Do you wave any advice as to which Octaver?

[frankus]

Hi there,

I've posted a few times and lurked for a longer time thought I'd get around to asking a question.

I've recently built a Neoctavia - which I like for it's octaving - I swapped the gain control for a 100k so I get more control around the levels I like.

The only thing I have found is that the octaves don't seem to work above the 11th fret on the first string. Does anyone know if this is a known issue with this design ... or there's a mod (I guess changing a capacitor somewhere) or if there's a "definitive" octaver I should be looking to make?

Any insights or advice would be welcome

  Green Ringer simple, no knobber does Octave and wierd-octa-fuzz tones with pre or post Fuzz-or, [standing alone it makes ghosty-wierd sounds] for me [with a FF, Dist+, boosters, etc. helping], this offers pretty good flexibility of Fuzz/some Octave, does the wierd/fuzz/octave thing I find easy to use in various 'chain' scenario's. I find it's need for 'something' on it makes it easy for me to transition from fuzz to fuzz/octave with 1 switch [leaving a distorter on, adding the octave].
  FTM produces strong, wide frequency range octave tones.
  Tycho, using a transformer, gets wierd-ringer-octave-shifty tones, can be made as a Fuzz or Fuzzoctave with simple switch to bypass the transformer/diodes.
  For more pronounced octave from any of the above, try the neck pickup with the volume rolled back from 10.
  There are many octave circuits...
