Back in stock as of 12/14!
I pinned this so people can see 👍👍
@@EricHaugenGuitar ♥♥♥
I think it's fair to assume that we all like big screeching guitar sounds.
Indeed!
When "like" becomes a bit rowards obsessional, fuzz can also lead to dependance bu talso leads to all sorts of psychedalic exploration. Why was LSD banned for again ? That led to some freaging awesome music as well !!!! ;-)
@Roughman Tend to agree. Maybe if there were supervised psychedelic "sessions" with qualified professionals, but I don't want random people being able to trip whenever and wherever they want, with potentially dangerous amounts of whatever drug.
I'm pretty sure my wife absolutely hates it...
Yep.
It’s like saying, “Do you like finding day-old fried rice in the fridge at 2 am when you are really stoned?” UH... FN A !!!
lol totally!
Is that Geoff Peterson as your profile pic?
“In your PANTS !”
Even if it sat on the counter for day, equally as happy !!! lol!!!
Eric: Mentions Josh Homme.
Me: I always knew you were a man of taste.
Oh yeah he's fascinating!
There's gonna be some investigations of his motifs coming up here on my channel in not too long....
@@EricHaugenGuitar please do "Gardenia" from Kyuss, insane guitars.
@@EricHaugenGuitar Love to see it
This review: 14 minutes of Eric saying "This won't sound good, though. Oh, wait... that does sound pretty cool". Hahaha
Ha! Proving myself wrong!
Eric said, "just get it," so I just got it. Thanks!
Yes! Every time I switch it on I smile!
this is great, I wish all pedal reviews were just a guy playing with the pedal, feels like you're just enjoying it rather than trying to sell it, but im sold!! haha
I am enjoying it!
You can see how much it surprised me with the wild, searing, fattness!
octave fuzz is magical, i simply love how it can be creamy yet not muddy yet biting yet not harsh
Yeah!
I love a good germanium fuzz face too, but the searing unpredictability of the octave fuzz is so fun to play with!
Hey everybody! Yes, these are sold out world wide, but we're making more! Sign up for our mailing list on our web site, and get notified as soon as these are shipping again. We have a modest backorder list to work through first, then we'll make these generally available again. It should just be a few weeks!
I received one of these today and it blows me away. Bar far the best sounding effect and pedal I own. Sooo good. My neighbors are going to LOVE this thing.
Yeah I've heard that before sir everyone has a price would my daughter's kidney change your mind don't worry she 5 she'll never know it was missing it'll grow bacc
@@veshaw. Just $200 is fine. They're in stock right now. Keep the kidney!
I received one of these today and it blows me away. Bar far the best sounding effect and pedal I own. Sooo good. My neighbors are going to LOVE this thing.
Yay!
So beefy and inspiring!
Dang, that fuzz sound is epic. It's awesome seeing you enjoy this pedal!
Thanks!
You can see how much fun it is! Truly a little box of inspiration - that's exactly what we hope a pedal can do!
You're a great teacher and explainer of guitar, usually I get bored when people explain things, but I find I can watch your videos start to finish with total attention, that's very rare for me!
It would have been so classic if an old lady started banging on that window saying “ turn that fucking thing down”. And a very red eyed Eric just keeps jamming. Great pedal demo. They are sold out now.
hahahaha!
btw the Augustus is sold out on his website, but the dealers still have them: www.russomusic.com/products/dusky-augustus-octave-fuzz-pedal
This might be the most fun I’ve ever seen you have in a video. Loved it. Want some octave fuzz in my life.
Yeah!
Sometimes it's hard to contain the excitement for a new device!
Getting a pink floyd kinda vibe from the first solo ! Loving it my dude !
I thought so too, but TBH I think that's more about Eric's great gilmore-esque bending than it is the octane fuzz ...
Gilmour is forever such a huge influence on my playing - the whole go slow, let the notes bloom thing!
Super eloquent rundown on how to get slammin' tones with octave fuzz, brother! The observations with 4th's 5th's and 3rd's was wicked useful. Just what I needed. 🤙🏽
Thanks Alejandro!
Octave fuzz is so wild - so great for some things, but not everything! Which is the cool part, finding the motifs that pair well with it!
maybe you can play 3ds with a fretless neck
This is amazingly helpful. I have an octave fuzz and have never really understood how to play into it. Until today. Now it's fun.
Watched this several times and kept coming back to it, on the hunt for a good octave fuzz. Lots of decent ones out there, but most with little control over the tone, some have way more control than I can use, some sound much too ring moddy, like they made a dark fuzz and added ring modulation rather than a straight up octave fuzz (whatever that might be, I’m not even sure anymore). TLDR, I love your channel so much anyway, you have excellent taste in solid, straightforward gear that kind of gets out of the way of your playing, and holy cats, your fuzz examples sound so good through this. It was a big duh for me to just get _this_ octave fuzz your friend makes! Thanks so much for your channel! 🤘😌🎸
It really is a great pedal - makes me smile everytime I use it!
"octave fuzz is to fuzz as mushrooms is to weed, the next level" did this man just confirm weed is a gateway drug??😂😂😂 Great video man!
hahahaha TOTALLY!
@Eric Haugen You're such a great guitar player. Such cool licks and feel! Oh and that Fuzzzzzzzzzz
Oh man thanks so much my brother!
I didn’t know that I desperately, physically need an octave fuzz until watching this video. 🤘😃🎸
Lord Eric, I keep coming back to this. Your piece just speaks to my soul, that sound! Well it lights my candle anyway. Thank you.
Yay!
Thanks for the kind words Patrick!
I try to be as real on UA-cam as I am in real life :-)
The glee you see is actual!
Finally got one of these, thanks for the video! Really like some of the ideas and strengths you've highlighted herein.
Raleigh, Represent! Dusky pedals are next on my list. Made here in Durham, N.C.!
I hope everyone is having a great day.
Wealth and Happiness.
We've got so many great tone makers here in NC!
Germino, Carr, Dusky, Swart, Tophat, Alexander - it's bonkers!
The mushroom analogy is fantastic.
I was proud of that one :-)
Wow great intro jam dude! Your friend is very lucky to have someone who can really showcase his pedal!
Thanks man!
That's a redo of a song from my last EP: erichaugen.bandcamp.com/track/serpent
Zvex Fuzz Factory is an endless mine for insane fuzz fun. Octave, fat, ring, velcro, broken radio...all kinds of cracked sustain.. and farts too. Also a good piece to add to any fuzz or dist is the EHX Octave Multiplexer for down octave territories.
Farts? Sold
Oh yeah Zvex stuff is GREAT!
That tone is delightful.
Thanks so much Charlie!
So FAT! Even on my mustang!
Didn't know you were in N.C. as well! I've been running my mustang through a cheapo joyo voodoo octave for a few years now and I've had a lot of fun.
Cool!
I love how with guitar stuff, the affordable stuff is just as much fun as the expensive stuff!
Joyo voodoo octave is underrated
Thanks, Eric. You got me shopping for octave fuzz pedals. I could have gone with something at Guitar Center, but I wanted to support independent craftsmen and bought from Dusky.
Awesome!
Chris is a good guy and you're directly helping him and his family! win - win!
I love that video. The intro solo is just FANTASTIC !
Thanks Fred!
That's from a fuzz-rock EP I put out in 2019: erichaugen.bandcamp.com/track/serpent
@@EricHaugenGuitar cool, i'll check it out.
Wow great track. Your sound on that solo is ace. So filthy it cracked the paint on my walls.
I don’t know how your channel has flown under my radar, but you had me at mushrooms and weed. And a Hiwatt
Check, check, and check!
I love how you love that F. Mustang haha
Oh yeah my trusty old mustang! Been with me FOREVER
Holy hell! That didn’t sound like it’s coming from single coils Sounds.... 70s P90s or humbuckerish Thick and juicy especially when the notes bloom
Right??!!
So fat!!!
Perfect synth-y guitar
One of the best tones I’ve heard in that intro
Thanks Mike!
It's crazy how fat that Mustang, Octave Fuzz, & Hiwatt combo is!
Woah...inspiring. Props again on that plant collection.
Thanks ol' buddy!
The plants are definitely enjoying the newest HQ!
Love it.
Eric, you played it like a Boss !
Thanks Robert!
Man that sounds real cool
Thanks Sean!
So much fun with this pedal
Some nice tasty bends and squeals Eric. Love the sounds you get out of it.
Thanks wilbert!
As you can see, I was having a really good time with that fuzzy
Add a wah with a slow sweep or changing locked positions and some echo and verb. Who needs shrooms? Check out the Frenchies - SLIFT, particularly the title track to UMMON.
Yes! Throw a wah in and that's next galaxy freak out stuff!
Adding SLIFT to my playlist now!
Incredible tones. Thanks for sharing Eric.
My pleasure Lee!
Awesome tone, and love these licks! I've always enjoyed that sound, but didn't know it was octave fuzz that was responsible. I feel like I can hear RHCP songs with this sound for the solos. Maybe "If You Have to Ask." Can't place it right now.
Oh yeah that’s a GREAT solo! Maaaaan that whole record is just 🔥
You’re making me miss my BOSS Hyper Fuzz pedal! I never found a proper use for it, but I know that same laugh hearing whatever noises it made, haha.. What a cool effect!
Also, mushrooms and weed. Yes.
Yeah! The cackle of delight - that's what we hope all our devices do for us!
Hey Eric! Hope your doing well and staying safe my friend. Really enjoyed the video, I just recently started messing with Fuzz, it used to be my least favorite effect but lately I’ve started seeing how versatile it can be - thx for sharing!
Yeah!
Fuzz is weird - you really gotta play to the pedal, see what it does to your sound, and adapt!
that tone is delicious
Out of stock. Must be flying off the shelf after that demo. Great stuff
Yay! I'm so happy for Chris! He's a really good dude who makes solid stuff!
Wow, I just checked all his dealers - it's sold out everywhere! I didn't realize my demo was THAT good!
AWESOME playing
Thanks so much Tom!
Long live the Hairy Fuzz! Ive recently bought the Movall Octopuss and love it from minute one.
Yeah!
Fuzz is such a wild, unpredictable paintbrush - I love how you have to play to it, rather than just click it on and continue as normal.
GREAT DEMO DUDE
Of all many pedals I don’t have an octave fuzz. Big fuzz fan though. Not sure how it sounds with octave fuzz but I love being up on higher notes, bending one string up to unison of other string and then moving it out of unison. Total chaos 🤘🏾🖤
Yes! The CHAOS!
Feels good to summon chaos rather than live in like we all do hahahaha
I'll buy that initial comparison. Ya could use fuzz everyday, but it's better to have clean days. Octave fuzz is for select occasions that should be pre-planned. This video gave me an excuse to have the singer/other guitarist in my band send me my octave fuzz pedal (and Key9 pedal), that he borrowed since before Covid started and band practice ended in March.
Yesss!
Octave fuzz is quite an intense trip! Still controllable, but not for everyday :-)
Very helpful video! The octive fuzz is definitely very unique and needs to be played that way. I have a Danoelectric 3699 Foxx Octave Fuzz, so much you can do if know how.
That jam at the start was killer dude.
Thanks man!
It's actually a redo of a solo from my EP: erichaugen.bandcamp.com/track/serpent
4:11 sounds like the start of the walk solo
Sure does lmao.
Great teaching
Thanks man!
I NEED to know more about these years as lead in a psychedelic rock band.
Do you have lessons on that?
That would be a good candidate for a Netflix pilot....
Oh the floors I've slept on......
Ha! Not exactly - but that experience definitely taught me a lot!
@@EricHaugenGuitar we want to know about the shows but also about the mushrooms themselves and the associated mood/trip!!! Definitely a trip down memory lane for me !!!
“Worth $200 alone.” 😂 Love it! I’d have to agree. Fantastic video! Thanks. Also, nice rig you have there!
You still have the best tone on UA-cam!
Thanks man!
This is the first one in the new HQ - this room is sounding FAT!
you sure look like a guy who knows a lot about the correlation between weed and mushrooms
Guilty!
@@EricHaugenGuitar 😂😂
awesome video tho, been looking at that octave fuzz for a while, really want it
not that I now a lot about electronics, but DIYin some pedals myself, and spending lots of times (mostly when lacking money for parts, like, almost all the time) reading about some gear and how they sound the way they sound, I've figured out that octave fuzz pedals like the Green Ringer, the Univox SuperFuzz and some encarnations of the Roger Mayer Octavia (not the early version, as Roger Mayer claims Tychobrahe copied), all of them work by having a fuzz (first) stage, followed by another transistor working as a phase splitter, that then are merged together again. That transistor in phase splitter mode kinda does what the "cathodyne" does in the 5e3 Tweed Deluxe amps, it split the signal in two (in case of the 5e3, it is a push pull amp, and the two halves of the signal goes to each of the 2 output tubes), but some of these cathodyne amps are know to have a nasty blocking distortion when cranked, because something happens on the phase splitter. those falty cathodynes Tweed Deluxes are like having a Superfuzz amp in a way. then, there's the Tychobrahe (and the early Roger Mayer octavia) that works by having a transformer instead of the transistor phase splitter, and from the transformer, each signal halve goes into a diode that rectifies and double the frequency (if you build a power suply, with let's say a 9 - 0 -9 vac transformer, and put it through a 4 diode full wave rectifier, you'll figure out you'll get 18vdc... that's what transformers with a center tap into rectifier do. don't ask me how they do it, the physics of it, because I still don't know, I learn by practicing). I've read somewhere that the transformer messes with the voltage (kinda sags), so, Tychobrahes "swell and bloom" may have to do with that. Anyway, sorry for the long comment, if someday someone who really knows electronics read it, I hope they point me if I'm on the right track with that, or it was a long bullshit comment
I recall walking through the Melhorn's north pasture in Defuniak Springs, FL seeking saprophyta among the bovine ejecta in 1973. A whole different heavy metal experience: Brew, drink, puke, stare, stumble, repeat.
This comment reads like a poem!
Love it!
sounds great
Thanks Jasen!
It's amazing how FAT that pedal is!
@@EricHaugenGuitar Have you ever tried an octave effect on vocals? Do you sing? You know Clapton got stuck in a country (some passport work visa thing?) - anyway this other guitar player guy asked him - why don't you sing? Eric Clapton is great before he sings - but once he got going some cool tunes came out.
Jesus H Christ Eric! Please, I’m recovering from my GAS here!!! 😛 what a glorious sound! “Mushrooms🍄 to weed 😗💨” Eric ->🐐
hahahaha I'm the worst GAS enabler!
do it do it do it You only live once!
The mushroom comparaison is just tooo funny !!! Eric is really good at pedagogy and definitely knows how to explan in laymen terms !!! lol !!!
Getting a Fu Manchu vibe of it. Great playing and great tone.
Thanks man!
I love all that Kyuss/Fu Manchu/QOTSA desert rock!
Yeah, Eric. That's a bloomin' burner of some timbre. What was the psyche rock outfit you played in?
Quite a few now that I think of it!
That opening jam is actually from my EP: erichaugen.bandcamp.com/track/serpent
When you went into Josh Homme land, it was just so perfect. Please do some videos on his style!
Oh yeah! I've been ruminating of him for a few weeks now - there's some really unique stuff that he does, chordally and melodically.
@@EricHaugenGuitar I second that - dive more into those weird scales!
In opening,,,that tone ,,,wow
I chortle with excitement along with your cackle of delight!
yessssss yessssss (wrings hands menacingly)
@@EricHaugenGuitar 😂🤣😂
Gosh man it makes me want to take the road with a Stoner trio ... love that pedal.
Exactly!
Chris did a great job of making sure the fuzz keeps all the bass that you need - it doesn't thin out at all!
Nice psilocybin analogy too. Play on!
This is so aesthetic
Thanks Brandon!
If I had the money/crew all my videos would look like Wes Anderson movies!
Yo that sounded sick af
Thanks duders!
Sounds EPIC!
Thanks man!
The "sound" that a fuzz does on the attack of the string being picked is so awesome (what Eric refers to at 10:47, my apologies ; I do not know to paste a hyperlink that points to the exact section of the song, if somebody can tell me, I'd surely appreciate).
Some songs come out really nice with a fuzz. Sunshine of your love, No TIme left you by the Guess Who, and any lead/melodyat the 12th freth using the neck pagic just makes me really happy !!! Eric, thanks a lot for your usual inspiring phasing. THANK YOU!!! :=) -dan
Yeah! Fuzz is such a unique tool!
Very unpredictable, but very powerful!
Love that tone!!!!
Thanks Nathan!
The combination of old mustang, octave fuzz, and Hiwatt worked so well!
@@EricHaugenGuitar wish I could find one of these pedals, but they are scarce right now. I'm definitely pining for a vintage Mustang too 🤣
That' one cool and perfectly executed solo.
Thanks buddy!
It's actually from an instrumental track from my last EP: erichaugen.bandcamp.com/track/serpent
@@EricHaugenGuitar Yeah. I got it as soon as it came out thru Bandcamp.
Yay! Thanks so much man!
The new record is gonna be a somewhat chiller, vibey response to the big guitars of that last one
@@EricHaugenGuitar Waiting for it.
Your "guitar face" is on point!
I can't control it!
Check out what you can do with E barre chord arpeggios (F-shape?) with sus-4s on the high strings around the 7th -12th frets with an octave fuzz. Chimy clanging tintinabulations.
ooooh yeah! especially if you chop up the picking! Good call Josh!
I found the octave dive bomb thing by accident on a home made fuzz a while ago and just assumed something had gone wrong in the wiring, so it's nice to know I'm not a total hack and that it is kinda normal
Yeah! I don't know exactly why it happens but some overdrives do it too!
Sound awesome!
Thanks man!
Good stuff! I cut my teeth on a silicon FuzzFace clone (Mooer Grey Faze) and then built my own germanium-based clone last year. Really happy with my DIY pedal, especially the sustain it adds. I included a bias control (ala Analogman Sunface) that lets me dial in a fat, tad spitty sound or a smoother, overdrive-like sound. I labeled it "Old School Fuzz". Right now, I'm putting the finishing touches on a DIY Fuzzrite clone (think In-a-gadda-da-vida) that I'm labeling "Psych Fuzz".
I'm jealous!
I'm too shitty at soldering to do much more than a speaker swap. I always thought I'd like build my own amps and pedals, but I don't think that really a skill I have.
@@EricHaugenGuitar It's a fun pastime, but sometimes I wonder if my time would be better spent on practicing... lol.
Spaceman Nebula on a Rivolta Mondata Baritone. YUM YUM
Dawg this shit sounded crazy, I gotta make a whole new playlist with just shit like this now
Great video, great playing (as always) and great pedal. Also, you’re so high.
I feel seen! hahahaha
Naw, I don't film these vids high - my eyes would be so friggin' red.
Ok, maybe it’s just pedal-giddiness: the uncontrolled laughter, the extatic expressions, the uninhibited creativity, the childish happiness... probably better than most drugs. By the way, I love your videos. Cheers!
I'm kinda perma-stoned. Even in college, I remember my professors thinking I was high all the time because I'm so damn goofy and out of it.
That stop bend fits right a Mudhoney kinda vibe
I built a green ringer clone. They are like this but raunchier. Green ringer doesn’t have distortion built in so you get to match it with any type of distortion device you want
Oooh I'll have to try one of those!
Always killer Tone !
Thanks Kent!
Love it
this is awesome
Thanks Sam!
Jesus this guy is great
Aww shucks thanks Bryan!
I like it as I do breathing air.
Own far, far too many. Current fave is the VOX Trike. -1, -2, +1 Octaves and awesome Fuzz tone.
It is to mushrooms as molly is to mda.
Source Audio multiwave is my fave octave fuzz.
ooh I've never had the pleasure of playing that one!
@@geraldfriend256 Is that available via the Neuro Community? I have an LA Lady
3rd video I've seen in the last few days about octave fuzz. I think someone's trying to tell me something...
That someone is the UA-cam algorithm 🤖
it KNOWS, Andrew! it KNOWS!
Not for every song, but man - when the tune calls for it, octave fuzz will tear a track up!
I love using the neck pickup and ditching the tone knob all the way to bring out the octave to the max.
Ooooh I gotta try that!
You had me at shrooms
so necessary - everybody should do them at least once in their life.
0:26 that bend up on the "e" string and back down on the B is salty A.F. Which I could pull that off but I get finger interference on the way down. Tried this one a lot.
Josh Homme calls it the "Hey duuuude" trick! He talks about it in his guitar moves episode :-)
@@EricHaugenGuitar Yeah, saw it. He doesn't nail it like you do.
I talk about it in this one: ua-cam.com/video/Skb2o5XNzyk/v-deo.html
and he makes a cameo here too: ua-cam.com/video/WoPTqMTk5JU/v-deo.html
It's not easy!
That beginning Jam sounds so David Gilmour lord it’s glorious
Thanks Brendan!
Those big crying bends - that to me is forever the Gilmour thing
Wow!
6ths actually sound pretty fucking sick! Now I need an Octavia or something.
