Tom, I thought you hated octave fuzz?

It is true that I haven’t gotten along with octave fuzz in the past, but things changed a couple of years ago.  In a video on Instagram I saw that Sarah Lipstate was using a vintage Univox Superfuzz with Iggy Pop.  It looked and sounded killer and I had to try one out for myself.  Some internet research showed that the Univox Superfuzz is the same as the Shin Ei FY-6, and I already own a Wattson FY-6 reproduction.  So I started messing around with it and grew to love its thorny and raspy nature.  Around the same time I also started to get really into the fOXX Tone Machine that a friend lent to me.

As I played these fuzzes more and more I wished there was a way to get the “hint of octave” swizzle of the Superfuzz as well as the all-out octave-up harmonic of the Tone Machine.  I also really like the Tone Machine’s base fuzz tonality and texture with the octave switch off.  Was there a way to get it all in one box?

The answer for me were the fOXX Tone Machine transistors.  I bought a batch of modern PN3565’s and immediately the base tone flavor of the fOXX was right there.  Okay, how to get the octave up?  This part is long and convoluted and involves a Lynchian dream as well as inspiration from my son’s poetry school assignment.  Let’s cut to chase so that people don’t think I’m insane:  After many dead-ends and borrowed gear I realized that a piggy-backed NPN/PNP push-pull transistor configuration should work in the circuit, was it really that easy?  Not really.

After MUCH experimenting I finally did find a way to make it smoothly transition from No Octave to Hella Octave.  This was accomplished by changing the bias of both of the piggy-backed transistors in real-time.  Turning the Scramble control from counter-clockwise to clockwise takes the Octina on a journey from raw fOXX Tone Machine fuzz, to Fuzzrite, to Superfuzz, to pure Tone Machine octave up.  As well as many interesting stops in-between.


One of those stops, right around 2:00 on the Scramble control causes the Octina to go a little unstable, and feedback is lurking behind every note.  In a few prototypes I dialed it-out and made it more behaved.  But the more I played with this instability the more I liked it.  So I decided to leave it in, just beware that ~2:00 on Scramble can get loosey-goosey.

Speaking of noise, the Octina is a tiny bit noisier than most of my previous designs, but that is the price you pay for all of those increased upper harmonics and transistor abuse.  Some of my favorite settings are in the 10:00 to 12:00 range of the Scramble, especially where you get octave swizzles moving through chords.  It creates really cool movement on sustained chord stabs.  Also it responds really well to guitar tone knob and pickups changes.  Flipping to the neck pickup, or turning down the tone on the bridge, really emphasizes the octave up harmonics, much like an Octavia.  Lots of fun!

The 3-way Texture Toggle switches in/out diodes in this configuration:

  1. 80n Asymmetrical Diode Network
  2. Blower (Straight PN3565 Transistors)
  3. 1N4148 Silicon Diodes

These diode/no diode selections change both the character of the fuzz as well as the octave emphasis, so be sure to experiment.

Sorry I know this is basically a novel, but the Octina has been brewing for a few years now and there's a lot to say.

work well + good value for the pack
Finally got a chance to try these recently. They're exactly like the ones I already had, that I paid a little more for. I think these are a good value and work pretty well - not as well as the better beauty store razors, but better than like dollar tree or something. I like the size of the handle. I consider them disposable, especially if you're using with a hair identifying powder spray or oil.

A Year of Easy Smoothness
I love that this set comes with 12 razors, giving me a full year of monthly replacements. The handle feels solid and comfortable to hold, and the different sizes are handy for both facial and eyebrow use. They glide smoothly and exfoliate gently without irritating my skin. My only minor complaint is that the blades aren’t as sharp as I expected, so I have to go over an area a few times to remove all the peach fuzz. Still, for the price and convenience, it’s great value for the money and makes skincare feel fresh and polished.

Love that they come in a plastic container
I prefer this brand of razors because they don’t have the line sections on the blade. They are very sharp! Be careful. I love how sharp it is because I don’t need to do double passing on my face, and I can be as light as a feather with it and know it’ll still work. It did not cause any skin irritation, and was great at removing the dead skin cells off the top layer of my face.

Terrific!
While less well known than his later biographies of George Washington and Alexander Hamilton, this book stands equal to them. Rather than a biography of a single man this is the biography of a most extraordinary family and their impact on banking and the history of the twentieth century. This is a terrific book and one that I recommend without reservation. Chernow tells a very complex story in the tradition of a great novelist, without sacrificing any of the historical details that define the picture of a family whose story mirrors the triumphs and tragedies of the 20th century. The book traces the history of the Warburg family from the 16th century to the 1990's, with the emphasis on the 20th century. The story is told through the biographies of many of its members, focusing on the brothers Aby, Max, Paul, Felix and Fritz, their sons and nephews. Individual chapters cover individuals, interwoven and progressing through the 20th century. There is the scholarly eldest brother, Aby, who exchanged his birthright for the promise of being provided all the books he desired (and created one of the world's greatest private libraries), the next eldest brother Max who autocratically ran the familie's Hamburg bank, the next brother Paul who made his mark in the US (providing the banking expertise behind his idea for the US Federal Reserve System), Felix who also made his mark in the US (both as a banker, but even more so as a philanthropist) and on to the youngest Fritz who served in both the Prussian and American Armies, and eventually fought to revive the Warburg position as preeminent Hamburg bankers. The book follows these brothers and their nephew Sigmund who made his mark in the US, in Great Britain (becoming Sir Sigmund) and in Europe after WWII. The book also discusses the sons of these brothers, their wives and other relatives. Fortunately, there are several pages of genealogy charts which help in keeping all the relationships between family member straight and many photographs that help flesh out the many stories that are discussed. Were the book just about the history of the family members it would have been very good, but it is about much more. The book is about the turmoil of 20th century Germany, about how this family suffered and recovered. It is about family members who were loyal to their adopted homes in the US and Great Britain, but still, before the 1930's, had strong emotional ties to Germany. It tries to explain how some in the family still had warm feeling for Germany, in spite of what happened to them in the 1930's. It is about how Fritz left his comfortable life in the US to return to Germany to reestablish their stolen Hamburg bank, but also to serve as a bridge between Germany and the rest of the post-WWII world. It is about strong men with sons who often failed to live up to their high expectations. It is about loyalty, deceit, struggle, success and failure. It is a cautionary tail about the evolution of 20th century politics and war, as well as about banking. In short this is a terrific book.

I wish it had been done better
I imagine I'm going to get unhelpful votes by saying this, but this biography was not up to par with the author's other biographies. I've read Titan, which I thought was great, House of Morgan, which was really good, and Hamilton, which was also good, and this book just isn't up to those other books. The beginning was very frustrating because we learn about this supposedly very successful and widely acclaimed and established German banking family, yet there is practically nothing concerning how they got to be well known and exceedingly wealthy, nor what their business dealings were at the time. And this lack of information goes on and on, focusing almost to exclusion on inter-personal issues. Looking up the Warburgs in Wikipedia, I learned that the family had been a very successful banking family from the 1600's back in Venice, even before they settled in Warburg, Germany. Starting the narrative in the mid to late 1800's with the success of Jews in what was to become Germany just left me hanging and feeling like I was missing a large part of who the Warburgs were and how they got that way. Additionally, the family had been around for a very long time and there are scattered references to visiting or staying with uncles and aunts, but the overall breadth of the family is not addressed. Thinking about his problem now, it almost would make more sense and read better if there was a short intro and perhaps 10 separate bios on separate family members, instead of skipping around. It would help the flow. I have a feeling the author's inability to read German or Swedish or other European languages and his lack of primary research in Europe, where the Warburgs achieved fame and fortune, contributed to this incomplete biography. On the other hand, it appears that not much had been written on the Warburgs prior to this book (at least in English), and that is why I read the book. Additionally, the whole build up to the Holocaust and how the Warburgs kept their warm feelings for Germany throughout the experience, as a constant theme, was very interesting and well done, especially since I'm Jewish. The reading got more focused and poignant the closer the Holocaust got and immediately afterwards. 3 or 3.5 stars is probably the best score, but will upgrade so I don't get canned too badly. If you're interested in the Warburg it's a good starter book, though I imagine if this weren't one of the first books Chernow wrote, he would have done a better job as a more mature and accomplished biographer.
