The Mojo Hand FX Octaverse is a reverse octave delay in a stompbox: it reverses your signal and adds it back into the mix as a delay, with a pushbutton that selects whether those repeats sit an octave up or an octave down. Mojo Hand FX describes it as "a dedicated reverse octave delay with a selectable High or Low octave," and positions it as bringing functions previously available only on some high priced multi function delays into a simple pedal design12. Guitar World's Sam put it plainly when the pedal launched: "this eye-catching new stompbox reverses your [electric guitar] signal and adds it back into the mix as a delay"3.
Controls
The Octaverse keeps things to three knobs and one button, all described on the maker's product page41:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Rate | Adjusts the delay time1 |
| Mix | Controls the dry/wet ratio of the delay. Fully left is dry (no delay), fully right is 100% wet4 |
| Feedback | Adjusts the amount of repeats4 |
| Octave pushbutton | Selects whether the delay is an octave up or an octave down1 |
The Feedback knob has a trick worth knowing about. At the maximum setting, the maker says there is "a near-infinite amount of repeats without self-oscillation that slowly fades out over several minutes"4. Guitar World noted that when set fully clockwise, the Feedback knob offers a "near-infinite amount of repeats" that fade out over several minutes, facilitating pad-type sounds3. In practice that means you can hold a chord, let the reversed, octave-shifted repeats stack up, and back the pedal off into an ambient bed without the runaway oscillation most delays produce at that end of the dial.
Power and practicalities
The Octaverse runs on a standard center negative 9V DC supply, which is not included, and draws about 70mA1. There is no 9V battery connector, so a battery will not get you out of trouble; it needs a proper supply output. It is true bypass, so when it is off it stays out of your signal path1.
The pedal has no 9V battery connector, so it will not run without an external supply1.
The limited first run of 25
The first 25 units sold were serial-numbered with a limited edition green hand logo, as reported by both Guitar World and Guitar.com at launch36. Premier Guitar's news item also notes the enclosure carries a baked-on sparkle powdercoat5, which fits with Guitar World calling it an eye-catching stompbox3.
B Stock and availability
Mojo Hand FX also sells B Stock Octaverses: pedals in perfect working condition with slight finish imperfections or chips, though the maker says you will not get a pedal with any major or hideous defects. These come with the original box, bag, and a lifetime warranty, and are listed at a sale price of $127.00 USD as of 2026-10-26, against the regular $159.00 list price1.
Guitar.com reported the Octaverse as available now at launch in July 20226. The maker's pitch is that functions previously available only on some high priced multi function delays are now easily attainable with this simple pedal design, adding a new pedal twist to the tools of any ambient musician1.
If you are weighing it against other pitch-shifting tools, it sits in the same family as other Octave & Pitch Pedals, and players building an ambient board often pair it with a conventional Delay Pedals unit or a Reverb Pedals for washes.

Questions
Is the Mojo Hand FX Octaverse true bypass?
Yes. Mojo Hand FX lists the Octaverse as true bypass, so the pedal takes itself out of the signal path entirely when switched off. It runs on a standard 9V DC center negative supply, which is not included, and there is no 9V battery connector inside, so plan on using a dedicated supply output or a pedalboard power brick.
What does the Feedback knob do at full clockwise?
Feedback adjusts the amount of repeats. At the maximum setting, the maker says the pedal produces a near-infinite amount of repeats without self-oscillation that slowly fade out over several minutes. Guitar World noted that this makes the pedal useful for pad-type sounds, where long, sustained washes of reversed, octave-shifted delay sit under the dry guitar.
Where is the Mojo Hand FX Octaverse made?
Premier Guitar's news item on the pedal lists it as made in the USA, and notes it ships with a limited lifetime warranty. Mojo Hand FX's own listing for B Stock units repeats the lifetime warranty, so it applies across the range rather than only to first-run pedals.
How much does the Mojo Hand FX Octaverse cost?
The Octaverse lists at $159.00 USD on Mojo Hand FX's product page as of October 2025. The maker also offers B Stock units, pedals in perfect working condition with slight finish imperfections or chips, at a sale price of $127.00 USD as of October 2026.
What is the warranty on the Octaverse?
Premier Guitar lists the Octaverse as carrying a limited lifetime warranty, made in the USA. The maker's B Stock page likewise says those units come with the original box, bag, and a lifetime warranty, so even discounted finish-imperfect pedals are covered for the life of the pedal.
