Today’s pedal is both brand new and not…if that can make any sense. The now-resurrected and much-revered Octave Clang from Death By Audio is BACK, bringing its unique sound along with some new improvements and sonic options to the table. As usual, this DBA unit isn’t for everyone, but it should be, ’cause it is WICKED AWESOME…
In the decade since it disappeared, Death By Audio 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. Long presumed extinct, the OC was never really gone, merely in a state of hibernation — evolving, refining, and enhancing its already extraordinary sound. We think the research and time devoted here has absolutely paid off.
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, DBA has refined and extended the range of the original controls, added a footswitchable octave, and did some under-the-hood supercharging. There’s even an internal control that lets you misbias the distortion circuitry, for really loud and off-the-wall noise.
This part distortion, part octave, part ring mod and part fuzz 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 is primed and ready to destroy! Available next week everywhere, I’m so glad we get to bring you all a sneak peek at this incredible machine – be sure to head to the Death By Audio website and stay tuned for more announcements from them, and be sure to check out our demo video below while you wait to order an Octave Clang v2 for yourself!!
