jawn will ONLY be available as a drop-in mod."
