Alors, justement, la Dunlop ne serait pas une reproduction de la Tycobrahe mais de la Roger Mayer Octavi
o. En fait la Tycobrahe est elle même un clone de la Roger Mayer Octavia. L'Octavio était une version intermédiaire que Mayer a fabriqué pour Hendrix. D'ailleurs le nom a lui aussi sa petite histoire : Hendrix préférait l'appeler Octavio tandis que Mayer l'appellait Octavia. Il s'agirait en fait de variantes du même circuit, ayant porté alternativement porté les deux noms. Dunlop avance avoir un temps pu mettre la main sur le modèle conservé au musée de Seattle (Octavio) et l'avoir fidèlement reproduit. Mayer en dit ceci :
Roger Mayer a écrit :
I have recently become aware of the release of a new pedal by Dunlop which is an acknowledged copy of the unit in the Hendrix Museum inSeattle.
I would like to take the opportunity to set the record straight. The unit that is in the museum in Seattle was made by me but never authenticated by me as being owned by Jimi. It was made at least a year after we recorded Purple Haze and Fire and was not of the same type as used on the record. It is totally incorrect to claim that this device or a clone of this device is an authentic replica of the device Jimi used on those records when I was present. It is interesting to note that I have never been asked to authenticate the device in the museum or beenasked my opinion about making unauthorised copies complete with false claims. Ask yourself why I have not myself made replicas of my own design but offer the latest version Jimi used. Anyway you look at it the public should not be mislead and should be educated as to the real truth.
