EHX Octavix for QOTSA style sound

[StONE_ROdGEr]

Hey guys,
I know JH/QOTSA uses the Fulltone Ultimate Octave pedal to get that nice "Sick Sick Sick"/"Gardenia"/"Regular John" style of sound, and I'd love to get that pedal but its not in production and I dont have a spare £250 to drop on one off ebay or something. So this brings me to my question, can the Electro Harmonix Octavix pedal produce a very similar or same style of effect or sound? Or can anyone recommend an appropriate octave pedal?
Cheers

Eqd hoof reaper works well. Are used ultimate octaves really that high now? I remeber picking one up a few years ago for maybe $125 or so.

Might try for a Nano Pog second hand, no more suggestions?

There are tons of Octave fuzz pedals out there that should get you in the ballpark. Josh's tone has a lot of other things going on that are probably far more important than having the octave up. E.g. Fuzz by itself, dunlop Q-Zone, stone deaf or maestro ep-1 parametric filter etc.

the octavix is pretty weak if you ask me , the nano pog is the shit though for octaves, I go nano pog into a hendrix fuzzface...

The Fulltone Octa-fuzz is great in both settings

I'll look into that one.

I'll look into some of those too. Ive heard of the Q Zone before I think.

Well, I was hoping the Octavix would be just as good for less money, but I guess this is a case of you get what you pay for :')

Thanks for the suggestions guys
