An all new way to overdrive?
Just when you thought everything was another Tube Screamer clone comes an ALL-NEW way to Overdrive.

- 100% Original and Unique Drive Circuit based around obsolete SELENIUM DIODES.
- TREAT channel – A thick, harmonically rich tube-like drive

- Scary sounds with Guitar or Bass!

- Mechanical True Bypass switching
- Made in USA
Autumn is our absolute favorite time of year, and to celebrate the Season of the Witch and all that is scary, spooky and frighteningly fun, we present the TWA Octoverdrive™!
Like Frankenstein’s Monster, cobbled together from discorporate parts and then electrified back to life, the heart of the Octoverdrive hides archaic, undead components that should not create sound – and yet, it lives!
Cursed to clip for all eternity by a set of selenium rectifiers, the Octoverdrive offers two channels of diabolical dirt, 3-band cut/boost EQ circuit, and, for the faint of heart, there’s a Dry Blend control to add a touch of purity to the Octoverdrive’s evil goodness.
Just like Halloween, the Octoverdrive only rears its pumpkin-crowned head once a year, so get your bony fingers on one—before the clock strikes midnight!
*PLEASE NOTE: Two days before we announced the release of the Octoverdrive, Stefan from the GuitarPedalX blog made us aware of the Cusack Screamer Fuzz Selenium.
It is uncanny how similar Jon Cusack’s story about experimenting with selenium diodes was to Robert Derby’s – They say that the Universe gives the same idea to several people at the same time, so you better act on inspiration quickly!
In any event, it seems that Cusack wins the award for “First company to use selenium diodes to process audio” as they released their pedal in 2020, so congrats guys and sorry we weren’t aware of it!!!
We just wanted to state for the record that the development of the Octoverdrive happened completely in its own time-space continuum and without any awareness that the Cusack device even existed. Great minds…." -Kevin
