Could the Death By Audio Octave Clang V2 be the fuzz you have been looking for? The beloved pseudo-ring/distortion/noise/octave pedal is back with greater versatility and control.
Death By Audio Octave Clang
If raw, chaotic fuzz tones are your thing, get ready: Death By Audio has reissued its legendary Octave Clang pedal. This newly updated version delivers the same signature mangled octave-up soundscape with expanded controls and features, making it even more usable for players seeking sonic mayhem.
“Use this pedal as a great distortion pedal with the octave off,” says Death By Audio, “then kick on the octave to bring down the house.”

Fuzz pedal? Octave pedal?
- What is it? It is a unique effect that combines distortion, ring modulation, and octave-up effects. DBA utilizes a mystery transformer and precision-matched diodes to create a rich and chaotic sound.
- Why is it so special? It excels at single-note leads and complex chords, mangling your signal in thrilling ways that other fuzz/octave pedals struggle to replicate.

New Features in Version 2:
-
- Dedicated footswitch to engage/disengage octave effect.
- Extended volume range (whisper quiet to ear-splitting loud).
- Pre-gain tone circuit with tilt EQ for additional tone sculpting.
- Up to +39dB of gain boost.
- Internal bias control to mis-bias the distortion circuit for rougher textures.
