TWA releases cool new Octoverdrive Thick Overdrive + Octavia pedal with special Halloween Edition
In order to celebrate one of TWA’s favourite seasons they’re launching a brand new Octave Overdrive Pedal in a suitably on-theme Pumpkin / Halloween Edition.
"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!"
The Octoverdrive circuit is based around a set of obsolete Selenium rectifiers that create thick,
harmonically rich, tube-like saturation. As far as TWA are aware, Selenium diodes have never been used in a circuit to process audio in this particular way before now.
In terms of control topology you have full 3-Band EQ, and Clean Blend - alongside Drive and Level controls. The left Footswitch then essentially allows you to switch in and out the Octave effect. When you switch the effects the LED / Pumkin changes from Orange to Green!
Controls - Drive, Clean Blend, Level, Bass, Mid, Treble, Trick / Treat Footswitch, Bypass / On Footswitch.
Key Features.
- TREAT channel – A thick, harmonically rich tube-like drive with optimal compression.
- TRICK channel – Adds a haunting, high-octave harmonic to the drive signal. Unlike other
- Octavia’s, the Octoverdrive retains low-end while also boosting output level
- Footswitchable channel selection with LED indicator
- 3-band cut/boost EQ – Bass, Mids & Highs can be precisely sculpted.
- Dry Blend control blends in clean signal with the drive for additional tone tweaking.
- Jack O’ Lantern LED display lights when pedal is engaged.
- 9V DC [-] power (external power source required)
- Mechanical True Bypass switching
- Made in USA
- Street Price $249 / £210
"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!"
