Death By Audio Octave Clang v2 Fuzz Pedal

The highly coveted Octave Clang has made a triumphant return to Death By Audio's Queens workshop with the Death By Audio Octave Clang V2. Long presumed extinct, the OC was never really gone, merely in a state of hibernation—evolving, refining, and enhancing its already extraordinary sound.

CLANG, THE WAY IT’S MEANT TO BE

In the decade since it disappeared, Death By Audio has revisited the original Clang circuit, sculpting it into something better — a more ferocious, menacing, and thunderous force that is as usable as possible for today's musicians. Embraced by professionals and punks alike, the vintage Octave Clang was created to unleash distinctly unconventional tones that captivated the senses. In this it succeeded, but many users found it difficult to tame. Today, they have refined and extended the range of the original controls, added a footswitchable octave, and did some under-the-hood supercharging.

The resulting circuit is an insane yet versatile beast, empowering you to easily sculpt discordant ringing drones, visceral octave scrapes, and ground-shaking distortion. The revitalized Octave Clang V2 is primed and ready to destroy!

FEATURES:

• Bypass/Left Footswitch - Turns the Octave Clang on and off (red LED)
• Octave/Right Footswitch - Toggles the Octave Up mode (yellow LED). The yellow LED stays on/off when the pedal is bypassed to indicate if the Octave Up is engaged
• Volume - Controls the output level. Goes from totally silent to extremely loud. When set above your normal volume, it propels your chain into overdrive
• Gain - Sets the gain of the Octave Clang. This can (and will) drive the rest of the circuit into overdrive and fuzz. Can provide up to +39 dB of gain
• Tone - A powerful pre-gain tilt EQ, this control adjusts the amount of highs and lows going into the rest of the circuit, this can make the octave and fuzz react very differently; overloading the lows yields a larger, more blown-out sound whereas overloading the highs gives a more cutting and clear sound
• Bias - Allows misbiasing the distortion circuitry. Leave this control in the middle (5-6) for standard functionality, or turn it left or right to skew the character of the distortion to a rougher sound
• Access this control by removing the backplate of the Octave Clang
