Title: loud Octavia
Post by: axis on March 22, 2004, 02:53:27 PM
Hi all, I just finished building  a Tycobrahe Octavia and I really like the effect. :D The one negative is that it's extremely loud, making it difficult to get a balance between it and the volume of the amp.I have to turn the volume on the pedal down to about  half way to get it to even up with the amp volume.Is there anything I could do to solve this issue.Thanks for the help.

Isn't the middle of the pot where you would want unity gain to occur?

How exactly is this an issue? That's a feature not as bug :wink: Be sure to try the Octavia with the *intensity* turned fully off. More pronounced octave effect that way.
