From the vendor
The Potoo Octave is a PCB based on Fuzzhugger(fx)'s Phantom Octave, which appears to be out of production. The Potoo is a physically small octave pedal, consisting of just 15 easy-to-source components (including LEDR and bypass indicator LED). The original name refers to the fact that the octave effect changes shape and intensity according to volume, tone, picking intensity and pickups. You can get a lot of interesting tones out of this thing, from straight octave fuzz to a crunchy fuzz or relatively clean boost. It's loud and you can hear an octave effect further down the neck than many other octaves.
