Japanese pedal company Animals Pedal has always picked crazy names for their devices, but the one they chose for their “In Oct,3 Foxes Talking of Dreamy Fuzz” is on a whole other level of crazy.
This is an octave-up pedal referencing the vintage devices of the ’70s (in all likelihood, considering the name, a Foxx Tone Machine), but with more flexibility, thanks to the Oct toggle switch that lets you turn off the octave, and to an articulate interaction with the guitar’s volume that allows for a wide palette of tones.
The three knobs for Level, Sustain and Tone open up several fuzzy sonic possibilities. Hear them in the video below.

An octave fuzz wearing velvet that represents the 70’s. In Oct,3 Foxes talking of dreamy FUZZ was born from that pedal that keeps the intense and clear sound.
