Jam Pedals Octasaurus Octave Fuzz Pedal

The JAM Pedals Octaurus is a thunderous octave fuzz monster with just the right balance of vintage filth and modern versatility. Designed for players who love bold sonic exploration, this pedal delivers thick, snarling fuzz with a gritty upper octave bite—perfect for everything from Hendrix-inspired chaos to stoner rock sludge and fuzz-drenched solos.

It’s built around a classic analog octave-up fuzz circuit, but the Octaurus goes further with cleverly voiced switches and intuitive controls that unlock a surprising range of textures. The left toggle flips between a mid-scooped voicing—ideal for big riffs and woolly depth—and a full-range option that brings out that harmonic-rich upper octave clarity for solos and lead lines. The right toggle switch changes the clipping style between symmetrical (tight and defined) and asymmetrical (gritty and open), letting you dial in everything from buzzy break-up to velcro-rip nastiness.

With just three knobs—Gain, Tone, and Level—it’s simple to shape the chaos. Crank the gain for massive sustain and blooming harmonics, or roll it back and let the octave speak in more controlled, expressive phrases. The tone control is surprisingly responsive, giving you everything from focused midrange punch to crispy top-end sizzle.

It cleans up beautifully with your guitar’s volume knob, letting you glide from full-blown fuzz fury to glassy, almost ring-mod-like shimmer. Whether you’re stacking it into other drives, using it for synth-like textures, or sending it straight into a clean amp, the Octaurus handles it all with unapologetic character.

Like every JAM pedal, it’s hand-built, true bypass, and housed in a compact, tour-tough chassis. And it’s one of those rare fuzzes that can sound completely unhinged or surprisingly refined—depending on how you set it, and how you play it.
