Fuzz, Octave, and Chaos in Perfect Disharmony
The Death By Audio Octave Clang V2 is a bold and brutal fuzz/octave pedal that delivers sonic destruction with a uniquely musical edge. This updated version of the cult-favorite Octave Clang pushes the limits of what a fuzz can do, blending analog octave-up tones with face-melting fuzz and wild, pitch-bending chaos. Whether you’re after searing solos, glitchy textures, or raw power chords that slice through the mix, the Octave Clang V2 brings serious attitude.
This is not your polite, vintage fuzz—it’s aggressive, weird, and full of character, just the way Death By Audio fans like it.
A Glorious Mess of Harmonics and Noise
At its core, the Octave Clang V2 is a high-gain fuzz loaded with upper-octave content and an unpredictable edge. What sets it apart is its ability to blend intense harmonic saturation with chaotic modulation-like effects. The fuzz is thick and textured, while the octave signal cuts like a knife—especially when used on higher notes or with a neck pickup.
The real magic happens when you start to crank the controls and let the pedal loose. It can deliver anything from synth-like sustain to sputtery glitches and strange pitch behavior, especially when paired with expressive playing and dynamic picking.

From Lead Boosts to Sonic Freakouts
The Octave Clang V2 can play nice—acting as a gnarly fuzz with extra bite for solos or leads—but its real strength lies in the strange and unstable.

It’s perfect for noise rock, psych, experimental, or any genre where “normal” just won’t cut it.
