Description

The Tentacle V2 by EarthQuaker Devices is a simple, no knobs stomp-box for a classic octave up effect.

Found in the Hoof Reaper pedal, this effect has been so popular they’ve decided to put it in its own case. 

Simple and pretty

With one click you can flick on a beautiful, swelling octave to make your riffs really stand out on stage or within a mix. 
Holding down on the switch will give you momentary use of this dynamic pedal. Step off and the effect will be bypassed.

Easy to use

The new V2 Flexi Switching EarthQuaker Devices have conjured up allow for smooth changes, true bypass and an all analogue signal. 
Top-mounted jacks across the range means you can fit this pedal into your board without the hassle of making room.  

Here's what Earthquaker say about the Tentacle Octave Pedal

Analog Octave Up

The Tentacle V2 is a classic analog octave up effect. It is the very same octave from our beloved Hoof Reaper pedal. We got so many requests to make this a stand-alone unit that we just had to make it a reality  and now you can now add an excellent, swelling octave up to anything your heart desires!

Now, with the new V2 Flexi-Switch you can momentarily trigger this amazing octave, enabling you to make certain melodies and riffs stand out as you suddenly drench them in the dynamic stinging and synth-like tones of the Tentacle. For standard latching operation, tap the footswitch once to activate the effect and then tap again to bypass. For momentary operation, hold the footswitch down for as long as you’d like to use the effect. Once you release the switch the effect will be bypassed.

Octave

An octave pedal shifts your guitar signal up or down by one or more octaves, blending the altered pitch with your original sound to create a fuller, more complex tone. It can add a deep, bass-like layer underneath your playing or a shimmering high octave on top for lead lines and solos. Classic analogue octave pedals often produce slightly gritty, organic sounds, while modern digital versions track more precisely and can offer multiple octave ranges.

Octave pedals are great for thickening single-note riffs, creating synth-style textures, or even mimicking bass parts when playing alone. They pair well with fuzz or overdrive pedals for massive, harmonically rich tones. Whether you’re after vintage Hendrix-style octave fuzz or a modern polyphonic sound that tracks chords cleanly, an octave pedal opens up a world of creative possibilities and adds real weight and character to your tone.
