Tom, I thought you hated octave fuzz?

It is true that I haven’t gotten along with octave fuzz in the past, but things changed a couple of years ago.  In a video on Instagram I saw that Sarah Lipstate was using a vintage Univox Superfuzz with Iggy Pop.  It looked and sounded killer and I had to try one out for myself.  Some internet research showed that the Univox Superfuzz is the same as the Shin Ei FY-6, and I already own a Wattson FY-6 reproduction.  So I started messing around with it and grew to love its thorny and raspy nature.  Around the same time I also started to get really into the fOXX Tone Machine that a friend lent to me.

As I played these fuzzes more and more I wished there was a way to get the “hint of octave” swizzle of the Superfuzz as well as the all-out octave-up harmonic of the Tone Machine.  I also really like the Tone Machine’s base fuzz tonality and texture with the octave switch off.  Was there a way to get it all in one box?

The answer for me were the fOXX Tone Machine transistors.  I bought a batch of modern PN3565’s and immediately the base tone flavor of the fOXX was right there.  Okay, how to get the octave up?  This part is long and convoluted and involves a Lynchian dream as well as inspiration from my son’s poetry school assignment.  Let’s cut to chase so that people don’t think I’m insane:  After many dead-ends and borrowed gear I realized that a piggy-backed NPN/PNP push-pull transistor configuration should work in the circuit, was it really that easy?  Not really.

After MUCH experimenting I finally did find a way to make it smoothly transition from No Octave to Hella Octave.  This was accomplished by changing the bias of both of the piggy-backed transistors in real-time.  Turning the Scramble control from counter-clockwise to clockwise takes the Octina on a journey from raw fOXX Tone Machine fuzz, to Fuzzrite, to Superfuzz, to pure Tone Machine octave up.  As well as many interesting stops in-between.


One of those stops, right around 2:00 on the Scramble control causes the Octina to go a little unstable, and feedback is lurking behind every note.  In a few prototypes I dialed it-out and made it more behaved.  But the more I played with this instability the more I liked it.  So I decided to leave it in, just beware that ~2:00 on Scramble can get loosey-goosey.

Speaking of noise, the Octina is a tiny bit noisier than most of my previous designs, but that is the price you pay for all of those increased upper harmonics and transistor abuse.  Some of my favorite settings are in the 10:00 to 12:00 range of the Scramble, especially where you get octave swizzles moving through chords.  It creates really cool movement on sustained chord stabs.  Also it responds really well to guitar tone knob and pickups changes.  Flipping to the neck pickup, or turning down the tone on the bridge, really emphasizes the octave up harmonics, much like an Octavia.  Lots of fun!

The 3-way Texture Toggle switches in/out diodes in this configuration:

  1. 80n Asymmetrical Diode Network
  2. Blower (Straight PN3565 Transistors)
  3. 1N4148 Silicon Diodes

These diode/no diode selections change both the character of the fuzz as well as the octave emphasis, so be sure to experiment.

Sorry I know this is basically a novel, but the Octina has been brewing for a few years now and there's a lot to say.

HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT!!!!!
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Don’t let the “unaesthetic” brand & packaging fool you— there is nothing better for acne than this face wash. I have been repurchased this face wash for almost 10 years now. I use it morning & night for acne & use it daily on my armpits for a detox. I have combination skin, so this knocks out my greasy areas & acne, & then I just go in with a heavy duty moisturizer, barrier serum & milky toner after for my dry areas. (Side note: I used Accutane as a 16 year old for cystic back acne & a face full of tiny white zits, & this has allowed me to maintain acne free skin almost 10 years later without getting a prescription ointment.) As for consistency & smell: It’s a white cream that doesn’t foam, & a little goes a long way. One bottle last a RIDICULOUSLY long time, unlike most “viral” face washes that last a month. It doesn’t have any added fragrance, but still smells very clean (almost like a light chlorine, which I personally love). As for cost: It’s also priced at an EXTREMELY low cost, with Walmarts great value version only being $0.50 less expensive for a more grainy & chemically smelling wash. !!!!!!!ADDED WARNING!!!!!: this is a 10% benzoyl peroxide cream, which is REALLY strong. You absolutely need to ease your way into using it so you don’t give yourself a chemical burn, every other day to start AT LEAST, & beware of how long you leave it on your skin. I know people with severe cystic acne that will leave it on for minutes before washing it off, but I leave it on for 15 seconds MAX or else my face gets irritated. Beware of sun exposure, & be sure to research if it interacts with other skincare products you’re currently using!

Omg
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Oh. My. Goodness. I had pretty bad acne. one day at a store I bought a travel size of one of these 10% panoxyl and tried it and omg my pimples are gone. Yes I get the occasional spots but they aren’t as terrible as before. My face is so much clearer and it even cleared a little spot of milia I had for so long! My face feels fresh everytime I use it and looks shiny and healthy. No burning for my face atleast. Doesn’t bleach if you rinse it off well. My routine is face wash, panoxyl, azelaic acid, moisturizer. Pretty simple I don’t follow influencers bc they make you buy all this junk products you don’t need for your face and for me less is better. The idea is that benzoyl peroxide essentially kills the bacteria that causes acne on your face. It works so well. I would recommend if you’re gonna use this to patch test on a part of skin near your face could be your temple area by your ear but it’s so important so you don’t end up with burning skin if your sensitive. But otherwise it’s so great and I love it I use it everyday with occasional 1-2 day breaks cleared my acne and now my face is getting more clear! So happy I got this.

An Absolute NEED In My Skincare Routine!!
Pattern Name: 50 count (1 pack of 50 ct), Pattern Name: 50 count (1 pack of 50 ct)
These are an absolute need in my skincare routine! I use them to remove oil-based and water-based cleansers and to remove masks. And I use them to dry my face and then to dry my hands in between products. They are very good quality and very soft. They are also thick and very durable. They have a smoother side and a textured side for very gentle exfoliation. I notice my face is more clear from using these as opposed to my microfiber washcloths. They’re fragrance-free and don’t really have a scent, maybe a very light, practically unnoticeable, bamboo scent. I think it’s a very good deal to get 50 XL disposable face towels for $17. I was using these for months and then didn’t use them for a few months and yeah huge difference in my skin, which is why I bought them again and will continue to. It’s also great not having to wash them lol! I also love the new magnetic lid closure and the new design of the box, you can now have your face towels fully covered and sealed without having to buy a separate box with lid to put them in. Although their prism holographic box is so cute and pretty, and their prism box is $20 cheaper on Amazon!

Great quality face cloths with a soft exfoliating texture to them.
Pattern Name: 50 count (1 pack of 50 ct)
Absolutely love these towels. So nice to have a clean towel every time you wash your face. They are the perfect texture for lightly exfoliating. These are just dry towels so you can use your own face wash with them. They are very durable. I tried ripping one in half once and was unable to. They are quite large and I have found that I can have twice as many by cutting them in half. They are still a great size after cutting them. I can definitely see why they are so highly rated. I definitely wasn't holding my breath with high hopes but after using them I am pleasantly surprised! They are quite reasonably priced especially if you cut them in half and if you subscribe to them for additional savings. Very surprised how much I love them!
