How to get a octave & pitch tone — and 12 famous songs that use it, each with researched amp settings and gear you can adapt to your rig.
Octave and pitch effects stack a note above or below your signal. An octave-fuzz (Octavia) gives the screaming Hendrix lead on "Purple Haze"; a clean octave-up adds sparkle; a Whammy dives for divebombs. Track single notes (not chords) for the cleanest pitch tracking.
Famous songs that use octave & pitch include Floods by Pantera, Bound for the Floor by Local H, Killing in the Name by Rage Against the Machine, Silvera by Gojira, Stranded by Gojira, L'Enfant Sauvage by Gojira — and 12 tones on this page have researched settings you can adapt to your own rig.
