PRESS RELEASE

Authentic Analog Jimi Hendrix Octavio

January 15, 2007

A true rock 'n roll artifact — Hendrix's chipped, off-white, "cheese wedge" pedal with hand stenciled lettering—is enshrined at the Experience Music Project, Seattle's hallowed rock and roll museum. Jimi's original 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.

Available April 2007.
