Introducing the
Marsling Octafuzzdrive
– a pedal as
distinctive as its sound.
The Beings at IAM take a
modern spin on the
discontinued '70s era
fOXX, enhanced with two
interstellar
modifications. First, the
octave-up effect is now
at your feet, offering
on-the-fly versatility
with a footswitch.
Additionally, a tone
control toggle switch has
been incorporated,
empowering players to
select from three unique
tonal profiles. The
Marsling stands out as
the epitome of
versatility within the
Interstellar galaxy. The
Marsling Octafuzzdrive is
a recreation of the fOXX
Tone Machine, first
released in 1971 and
discontinued in 1978. The
Tone Machine is a thick
fuzz that uses a phase
spliter and complementary
rectifier to create an
octave overtone. The Tone
Machine has a lot in
common with the Fender
Blender, but with a more
pronounced octave and
smoother tone, as well as
the ability to disable
the octave by turning off
half of the phase
splitter. And the tone is
not unlike the Superfuzz,
although it uses a
different method of
octave generation to get
there. The Marsling is
faithful to the original,
but with two added
modifications. First, the
octave switch for octave
up is on a footswitch for
on and off capabilities
instead of a toggle
switch. The second
modification is the tone
control. The tone control
of the original is
somewhat similar to the
Big Muff, but many people
find it's difficult to
get good sounds from the
treble side of the
rotation. By increasing
the value of the
treble-side tone
capacitor, it improves
the usability. A switch
has been added to let you
choose between two
different capacitors in
addition to the
original.
