The Ottava Magus II adds a new Saturation control, which alters the playing feel for a more saturated, spongy feel. It also adds some more gain, giving you, in the words of Catalinbread, "those 'Holy crap - mah amp is fixin' to 'splode' sounds."
Catalinbread has also refined the Intensity control for better control over the useable range of sounds, and altered the original circuit to sound more appealing plugged into a clean amp. Catalinbread says it will have a little more meat, a little less rasp and even more articulate octave up sound.
Says Catalinbread, "Don’t let these changes worry you! We left all the original’s good stuff alone! No glitching out when your signal starts to decay, and you can still use any pickup you wish and play anywhere on the neck you want."
The pedal will be available Monday, December 21. MSRP: $179.
