Captain Coconut 2 Owner's Manual

The OCTAVE section of Captain Coconut is based on the Tycobrahe Octavia,

which was produced in the early 1970s. The Tycobrahe Octavia was mod-

eled after an early "Octavio" prototype that Hendrix used. The combination

of a fuzz circuit, an audio transformer and a pair of matched germanium

diodes results in an octave effect that is unlike any pitch shifter or octave

divider. By playing two notes at once, you can get some wild ring modulator

type sounds, and with the right settings and playing style, you can get a

sweet upper octave sound that jumps out on the higher notes.

The effect is very dynamic and can take some time to master. For the best results, use

your neck pickup and roll back the guitar's volume control to around 80%. Turn the

DRIVE control all the way down.

If you use the Octave effect through a clean amp, you'll

notice that it's very bright and can be quite shrill sounding. In the right context, this

can sound great, but for the best sounds it's good to add the warmth and character

of an overdriven tube amp. Try setting up some overdrive after the Octave, either with

an overdrive pedal or in your amp's front end. Also, it helps to set your amp up for a

dark tone, not bright. With the right settings, the shrillness of the Octave effect gets

converted into a singing upper octave fuzz sound that is very smooth and can take on

a life of its own. Delay and reverb effects sound great with the Octave.

The Octave effect can get a little unruly when used with the

FuzzFoot, or any other fuzz. If you switch on the Octave and the FuzzFoot at the same

time in the default order (Octave>FuzzFoot), you may notice that it "sputters" a little

when you pick, no matter how you set the GRIT control on the Fuzz. Try turning the

volume on your guitar down a little and you'll notice that it smoothes out beautifully.

If you patch the Octave effect so that it comes after the FuzzFoot (FuzzFoot>Octave),

you may notice that the sound thins out and drops in level when you pick notes.

Through a clean amp, this doesn't sound so good, but when you add some overdrive

you will notice that the sound fattens back up and you get a great mix of upper

octave and the straight note you're playing. Be careful about maxing out the DRIVE

and VOLUME controls, under certain conditions these effects (when used together)

can cause oscillation. Be careful when using high gain settings.

Drive: Go from flute-like octave tones to all-out hell fuzz. Sounds best all the way

down, unless you're looking for some very aggressive fuzz sounds.

Volume: Unity gain is around 70%. There is plenty of available boost
