Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Roger Mayer Octavia

This was Stevie’s most widely used Octavia pedal, which he “mained” until switching to a Tycobrae Octavia, sometime in 1990.

I was also the one to introduce Stevie to the Fuzzface. He didn’t know what one was until In Step. He had a Univibe, but he never used it, and I brought in a Tycobrae Octavia and the Fuzzfaces.

We used four pedals: a CryBaby wah-wah, an Ibanez Tube Screamer, an Octavia and a Dallas Arbitar Fuzz Face.

Most notably, Stevie was seen using the pedal at the Austin City Limits concert in 1989, specifically on the opening part of Voodoo Chile.
