Tech Info

OCTRON4 is an expanded version of the Foxrox Octron3 pedal. It has the same features with the addition of 3 foot switches for activating signals. The Octave DOWN section includes the ability to dial in sub-octave sounds.

OCTRON4 IS AN ANALOG OCTAVE PEDAL - NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH A DIGITAL OCTAVE PEDAL.

SWITCHING: TRUE BYPASS is handled by the foot switch on the top level. Blue LED is lit up when activated.

SIGNAL ACTIVATION SWITCHES: The three lower foot switches control relays that turn the signals on and off and they correspond with the level controls.

LEFT: Octave UP. Yellow LED shows status.
CENTER: Direct. Red LED shows status.
RIGHT: Octave DOWN and SUB, combined. Green LED shows status.

SUB: Creates a note more than one octave below the note you play.
DIVIDE BY 4: Two octaves below the note you play.
DIVIDE BY 3: One octave, plus a fourth below the note you play. Play E, and you get a very low A.

FEATURES

DIRECT LEVEL: Controls the level of the direct signal while the pedal is activated.
OCTAVE UP LEVEL: Controls the level of the Octave UP signal.
BRIGHT/PURE SWITCH: Selects between a bright sound, rich in harmonics, and a darker sound with a more pure upper octave.
OCTAVE DOWN LEVEL: Controls the level of the Octave DOWN.
SUB LEVEL: Controls level of SUB.
SUB DIVIDE 3 / 4: Select SUB for one and a half octaves down, or two octaves down.
MIDS/LO SWITCH: Selects between a mid-boost and a super-fat low end. Setting applies to both Octave DOWN and SUB signals.
INPUT JACK: 1/4" stereo jack. Disconnect Input to shut off battery.
OUTPUT JACK: 1/4" stereo jack. A stereo jack is used to maintain equal tension.

Inside Octron4

The main board, shown here with the daughter board plugged in, has the input stage, the octave UP circuitry, and the mixing/output circuitry. It uses a set of relays which are controlled by the 3 foot switches on the front of the pedal.

This is the Octron4 daughter board. It has all of the octave divider circuitry.

Octron4 could possibly be a modern octave classic

S/N: 35 checking in here. Out of all the available effect types, the octave is certainly one of the most under-represented, and ANALOG octave more so. I switched to digital octavers for about a decade, and while digital is good, there is something about analog octavers that FEEL amazing under the fingers. It feels immediate and sounds organic. The tracking is superb without sounding sterile or clinical. There are no yucky artifacts when playing double stops. And there are many shades of octave / slight fuzz when I vary the knobs in conjunction with the guitar knobs. The three individual footswitches + global bypass footswitch is clever implementation and the sub is there when I need it (you can turn it down to zero if you don't want it).

All I'm saying is Dave Fox is severely underrated. He's done some iconic stuff that has flown somewhat under the radar (Captain Coconut, Paradox TZF, Aquavibe, etc) and I had to pay through the nose to get a Paradox TZF1 on the used market (although I was lucky enough to get the TZF2 at retail). Not making the same mistake again.

The Great

I have Octron3 which I love , but I have to bend over an change setting for different songs. Octron4 with a foot switch for each octave is brilliant! I love it, my favorite pedal.

Mr.

A really solid sounding pedal with a quality build. And most importantly, no noise. The tones are very natural.

Q: Is the octave down on the Octron 4 only 1.5 or 2 octaves down and not simply 1 octave down? Was considering for bass and 2 octaves down is usually too much. Thx!
