two things -- what are the settings to get the octave up fuzz from the CAF????

and -- my fave octave up fuzz I have heard in a long time has been the Catalinbread Ottava Magus. Well worth a listen and it's only $110....and VERY small......

To get the CAF into octave mode, set the tone around noon or slightly less. Good luck!

I will try that -- I think maybe because I am using such low output pickups, I am not driving it hard enough to make it go a little crazy.....let me play with it some more.

Is it the typical scenario? neck pickup/10th fret up/octavia style stuff????

Ok -- I found it....just SLIGHTLY before 12 o'clock on the "nature" knob.....cool!!!!

there many different subtle settings on the CAF when you get into it..lots of variety with interaction between the nature and fuzz knobs.

I will say the CAF octave setting has been one of the best fuzzes ever to scream thru the mix.
everytime I see a certain sound guy, he always ask,,what about that Candy Ass Fuzz you have. I chuckle and tell him its Apple and hold tight.

I am lucky the CAF came to me -- I was looking perhaps for the PPF, but the CAF was offered by a friend on the other side of FLorida, and I immediately said YES!

Tonight I will be using it a gig, and have it dialed in as my octave fuzz madness sound. It should be GOOD!
