The Maza FX Taurus Octave V2 is an analog octave pedal from the Argentine maker Maza FX, listed under the octaver and reverb categories. It is the new version of the Taurus octave, and it works three ways: a polyphonic octave up and down, an octave down with reverb, and an octave down with a little octave up added into a delay1. For a player, it covers ground that would otherwise take an octave pedal, a reverb pedal and a delay pedal on the same board.
The three modes
RockBoard's PedalPedia describes the V2 as incorporating three octave modes1:
| Mode | What it does |
|---|---|
| 1 | A polyphonic octaver up and down, plus a filter control over the octave up voices, which RockBoard's PedalPedia says helps achieve a better final audio1 |
| 2 | An octave down with a hall-like reverb1 |
| 3 | An octave down with a slight mixture of octave up added to a delay1 |
The polyphonic first mode is the headline feature: it tracks chords rather than single notes, and the filter over the octave up voices gives a way to shape the upper octave so it sits in the mix. Modes 2 and 3 lean on the octave down, dressing it with reverb or with a blend of octave up into a delay1.
The pedal draws 60mA at 9V DC, center negative1. That is enough that a low-output daisy chain position may not feed it properly; a dedicated or higher-current supply output is the safer pairing.
Versions and videos
The V2 is the current version of the Taurus octave1. Two videos are available for it, both in Spanish: an official product video from the maker and a demo by MartinMoyan01. A manual in Spanish is published as a PDF from the product page1.

Questions
Is the Maza FX Taurus Octave V2 analog or digital?
The Taurus Octave V2 is an analog pedal. Maza FX lists its circuit type as analog on the product page, even though it offers octave, reverb and delay style modes. That matters for players who build their board around analog signal paths or who prefer how analog circuits respond to playing dynamics.
Is the Taurus Octave V2 polyphonic?
Yes, in its first mode. Maza FX describes mode 1 as a polyphonic octaver up and down with a filter control over the octave up voices, which the maker says helps achieve a better final audio. The other two modes are built around the octave down instead.
What power does the Taurus Octave V2 need?
The Taurus Octave V2 runs on 9V DC, center negative, and draws 60mA. That is more than many simple analog pedals take, so it is worth checking the budget of a daisy chain supply before adding it to a shared output.
Does the Taurus Octave V2 include reverb?
Yes, in one of its three modes. Mode 2 pairs an octave down with a hall-like reverb. Mode 3 instead adds a slight mixture of octave up to a delay, so the reverb is available only in the second mode rather than as a separate always-on effect.
Is there a manual for the Taurus Octave V2?
Yes. Maza FX publishes a manual in Spanish as a PDF, linked from the pedal's product page. It covers the pedal's three octave modes and its controls.
