I just got an email from Canada Post that the Roger Mayer Vision Octavia that I ordered back in Nov. finally is on its way to me and should be here by the 10th of the month but most likely before then because it was sent express post.I can't wait to get my mitts on that puppy and plug into my JCM 800 2204 stack along with my Vox Clyde McCoy wah wah ,Big Muff Pi,Tech 21 RotoChoir, tc electronics Nova Modulation pedal and Danelectro Echo/Delay.All of these toys linked together should give me a good representation of the effects that Jimi used and I'll be able to do Hendrix covers more realistically than I ever have before.

Although the "Rocket" delta shaped Octavia is the most popular model by Roger Mayer,it is based on Roger's earliest models such as Jimi used on "Are You Experienced" and "Axis Bold As Love",the Vision is based on the model that he used on "Rainbow Bridge","Live at the Fillmore East" and "Cry of Love" but is also quite capable of creating the original "Purple Haze","One Rainy Wish" and "Little Wing"Octavia sounds.

Perhaps Mayer had not yet built the unit.

Congrats Derek, may it serve you well. 8)

The reason why it took so long for the Octavia to be sent was that Moog Music had none in stock back in November and when they ordered new stock from Roger Mayer,they had none on hand and consequently my pedal was put on back order.Moog Music only got their new Octavia pedals in last Thursday and sent out mine by Express Post on Friday morning.
