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.

As always, if you want to be among the first informed of when the Octina is restocked and available please subscribe to our email list, the link is at the bottom of every page and on the front page.

A Beautiful Edition of a Timeless Journey
This deluxe edition transforms Coelho's beloved fable into a truly special keepsake. The larger format, quality paper, and thoughtful design details make it feel like the gift it's meant to be—whether you're giving it to someone at a crossroads in their life or treating yourself to an upgrade from a worn paperback copy. The story itself remains as powerful as ever. Santiago's journey across the desert in search of treasure is deceptively simple on the surface, but Coelho's allegory works on multiple levels. Yes, it's about following your dreams, but it's also about learning to read the signs the universe offers, understanding that the journey itself transforms us, and recognizing that what we seek is often closer than we think. I know some readers find the philosophy too simplistic or New Age-y, but I think that misses the point. Coelho isn't trying to be subtle—he's distilling universal truths into their essence. Sometimes we need straightforward wisdom delivered clearly, especially when we're overthinking our own paths. This edition makes a perfect graduation gift, retirement present, or milestone marker for anyone embarking on something new. The story has earned its place as a modern classic, and this deluxe version does it justice. "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it." Still resonates.

Reading this book was an enlightening experience for me.
Format: Kindle
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho provided hours of magical reading. It isn’t a plot-driven book, but rather a novel that provides a quiet sense of purpose and a deeper understanding of the universe. The period the story takes place isn’t clear, but it begins in Spain. Santiago, a young man, perhaps in his teens, studied to be a priest, but realized what he really wanted to do was to be a shepherd, to move around, see new places. With the blessings of his family, he sets out with his flock of sheep and discovers not only the world, but himself. It soon becomes clear that what he searches for is an alchemist, a person who transforms things for the better. Santiago meets people along the way who teach him many truths, some good, some evil, but each experience leads him closer to life’s true meaning. This novel has an interesting history. “The Foreword” written by the author in 2014 speaks about the interesting path the novel has taken. The book was first published in 1989 in his native Brazil. Only one person bought a copy the first week of its release, then six months later another copy sold to the same person! His publisher cancelled the contract. Another publisher agreed to take the book and gradually had great success. An American read the book and wanted to translate the book from Spanish to English and find a publisher in the United States. It didn’t happen overnight, but the book became a phenomenon, has been translated into more than eighty different languages, and has sold thousands of copies. Paulo Coelho never wavered in his faith in the book because it speaks of his own beliefs: A man sets out on a journey seeking a beautiful or magical place and then realizes the treasure lies within himself. Reading The Alchemist was an enlightening experience for me. I highly recommend it for those who appreciate life’s purpose and who seek wisdom of the universe.

Good book, but I think the ending is a betrayal
Format: Kindle
As I write this I realize that I am talking about a modern classic, one that I must admit I did enjoy reading overall. But that said, I simply didn’t find this book to be as moving a book as I thought I would. The novel tells a simple though interesting tale about a boy’s attempts to search for a treasure revealed to him in multiple dreams. Along the way he encounters many people and situations that enable him to learn and grow spiritually, aided by either his clever and inquisitive mind or the guidance of others who effectively serve as mentors. For the most part, I did like THE ALCHEMIST. I enjoyed the simple style of writing and the stripped-down nature of the tale. We don’t get into the “five senses” kind of environmental description – Coelho’s tale is more of a parable at its heart, and in fact is a story OF the heart and of the mind. I also admired the central character as well: Santiago is not only aptly named, but he is a likable boy full of pleasant good will and a gentle disposition, ready to work and clever when it comes to the things one must do to succeed. He is also brave, and remains positive whether things are going well or they are not, choosing to do the best he can at whatever hand he is dealt by life. Here, however, comes the problem. While I felt that the book worked for a good deal of the story, it weakened a bit toward the end. Part of it was the story’s mumbo-jumbo manner of religiosity; while I understood the author’s decision to tackle his subject in this simple, unadorned manner, it didn’t hold up at times. Certainly, the notion that there is a hidden one-ness at the heart of all matter is a notion that works well through a simplistic style, a la the clean, stripped-down beliefs at the heart of innocents or the way we conceptualize the purity of, say, the Native Americans culture when it came to nature. But when the boy began addressing the wind and other elements (a point I’ll get to further in a moment), it really broke down for me. It stretched credulity, reducing Nature to a kind of repertory theater. I will speak further on this scene in a second. HERE I ONE ASPECT THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED A SPOILER – SKIP THIS PARAGRAPH. What I particularly disliked about THE ALCHEMIST is that I felt it broke its own rules. Again, I’m discussing the ending here, so beware. It bothered me that the ending should have been a point when the boy’s budding spirituality took its hold upon the lad. I ask: why would a person who is in essence learning so much about what really matters about life still keep seeking money? His interest in gold is not the same as the alchemist’s interest in it: the elder character is a man who can manipulate the elements in a near-magical manner, a process he leaves the boy to discover for himself (like when he fact almost comically abandons him to magically “make like the wind” for men who will otherwise kill him – comical because once the alchemist places the boy IN the situation, he simply goes off to play with his birds. And one more thing: while the twist at the end was clever, it disappointed me for two reasons: the first, for point I made above, but the second is trickier. The boy learns that the truth the material treasure HE sought is NOT there; it is, he learns, where the OTHER character says it is. Clever, sure… but is the author telling us the other character’s “information” is more true? Why is that? Was it that the other boy was favored? OR, which is probably more true, is it because whatever force it is that imparts such “wisdom” does so knowing that one boy WILL follow his heart and the other won’t. Think: if the other boy does follow his quest then Santiago’s info is going to be wrong. But IF things are meant to work out the way they actually do, then is Coelho indeed telling us that these actions were predetermined? This sends, I think, the opposite message the author wants to send. THE ALCHEMIST is a book that people will enjoy for its simple values, and the tale of this young boy’s spiritual quest has satisfied many. While I too enjoyed it and liked the boy, I ultimately felt a bit disappointed in what I felt to be a contrived ending. Though I initially liked the twist at the end, the story could have ended on that exact moment and left me happier. As it is, I felt the final portion of the boy’s quest betrayed his AND the author’s intentions, which hurt the novel for me.

Only for real men...
Style: Rough Exfoliation
So much crying here. This is not a luxurious sponge. But if your are a man, this is the hot ticket. Coarse but not like a cheese grater. Holds liquid soap well. Foams well. The elastic strap let's you keep hold of it easily and will reverse over the pad so you can use either side. Leaves your skin pink and fresh... in a manly sort of way. 😉
