Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The Death By Audio Octave Clang is a boutique octave fuzz and distortion pedal from the Brooklyn, New York builder, designed to produce unconventional tones including discordant ringing drones, visceral octave scrapes, and ground-shaking distortion. The circuit generates octave-up fuzz textures alongside heavy distortion character, with controls that allow navigation from aggressive distortion to feedback-inducing harmonic chaos. A footswitchable octave further extends the range. Suited for experimental, noise, heavy rock, and psychedelic players who want aggressive octave fuzz with extreme character.
The JAM Pedals Octaurus is a handbuilt boutique octave fuzz from Athens, Greece, based on the Foxx Tone Machine circuit originally designed in the early 1970s. It produces a powerful upper-octave fuzz with rich harmonic content and a distinctive pitch-doubling effect that is most pronounced when playing above the twelfth fret on single-coil guitars. The Octaurus delivers the kind of thick, aggressive fuzz character associated with Hendrix-era psychedelic rock and progressive styles where extreme upper-harmonic content and sustain are desirable. The octave effect is analog and true to the original circuit, adding shimmer without digital artifacts. JAM Pedals assembles each unit by hand in Athens, maintaining component authenticity for players who want vintage Foxx Tone Machine character in a rugged, modern enclosure.
