Hello, I've been trying to figure out MXR Sub machine and MXR la machine, I couldn't find any gutshots of it to understand the components used. Is there any similar device that I could build? Can I mix a fuzz design with an octave design?

Hi, welcome to the forum....how about an Octavia?  It was good enough for Hendrix  :)  Not too hard to build, but you will have to order a small transformer for it, not a big deal at Small Bear or somewhere.

Look on the net for "Tychobrahe Octavia" to find a schematic, it is very common.

When I 'hear talk' about a pedal I don't know, I go on Youtube and find it, see what it might sound like - you could do that, too, for Octavia or whatever.

Good luck!

Thanks, while looking for octavia I found a possible equivalent (maybe this mxr one is modded version of it) called foxx tone machine, I'm going to try that out.
