Looks like the same transformer I buy from smallbearelec.com.

Would the hot glue method used here be a more refined version of a dead bug layout? just thought of it.

So hey guys, you like Octavia pedals, any thoughts on what they have going on in the Chicago Iron Octavian Plus?

Here's what I'm wondering about:

- "We added the 60's 70's phase drive switch that provides the two most famous octave sounds from both the 60's and 70's." (what could this be swapping?)

- What boost circuit is in this pedal? (this is just curiosity)

It's the 2nd pedal on this page, if you haven't seen it (http://www.chicagoiron.com/octavian.html)

EDIT: Wait... could this just be a switch that swaps the phase of the transformer? Didn't they get it wrong when they originally copied Jimi's Octavia. So the 60s one would be the one that had the phase correct and the 70s one would be the one that doesn't? Just throwing out ideas here...
