Here's what MXR say about the Sub Octave Fuzz:
The Sub Octave Bass Fuzz dishes out thunderous low end with earth-shaking fuzz. To create this sonic behemoth, MXR’s engineers combined the Growl section of the Bass Octave Deluxe with a long-forgotten fuzz circuit. With three separate output level controls for the fuzz, sub octave, and dry signals, you can create your own recipe of subterranean tones without sacrificing any of your instrument’s natural sound. Further versatility comes in the form of the fuzz section’s tone controls and two switchable voices—warm and compressed or bright and aggressive—along with the Mid Level
control, which allows you to give your dry signal some more punch in the midrange.
- Combines two switchable fuzz flavors with a growling sub octave signal
- Separate Dry volume control ensures clean low end retention
- Bass and Treble controls allow you to fine-tune your fuzz signal
- Mid Level control allows you to boost your clean midrange to cut through the mix

MXR is a renowned American effects pedal brand, founded in 1972, that has earned a reputation for its reliable, high-quality products with a focus on simplicity and performance. Known for their iconic compact designs, MXR pedals have become staples on pedalboards across genres. Popular models like the Phase 90, Dyna Comp, and Distortion+ have been integral to the sounds of rock, punk, and beyond. With a commitment to durability and tone, MXR continues to innovate, offering a wide range of pedals, from overdrives and delays to modulation and loopers.
Bass
In the realm of guitar effects, “bass” pedals are designed specifically for bass guitars, enhancing their low-end frequencies and allowing bassists to shape their tone and explore new sonic possibilities. These pedals cater to the unique characteristics of the bass guitar and provide various effects to modify its sound. For instance, overdrive and distortion pedals add gain and saturation, giving the bass a gritty or distorted tone. Compression pedals help even out dynamics by smoothing out the volume of loud and soft notes, resulting in a consistent and punchy sound. EQ pedals enable bassists to sculpt their tone by boosting or cutting specific frequencies, allowing them to emphasize certain parts of the sound or compensate for room acoustics.
Other popular bass effects include envelope filters, which produce dynamic filter sweeps in response to playing dynamics, adding rhythmic groove to bass lines. Octave pedals generate harmonies one or two octaves below the original note, creating a fuller and more powerful sound. Modulation effects like chorus, flanger, and phaser add depth and movement by modulating the pitch or phase, creating swirling textures and enhancing the overall presence of the bass line. Lastly, delay and reverb pedals introduce ambience and spatial depth, adding echoes and reflections that enhance the sense of space in music. These diverse effects allow bassists to expand their sonic palette and express their creativity in numerous ways.
Fuzz
Fuzz is a type of guitar effect that distorts the signal in a more extreme and saturated way than typical overdrive or distortion pedals. It creates a thick, woolly tone with a characteristic “fuzzy” sound, often associated with the classic rock and psychedelic eras. Fuzz pedals work by clipping the waveform of the signal at a much higher level, resulting in a crunchy, sometimes harsh sound that has a distinctive bite and sustain.
Fuzz pedals can vary in intensity and tone, with some offering more subtle, warm fuzz and others creating a more aggressive, raspy sound. The controls typically include fuzz, tone, and volume, allowing players to shape the effect to suit their preferences. Classic fuzz pedals like the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi and the Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face have become iconic for their bold, powerful sound, making fuzz a staple for genres like rock, stoner metal, and experimental music.

Octave
An octave pedal shifts the pitch of the guitar signal up or down by one or more octaves, adding depth, thickness, or a synth-like quality to the sound. Some pedals generate a sub-octave for a deep, bass-like effect, while others create upper octaves for a sharp, organ-like tone. Many modern octave pedals allow multiple octave layers and polyphonic tracking, enabling chords as well as single-note riffs. Octave effects are popular in genres ranging from rock and blues to funk and experimental music. Well-known octave pedals include the Boss OC-5, Electro-Harmonix POG series, and MXR Blue Box, offering a range of classic and modern octave-shifting tones.
SUB
A sub effect, often referred to as a sub-octave, adds a lower-pitched signal beneath the original guitar tone, usually one or two octaves down. This creates a thicker, bass-heavy sound, making it especially useful for adding depth to riffs, solos, or even replacing a bass guitar in certain settings. Sub effects are commonly found in octave pedals and synth-style effects, with some offering multiple layers of octaves for an even bigger sound. They are widely used in rock, funk, and experimental music. Popular sub pedals include the Electro-Harmonix POG series, MXR Sub Octave Bass Fuzz, and Boss OC-5, all of which allow guitarists to achieve deep, earth-shaking tones.
