Jam Pedals Limited Edition Octaurus Octafuzz Pedal
As you hold the Octaurus limited in your hands, you're holding more than just another
octafuzz – you're gripping both a conduit to unbridled power, and an all-access pass to
sounds and ideas yet unclaimed.
With its unmistakable vintage personality, it has been meticulously crafted to combine
all the behavioural attributes of legendary predecessors in a single standalone device.
With an intricate turret-based pointto-point construction, the Octaurus ltd relies on a batch of early 60s NOS silicon transistors, to deliver its supreme tonal profile. Its layout is straight-forward and intuitive with a highly responsive set of controls for your standard volume, tone and gain pots.
There are also 2 toggle-switches:
• the left one alternates between a midscooped voicing (more industrial fuzz feel, suitable for tight riffing and a more pronounced octave effect) and a full range voicing (suitable for harmonically rich lead lines).
• the right one allows you to select symmetrical or asymmetrical clipping for different flavours of tightness, feel and definition.
Sonic 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
*House Tip: don't shy away from trying the gain and tone knobs at full throttle as this pedal's strong attributes i.e. a strong octave and rich harmonics really shine at these settings.
