Description

The JAM Pedals Octaurus is a bold, expressive octafuzz designed for guitarists and bass players who want more than just a retro novelty. Built to slot easily into any pedalboard setup, it brings the ferocity of vintage fuzz tones with a modern attitude and versatility. Whether you're after searing octave up leads or snarling rhythm textures, the JAM Pedals Octaurus offers a powerful and flexible voice that adapts to a wide range of playing styles and sonic environments.

Tonally, it hits hard and clear. The octave effect stays articulate across all pickup positions, keeping your note definition even under high gain. It retains a rich note body across your entire fretboard and delivers punchy, scooped power chords without the muddiness you might expect from fuzz. Crank the gain and tone, and it opens up into a full throated roar, brimming with harmonic overtones and soaring sustain. It’s equally comfortable delivering tight, symmetrical crunch or loose, expressive asymmetrical saturation, depending on your clipping choice.

Playing the JAM Pedals Octaurus feels immediate and responsive. It reacts dynamically to your picking and guitar volume, roll back the volume for a ring mod style texture without losing clarity on double stops or intervals. It invites experimentation rather than demanding it. The pedal’s tactile feedback and simple layout encourage interaction, and there’s a sense of physical connection that brings out the player’s unique style.

Its controls are thoughtfully laid out and quick to dial in. Three knobs handle Level, Tone, and Gain, all of which respond with clarity and purpose. Two toggle switches offer meaningful tonal shifts. The left switch lets you choose between a scooped, aggressive voicing ideal for tight riffing and octave emphasis, or a full range setting with richer harmonic content, perfect for lead work. The right switch moves between symmetrical and asymmetrical clipping, giving you tight precision or a more organic, dynamic response.

At the heart of the JAM Pedals Octaurus is a carefully tuned circuit that combines the best characteristics of classic octafuzz designs. Its gain structure has been refined to maximise clarity without losing the grit and chaos that makes fuzz so addictive. There’s no gimmick here, just a solid, thoughtfully designed signal path that serves the player first.

Built into a rugged, all metal enclosure, it’s made to handle real world use, be it on stage, in the studio, or on the road. Its size is pedalboard friendly, and every component feels solid underfoot. The jacks and DC input are placed to keep your board tidy and signal flow straightforward, whether you're running a minimalist rig or a sprawling setup. 

The artwork is bold and unmistakable, with a visual style that matches the sound, imposing, characterful, and clean. It’s not just there to look good; it helps make the pedal visually intuitive and easy to navigate under low light. The LED power indicator is bright enough to confirm you're good to go without being distracting, making it practical for live use.

With true bypass switching, your signal remains clean and untouched when the effect is off, ensuring it plays well with the rest of your gear. And should anything ever go wrong, a dependable warranty gives you peace of mind that the JAM Pedals Octaurus is built to last.

In short, the JAM Pedals Octaurus isn’t just another fuzz box, it’s a versatile sonic tool that delivers high quality octave fuzz tones with real personality and depth. Whether you’re chasing raw, industrial textures or lush, expressive leads, it’s a reliable, musical pedal that earns its place on any board.
