ADDITIONAL FEATURES:

MULTI-MODE OUTPUTS / HARD WIRE BYPASS : The Vision Octavia has a true hard wire output plus two buffered outputs that can drive long cable lengths with no high frequency loss. These buffered outputs are disconnected when the hard wire output is being used. This feature is unique and means that all possible situations are catered for whether you want a true hard wire output or you need the advantages of buffered outputs.

Mode 1:There is no jack plug inserted into the Hard Wire Output ( HW OUT1 ). The input of the buffer is connected through switching contacts on this jack socket (HW OUT1) to the foot switching output ( "full bypass" or "effect" ) and the two buffer outputs ( BF OUT2 ) and ( BF OUT3 ) will thus follow the foot switching action. In this "bypass mode" however the input of the buffer is only connected to the Input jack socket of the unit and not to the Octavia circuit as well so it can be thought of as "full bypass buffered".

Mode 2: When a jack is inserted into the Hard Wire Output (HW OUT1). The input of the buffer is disconnected and no output signal will appear at the two buffered outputs. The Hard Wire Output ( HW OUT1 ) will follow the foot switching output ( "full bypass" or "effect" ). In this "bypass mode" the Hard Wire Output ( HW OUT1 ) is directly connected to the Input jack socket and to nothing else in the unit and is in "full bypass" - "true bypass" or "hard wire bypass" mode as the input is directly connected to the output through the foot switch and to nothing else.

TONE CONTROL: A very effective tone circuit has been added between the drive and octave stages to give control of the harmonics of the signal. This give much added flexibility of setting the tone colour required. The original Octavia tone is of course preserved but in the studio with Jimi we used to have various EQ's and drivers to help our Octavia blend and this new feature goes a long way to help you achieve your own perfect blend.

LED: An LED shows the status of the effect. The LED also shows a low battery condition and will fail to light in either status thus showing that battery replacement is required.

RAPID BATTERY CHANGE: No more screws to loose!.. Slide the front panel back and there is the battery. It could not be simpler or faster. See picture below.

LONG BATTERY LIFE: Exceptionally low current consumption : Bypass Mode=1.18mA Effect Mode=1.50mA.... ensures an expected battery life of more than 150Hrs with alkaline type batteries.

EXTERNAL POWER ADAPTER / SUPPLY: An external AC adapter (not supplied) can be used and access is through a standard DC power jack situated next to the jack sockets. It uses the standard negative centre pin connection protocol used by many leading manufacturers. Internal onboard filtering ensures that optimum low noise performance is maintained and diode protection provides peace of mind in case of polarity setting mistakes.

ERGONOMIC DESIGN: The position of the jack sockets and DC power jack are all on the same side of the enclosure and face away from you thus enabling the effect to be optimally positioned in pedal board set-ups.
