EarthQuaker Devices Tentacle — analog octave-up pedal

EarthQuaker Devices Tentacle adds an upper octave using the analog circuit from the Hoof Reaper octave section. With no knobs to adjust, it offers straightforward footswitch operation for use on its own or alongside fuzz and other effects.

For a more pronounced octave, the manufacturer recommends the neck pickup and playing above the 12th fret. This model is no longer in production.
