Mojo Hand FX Octaverse Reverse Octave Delay

We somehow missed the release of the Mojo Hand FX Octaverse earlier this year, and it's a shame because it looks like one of the coolest pedals released by the Michigan-based company in some time: it's a reverse delay with an added up-or-down octave circuit. The idea is quite unique…Click on the title for more
