Inspired by the octafuzz tones from the golden era of guitar music, the Octaurus ltd is not looking to emulate but rather build on this rich lineage while claiming its place as one of the finest examples of the genre out there. Identifying Jam Pedal’s favourite behavioural attributes scattered across many different legendary octafuzzes of the past, thier mission was to find a way to bring them all together in a single standalone device.
Key Features
- A clear apparent octave across all pickup positions.
- Retain your notes’ “body” all the way across your guitar’s register
- When you clean it up using your guitar’s volume knob, get just the right amount of the ring-mod type effect while still being able to play most double stops and have the fundamental intervals pop out.
- Overdrive-like definition of open power-chords without compromising tightness or girth.
- Full range voicing option for a singing fuzz quality
- Scooped-mids option for more industrial fuzz feel, suitable for tight riffing and an even more pronounced octave effect.
- Symmetrical clipping option for tightness and definition
- Asymmetrical clipping option for looser, more dynamic feel
It is a tour de force of vintage sound and feel.
The intricate turret-based point-to-point construction is designed around a batch of early 60s NOS silicon transistors either made by Transitron or General Instrument or both, similar to 2N335/336, complementing the Octaurus ltd’s unique tonal character.
