Roger Mayer Octavia w/o Octave?

[squirrels]

Is anyone aware of a way (if possible) to make the octave in the Roger Mayer Octavia switchable. I’m really liking what I’m hearing of the Band of Gypsys Fuzz Face and I already have an Octavia built so I was wondering if it was possible.

The schematic is on the fifth post.

Try lifting the Anode of D2 from the signal. EDIT: Sorry, I meant the signal from the Cathode of D2, lift the Cathode end from the board.

Thanks for the tip but it didn’t really change much. It gives me an excuse to build the Band Of Gypsys Fuzz Face though.

You can do that with the tycobrah Octavia . It’s got a transformer but it’s a fantastic fuzz on its own and they have the layout on the main site !

Use a switch to simultaneously short D1 and break D2 or vice-versa.
