JAM Octaurus NOS Octave Fuzz Pedal

The JAM Octaurus NOS Octave Fuzz Pedal – Vintage-Inspired Silicon Fuzz with Raw Power and Precision

Handcrafted fuzz pedal with NOS silicon transistors

The JAM Octaurus NOS isn’t just another fuzz box, it’s a fire-breathing tribute to the golden era of fuzz. Handmade in Athens and powered by a rare stash of early '60s NOS silicon transistors, this special edition takes everything that made the original Octaurus such a beast and injects a dose of sonic mythology into the mix. If you’ve been searching for vintage-inspired octave fuzz with incredible warmth and responsiveness, the Octaurus NOS delivers the goods with raw authority.

Classic fuzz tones with intuitive tone-shaping controls

Built for players who demand rich harmonic content and ferocious sustain, the Octaurus NOS serves up a massive wall of fuzz with three familiar controls: Level, Tone, and Gain. Whether you're slamming into chords or coaxing singing leads from your rig, you'll find an incredible range of textures and saturation on tap. Crank the Gain for full-on sonic stampede, or roll it back for smoother, bluesy grit. The Tone knob fine-tunes your top-end response, giving you a wide tonal palette without losing that vintage edge.

Versatile fuzz voicing with two switchable modes

The Octaurus NOS offers a flexible voice thanks to its two toggle switches. The left toggle selects between a mid-scooped voicing—tight, focused, and great for pronounced octave effects, and a full-range voicing that unleashes harmonically rich, rounder tones ideal for soaring leads. The right toggle controls clipping symmetry: choose asymmetrical for a looser, edgier character, or symmetrical for a tighter, more controlled response. Combined, these switches give you deep control over the pedal’s attitude and feel.

Premium build and performance-ready features

Designed for the working musician, the Octaurus NOS is housed in a rugged enclosure with true bypass switching to preserve your signal when disengaged. It operates on standard 9V DC or battery power with minimal power consumption, making it pedalboard-friendly and tour-ready. Its compact footprint means you can bring the thunder without sacrificing real estate.

A mythic fuzz experience for modern players

With its roots in the past and its hooves planted firmly in the present, the JAM Octaurus NOS is more than just a fuzz pedal, it’s built to lead the charge. If you're looking for a stompbox that delivers historic fuzz tones with modern control and hand-built craftsmanship, the Octaurus NOS is ready to charge into your rig and make its presence known.
