Octaurus NOS

Manufactured using the same NOS silicon transistors and germanium diodes from the 60's as the old Octaurus LTD limited edition, this NOS reissue gives you a vintage, rich, 3D Octa-Fuzz type drive, with a sonic signature all its own.

Externally, this is a JAM Pedals, it benefits from a hand-painted finish. Each pedal will therefore be slightly different from one copy to another. The controls are as simple and intuitive as possible: a Level knob for the output level, a Gain knob to adjust the distortion level and a Tone knob. The left switch allows you to switch from a Mid-scooped mode to a Full-range mode. The right switch toggles between balanced and asymmetrical clipping to play with dynamics.

Inside, we have a quality PCB which only confirms the great care that our Greek friends take in the manufacture of these pretty, colorful pedals.

Plugged into a great clean channel, the JAM Pedals Octaurus NOS delivers massive tones that impress with their dynamics, clarity, and the depth of each note.
The NOS Octaurus maintains a clear and distinct octave across all pickup positions while retaining full, rich notes. It allows for a ring-mod effect by varying the volume of your guitar, without compromising fundamental intervals or complex playing styles, such as double stops, double bends, harmonics, open chords, etc.
It offers an articulation rarely heard for a fuzz, particularly on power chords and open chords thanks to a scooped voicing that keeps the Octavia effect perfectly defined.
By pushing the Gain and Tone controls to the max, we are almost overwhelmed by the harmonics of the Octavia and the massive side of the drive.

If you're looking for a huge-sounding Octa-fuzz that brings out the Octavia part with perfect definition, whether note-by-note or chord-by-chord, the Octaurus NOS stands out as one of the benchmarks on the market.
