Wire Grind tells us that Woctavia is an octave doubling fuzz effect. It has been designed to recreate the sound of an authentic Tycobrahe Octavia pedal. Here's the story in their own words:

Why octave doubling fuzz?
Octave doubling fuzz is unique among distortion effects. Due to the way the signal is modified, there is a frequency doubling effect. It's fame in the guitar world is most likely due to its use by Jimi Hendrix. The applications of octave doubling fuzz, however, reach far beyond the guitar world.

Octavia pedals exude a rich and very expressive sound. They are highly responsive to playing style, and they function as an extension of the instrument. Very few pedals accomplish this so well. The octavia pedals made by Tycobrahe have long been sought after by musicians, and they have been known to sell at auction for thousands of dollars.

Vintage model

Wire Grind has performed detailed analysis on an authentic Tycobrahe Octavia pedal. We have pinpointed precisely what gives it its unique sound qualities. Rather than a simple full-wave rectifier, the pedal transforms the signal in a dynamic and complex way. The effect is one that can't be recreated by a simple waveshaper. In our effect algorithm, we have had great success duplicating the characteristics of this classic analog pedal.

Enhanced model
In addition to the classic model, we have added a modified processing mode called "Warmth". This mode provides an enhancement of the original effect's tonal qualities. It essentially uses an idealized model, and thereby creates a softer, less buzzy sound.
