This is pretty cool, first post in the new forum. 8)
I was wondering if onyone knows of any pedals that can jump the guitar jump up an octave, like Jimi Hendrix does in "Purple Haze", "Fire", ect.
Thanks

Boss has one, http://www.bossus.com . There are a couple that are fuzz octave also, which is basically the tone you're thinking of. As well, I believe there is a new pedal out that John Frusciante used on the new rhcp album where you can get tons of different octaves.

check out http://www.musiciansfriend.com and type in octave in the search, you'll find tons.

The DOD FX35 Octoplus is a bit cheaper than the Boss. I have several DOD pedals (also looking for this one!) and all but 1 have impressed me (Supra Distortion was HEH!).

I've got a couple that are supposed to be clones of the Octavia that Jimi used. Best results are at the twelfth fret and above.
Do some searching with "Tycobrahe" and/or Octavia.

Foxx Tone Machine
Chicago Iron Octavian
Fulltone Octafuzz
Fulltone Ultimate Octave
Zvex Jonny Octave
Roger Mayer Octavia
Voodoo Lab Proctavia
Fender Blender

All these will help achieve that classic Jimi / Stevie / Kenny Wayne / Trower sounds!
