"Say hello to Cicely! The next module in the analogue line up of Eurorack gear from Expert Sleepers. The module is based on the classic Roger Mayer designed Octavia design (think Jimi Hendrix octave fuzz), while the original is routed as part of guitar FX history here we’re exploring that under voltage control as part of a modular synth system.
You can apply these patches to other distortions you may have so watch along and give the patches a try, from wave shaping basic VCO shapes to dynamic end of chain fuzz, create unique delay shimmer and plenty more."

"'Cicely' is an “octave fuzz” effect, inspired by the legendary 'Octavia' guitar pedal, created by Roger Mayer and most notably used by Jimi Hendrix. There is an interesting history of the pedal on Roger's website here. Cicely adapts the concept for the modular environment, adds some extra features, and of course puts the effect under CV control.
The effect is essentially one of adding an octave on top of the input note, but this only really applies to pure input tones – for more complex tones, the sound is changed in all sorts of interesting ways. This is combined with the possibility of overdriving the sound for even more edge, while the unique 'Centre' control adds asymmetrical clipping.
As a bonus feature, Cicely also includes an envelope follower."
