The pedal’s standout feature is the ‘Octapulse’, a novel element that ingeniously merges tremolo and vibrato effects.
This comes with a tap tempo option and a variety of built-in subdivisions, as well as the capability to input custom-tapped patterns. This level of customization ensures that the pedal can accurately track and enhance even the most complex time signature-skewed riffs.

Its versatile gain control ranges from subtle distortion to intense fuzz, complemented by a tone control for high or low pass filters and a clean blend option for clearer note definition.
Octapulse tremolo

Particularly intriguing are the two final modes, featuring a standard division Octapulse tremolo with momentary control and a custom division option for user-defined subdivisions. These features are especially appealing to a wide range of guitarists, from shoegaze enthusiasts to prog-metal fans.
