The JH-OC1 is a true rock 'n roll artifact like Jimi's original guitar pedal. His chipped, off-white, "cheese wedge" pedal with hand stenciled lettering is enshrined at the Experience Music Project, Seattle's hallowed rock and roll museum. Hendrix's octave dividers don't look like much, but these magic boxes produced the unforgettable fuzzed-out octave tones heard on the legendary Band of Gypsys: Live at the Fillmore East performance.

Recently a team of Dunlop engineers made a pilgrimage to Seattle to examine and document an original Octavio—the holy grail of octave tone. They measured and scoped with loving care. The result? The Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Octavio is an exact clone of the amazing "octave up" pedal that Jimi used to make rock history.

It's all here: every knob and jack, a DPDT on/off switch, and the exact same circuit layout faithfully copied from the original "breadboard," front-panel controls which let you dial in just the right amount of fuzz and adjust overall level. Own a little piece of Jimi—the Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Octavio.

when i first got this pedal, i got one that didnt work. so i finally got one that worked and this pedel is amazing. palm mute bending is amazing, so is the sustained vibratos. this produces that bassy vumb sound just as well with the octave up. If your a fan of Jimi this is a must have.

Cool stuff. However, for those of you expecting to hook this up to a clean solid state amp and sound like Jimi, you may be dissapointed. Hendrix would crank his Marshalls to a natural overdrive (think "Hey Joe" drive levels), run his Fuzz Face cranked ("Fire" or "Voodoo Chile" territory) then have this thing in front of the fuzz with the fuzz set low and the level high, to get as pronounced an octave as possible. Using this by itself isn't going to get you that "Purple Haze" solo tone.

I got this a few days ago and am liking it. It takes a while to fiddle around with at first to get the right sound. I am playing a Strat into a Spider Line 6 Combo and it sounds really cool. The only thing is I can't really seem to get the octave "up" sound that Hendrix plays in the Purple Haze solo but I like the sound enough to keep it. But the weird thing is that it picks up radio frequencies which is odd because that is not a feature on my amp, sometimes I will hear radiomercials or some french lady talking. This may be because its analog but whatever it makes me laugh. All around its a cool pedal, you just have to mess with it to get it right.

Got one of these pedals as a Christmas gift. Here's the deal: I can't stop playing Hendrix riffs! I'm running a Peavey Wolfgang into a Marshall Vintage Modern combo. The magic tone comes when you switch on the neck pickup, ease off the volume and play around the 12th fret. It just sounds VINTAGE! It's an addictive effect!

This is a good pedal.I've had it for a day now and I can barely stop playing. This pedal is very responsive to different settings, guitars, and amp settings, It sounds equally good with single coils and humbuckers. The thing to remember is the octave tone becomes more pronounced when playing past the 12th fret or when playing chords and double stops. The best setting I found is the fuzz rolled all the way down and level all the way up. It does not have as much sustain with the fuzz rolled all the way down and a clean amp, but an overdrive, compressor, or distortion pedal cures that.
