Tycobrahe

Tycobrahe Sound Company was a Hermosa Beach, California-based audio company that began as a professional sound reinforcement provider in the 1970s, supplying PA systems and technical crews for major touring acts before branching into guitar effects. Their small but highly regarded effects line included the Octavia (an octave-up fuzz), the Pedalflanger (among the earliest production flanger pedals for guitar), and the Parapedal (a parametric wah), all of which are now rare and collectible. After the original company wound down, the Tycobrahe trademark was acquired by Chicago Iron, an Illinois-based builder that produces authorized reproductions under the Tycobrahe name.
