Anything on the Octa Knob (On Kemper Fuzz) above 5 tends to sound like this:
Pretty sure it's not supposed to sound like that -- could this be a hardware issue? Not sure where to start with this one outside of posting about it here.
Octa Knob on Kemper Fuzz destroys profile sound

It is a bit difficult to say for sure without actually playing and listening. I think I would need the tactile feedback, but this sounds plausibly correct for an octave fuzz in general and for the one in the Kemper. Ratty, splatty distortion is normal for these types of units.
-
IMO, the Kemper Octave Fuzz has the right kind of sonic range. I had an original Foxx Tone Machine, and a later first generation Danelectro French Toast. Depending on how they were adjusted, they both could sound subtle like on Jimi Hendrix records or produce an absolute onslaught of cacaphony.

you're using the Octa parameter with very little gain apparently,
The Octa effect is NOT a pitchshifter that does and octave up effect, it is full wave rectification, which will create the illusion of an octave up effect.recommended for classic tones:
- single notes
- neck pickup
- tone rolled off
- play above the 12. fretExternal Content youtu.beContent embedded from external sources will not be displayed without your consent.Through the activation of external content, you agree that personal data may be transferred to third party platforms.

As Don suggests , you ain’t using it right, research some Octafuzz pedals to get the drift, and yes at low gain with the octave turned up that is pretty much what you get with the classic pedals.
