Description

The JAM Pedals Octaurus NOS is a bold, unapologetic octave fuzz pedal built for players who want to be heard and felt. Sitting proudly at the front of your signal chain, it’s designed to slot straight into your setup—whether you’re chasing snarling riffs, fiery solos, or thunderous textures that shake the room. Based on the sold out JAM Pedals Octaurus LTD, it features the same rare 1960s NOS silicon transistors and germanium diodes, giving it a tone that’s as vintage as it is vital.

Sonically, the JAM Pedals Octaurus NOS delivers everything from soaring octave leads to thick, full bodied fuzz with exceptional note clarity. It keeps your playing articulate across all pickup positions, holding on to the richness of your guitar’s natural voice. Even when things get aggressive, the low end stays tight and the mids can either sing or step aside, depending on how you set it. The octave effect stays present without sounding brittle, and thanks to its responsive clipping options, you get the feel of two pedals in one, controlled chaos or focused punch.

Playability is where the JAM Pedals Octaurus NOS really comes alive. It responds instantly to your pick attack and dynamics, with remarkable touch sensitivity that invites you to dig in or pull back. Roll down your guitar’s volume, and you’re rewarded with chimey ring mod textures that retain their body and depth, perfect for layered passages or experimental moments. Whether you’re leading the charge or sitting in the pocket, this pedal keeps up with you every step of the way.

With three straightforward knobs, Level, Tone, and Gain, you’ll find your sound quickly. Two toggle switches open up a world of tonal variation. The left switch lets you choose between a mid scooped voicing for tight, focused riffs, or a full range voicing that adds depth and harmonic complexity. The right switch gives you the choice of symmetrical clipping for tighter definition, or asymmetrical for a more expressive, looser response. This pedal’s not fussy, it just works.

Under the bonnet, the circuit is the heart of what makes this version special. Those NOS transistors are responsible for the unmistakable warmth and raw edge you hear the moment you kick it on. It’s not about nostalgia for its own sake, it’s about tone that feels alive.

Housed in a rugged all metal enclosure, the JAM Pedals Octaurus NOS is built to handle the realities of gigging life, stomp after stomp, night after night. Its compact footprint makes it pedalboard friendly, and the top mounted jacks and DC input keep things tidy and efficient. Whether you’re in the studio or on stage, nothing’s in the way.

The graphics bring a strong visual presence without being distracting. Designed with a clear layout and intuitive markings, the JAM Pedals Octaurus NOS is easy to read, even under stage lights. The LED indicator is bright enough to be seen at a glance, no guessing whether it’s on or not.

A true bypass design ensures your tone stays intact when the pedal’s not in use no signal loss, no unwanted colouration. Just your clean sound, unaffected. And for added convenience, it runs on standard 9V power or a battery, giving you flexibility in any setting.

The JAM Pedals Octaurus NOS also comes with a solid warranty, so you can focus on playing rather than worrying. It’s made to last, and if it doesn’t, we’ll make it right.

In short, the JAM Pedals Octaurus NOS is a serious fuzz pedal for players who want depth, character, and a bit of bite. From vintage inspired octave grit to modern, articulate fuzz tones, it delivers with feeling. Limited in numbers, rich in tone, this isn’t just another fuzz box. It’s a heavyweight with history.
