Boutique Tone Royalty is Back.
The Octasaurus is in Musicmaker now!
There are pedals you buy because you need something.
And then there are pedals you buy because you’ve fallen down the rabbit hole of tone.
You know that feeling when you plug into an amp and something just clicks? When the tone pushes back a little, when the sustain feels elastic, when every note has personality instead of just volume? That’s the territory Jam Pedals operate in. These aren’t pedals built for spec sheets or hype cycles. They’re built for players who care about how a guitar feels under the fingers at 1am in a rehearsal room, or on stage when the lights hit and it’s time to mean it. A fresh shipment of Jam Pedals has landed in Musicmaker, and if you’re even mildly obsessed with tone, this is the sort of news that should make you sit up straight.
Let’s talk about the pedals, shall we?
Jam Pedals Boomster mk.2 – Clean Boost, Pure Authority
A clean boost sounds simple on paper. In practice, it can be transformative.
The Boomster mk.2 delivers up to 20dB of clean gain, but what makes it special is how it interacts with your rig. It doesn’t flatten your tone. It doesn’t sterilise it. It enhances what’s already there.
There’s clarity. There’s punch. There’s an immediacy that makes your amp feel like it’s just had a strong coffee.
Inside, cleverly voiced DIP switches allow you to fine-tune the EQ response so it works perfectly with different pickups and amplifiers. Into a tube amp, it pushes natural breakup into glorious saturation. Into an already driven channel, it lifts solos without adding unwanted grit.
Players online regularly describe it as “a boost you forget to turn off because everything sounds better with it on.” That’s not marketing fluff — that’s the hallmark of a properly voiced circuit.
It’s subtle when you need subtle. Commanding when you need authority.
Jam Pedals Red Muck mk.2 – Fuzz Without the Fog
The Red Muck mk.2 takes inspiration from classic Muff-style fuzz circuits but tightens the focus and opens up the dynamics.
Where vintage-style fuzz can sometimes swallow your mids and disappear in a band mix, the Red Muck maintains articulation. Chords stay defined. Leads bloom and sustain without collapsing into woolly chaos.
The mk.2 version expands tonal control, allowing you to shape the midrange and saturation more precisely. It can do doom-laden walls of sound, sure — but it can also handle articulate lead work and punchy rhythm parts.
Reviewers often call it “the Muff that finally cuts through.” Others highlight its sustain, describing it as “endless but controlled.”
It’s thick. It’s harmonically rich. But it’s intelligent fuzz — not blunt-force fuzz.
Jam Pedals Harmonious Monk mk.2 – Movement, Not Just Modulation
The Harmonious Monk mk.2 isn’t your standard tremolo. It’s harmonic tremolo — the kind that splits the frequency spectrum and modulates it in a way that creates dimensional, swirling motion.
There’s depth here. There’s movement that feels almost three-dimensional.
The mk.2 version introduces tap tempo, expanded waveform control and expression pedal capability, making it incredibly flexible for stage use. You can dial in subtle shimmer for clean passages or deep, pulsing waves that reshape your entire sound.
Players often describe it as “organic” and “amp-like,” and that’s the key. It feels like part of your amplifier rather than a box interrupting your signal.
For ambient players, indie guitarists, soul rhythm specialists or anyone who loves vintage texture, this pedal is a masterclass in tasteful modulation.
Jam Pedals Tubedreamer 58 – The Overdrive Refined
Everyone knows the Tube Screamer archetype. The Tubedreamer 58 takes that mid-focused push and refines it.
It retains the familiar midrange presence that helps guitars cut through a live mix, but it feels more open, less compressed and more responsive than many stock overdrive pedals.
Low-end clarity is preserved. Highs remain smooth. Pick attack translates beautifully.
Through a clean amp, it produces creamy breakup that responds dynamically to your touch. Into an already cooking amp, it tightens and focuses the sound without thinning it out.
Players frequently describe it as “the 808 done right.” It keeps the character players love while removing the congestion that can plague cheaper interpretations.
It’s a staple tone — elevated.
Jam Pedals Octasaurus – Controlled Chaos
The Octasaurus is a fuzz with an upper-octave bite that slices through the mix with wild, harmonically rich overtones.
It excels on neck pickup leads above the 12th fret, delivering that classic octave-fuzz scream made famous in psychedelic and blues-rock history. But unlike many octave fuzzes, it remains usable in real-world settings.
The octave effect blends musically rather than sounding harsh or detached from the core fuzz tone. There’s aggression, yes — but also control.
Players often remark that it’s “wild but practical,” and that’s a rare compliment in the octave fuzz world.
This is the pedal you step on when subtlety is no longer required.
Jam Pedals FAQ – The Tone Edition
Are Jam Pedals worth the money?
Yes — if you value touch sensitivity, dynamic response and build quality. Jam Pedals are handmade boutique effects built with premium components and carefully tuned analog circuits. They’re designed to last for years of gigging and recording, and many players find they replace multiple cheaper pedals with one refined unit.
Where are Jam Pedals made?
Jam Pedals are handcrafted in Greece. Each pedal is individually assembled and hand-painted, giving them a distinctive boutique identity and serious attention to detail.
What makes Jam Pedals different from standard production pedals?
The difference is in feel and refinement. Jam pedals are voiced to respond dynamically to your playing. Instead of compressing or flattening your tone, they enhance what’s already there. Many players describe them as more “amp-like” and musical compared to mass-produced alternatives.
Is the Jam Tubedreamer 58 better than a standard Tube Screamer?
The Tubedreamer 58 keeps the classic midrange push players love, but offers a more open, less congested tone with improved clarity and low-end retention. It’s a refined take on the classic circuit, designed for players who want that familiar flavour without the drawbacks.
What kind of fuzz is the Red Muck mk.2?
The Red Muck mk.2 is inspired by classic Muff-style fuzz circuits but with expanded tonal flexibility and better midrange presence. It delivers thick sustain while maintaining articulation, making it suitable for both heavy rhythm and soaring lead tones.
What is harmonic tremolo, and why is the Harmonious Monk special?
Harmonic tremolo splits the signal into frequency bands and modulates them separately, creating a swirling, dimensional effect. The Harmonious Monk mk.2 adds tap tempo and expanded controls, making it far more flexible and stage-ready than traditional tremolo pedals.
Is the Boomster mk.2 just for solos?
Not at all. While it’s perfect for boosting solos, many players use it as an “always-on” enhancer to add clarity, presence and slight tonal shaping to their entire sound.
What style of music suits the Octasaurus?
The Octasaurus shines in blues-rock, psychedelic, garage, stoner and experimental styles. It’s especially effective for upper-register leads where the octave harmonics bloom dramatically.
