Introduction There’s just something about an Octaver that separates the men from the boys when slinging a six-string (or seven-string). Get your guitar sound another rung up the ladder with an effect that is bold and a bit on the psychedelic side. Rocktron’s Reaction Series pedals are built into a rugged metal slim form factor chassis, taking up as little space as possible on your pedalboard.
Introduction continued...... If you’re looking for that low down gritty Octave effect, you’ll love the Reaction Octaver. Experimenting with the HIGH FILTER, LOW FILTER and BLEND controls to find anything between an octave down effect to a quasi ring modulator effect is crazy fun…and true bypass too! The footswitch on the Reaction Octaver controls On/Off status as shown by the LED indicator.
