Frequently Asked Questions

The latching mode lets you engage the effect and leave it on, while momentary activates it briefly—great for swells or quick bursts of octave-up.
Analog circuits inherently generate more noise than digital, especially at higher gain settings; the Tentacle V2 requires a good power supply to minimize this.
It's not perfectly clean—the Hoof Reaper circuit imparts a subtle warmth and character, which many find desirable, but it's not a transparent octave.
