EarthQuaker Devices Tentacle V2 Analog Octave Up Pedal

The Earthquaker Devices Tentacle v2 is a classic analog octave up effect. It is the very same octave from the beloved Hoof Reaper pedal. There were so many requests to make this a standalone unit that Earthquaker just had to make it a reality. You can now add an excellent, swelling octave up to anything your heart desires! Pair it with your favorite fuzz, strap on a headband and unleash your inner Jammy Hendrix. Put it in front of another octave up and blow your amps mind. Throw it in the effects loop of a delay and marvel at what happens. What’s better? It has no controls! Nothing to worry about at all here, just hit the switch and go for it. The Tentacle is an analog octave up, the effect will become much more pronounced when using your neck pickup and playing above the 12th fret.

Flexi-Switching

This device features Flexi-Switch Technology! This relay-based, true bypass switching style allows you to simultaneously use momentary and latching style switching.

• For standard latching operation, tap the footswitch once to activate the effect and then tap again to bypass
• For momentary operation, hold the footswitch down for as long as you’d like to use the effect, once you release the switch the effect will be bypassed

Since the switching is relay based, it requires power to pass signal

Power

Tentacle should be powered a standard 9 V DC power supply with a 2.1 mm negative center barrel. It is always recommended that pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies are used. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power. Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specific power supplies do not filter dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise.
