The Octave Clang V2 from Death By Audio revives and amplifies the spirit of the original Octave Clang, delivering wild octave-up fuzz, ring-mod undertones, and chaotic distortion. It’s a pedal designed for musicians who thrive on unpredictability and crave tones that feel alive and unstable in the best way.
At its core is a specially tuned transformer and matched diodes that generate rich, out-of-phase harmonics, creating a blistering octave-up effect that transforms single notes into piercing screams and chords into textured noise walls. The Shape control acts as a tilt EQ, letting you sweep from deep, thick fuzz to bright, cutting aggression. An internal Bias trim allows you to fine-tune the mis-biased character for added grit and personality.
With up to +39 dB of gain, a dedicated octave footswitch, true-bypass routing, and a durable metal enclosure, the Octave Clang V2 is a powerhouse of sonic mayhem. Whether you want searing lead tones, monstrous bass fuzz, or experimental, ring-mod–like destruction, this pedal captures the raw, unpredictable energy that defines Death By Audio.
