First introduced in 2017 as a homage to the iconic Foxx Tone Machine, the Diamond F-Octave has reclaimed its spot in the Canadian brand‘s lineup, delivering the same high-gain silicon fuzz that defined early ’70s rock tones.
Known for its raw saturation, chewy sustain, and sharp octave-up grit, this pedal channels vintage character while offering modern playability.
At its heart lies a discrete analog fuzz circuit, meticulously tuned for harmonic richness and dynamic response. True to its roots, the layout remains straightforward, yet with added tonal control thanks to its two modes.
- Octave Mode: Engages upper-register harmonics for synth-like textures and cutting leads.
- Pure Fuzz Mode: Delivers warm, mid-heavy compression, ideal for thick riffing or singing sustain.
Veratile across musical genres, the F-Octave excels on both guitar and bass, delivering saturation, rawness and classic rock tones. Rolling back the guitar’s volume reveals sputtery breakup, while maxing it unleashes howling sustain.
Two extra controls allow precise shaping:
- LPF smoothes high-end fizz
- TONE shifts between dark warmth and bright aggression
For octave-heavy playing, single notes above the 12th fret cut sharply, while chords generate unpredictable harmonic swirls—a signature of the Foxx lineage.
