Earthquaker Devices Tentacle V2 Analog Octave Up

Known for their quirky-but-useful, premium quality hand made effects pedals, those clever boffins over at EarthQuaker Devices bring you the most simplistic pedal I've ever seen: The Tentacle, an analog Octave-Up pedal which... well, quite literally adds an octave on to your tone.

New and Improved Tentacle V2!

Ripped fresh from the excellent Hoof Reaper fuzz pedal, this standalone Octave unit works perfectly along side your favourite fuzz to unleash an awesome, swelling octave of sound that even the Great Old Ones would be proud of.

Unleash your inner Jimi Hendrix!

The best feature about this pedal, aside from the excellent artwork, is the fact that there are literally no controls to master. None. Whatsoever.

So what's new?

Earthquaker have opted for the same gorgeous artwork as the original pedal, as well as the same all-analog, true-bypass circuitry, but with the Tentacle V2 you have a new flexi-switch (more on that later), and top-mounted jack sockets, allowing you to squeeze the Tentacle V2 onto pretty much any pedalboard with ease.

Flexi-Switch

The only control on the pedal is the all-new V2 flexi-switch, which makes a big improvement on the simple on/off switch found on the original pedal. This switch allows for momentary activation of the effect: simply hold the pedal down with your foot and then release once you want the effect bypassed.

In addition to this, you can also use the switch as a simple On/Off too, like with the original.
