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:
- TREAT – A thick, harmonically rich tube-like drive with the perfect degree of compression. Treat goes from creepy crunch to ghoulish gain with eerie ease.
- TRICK – Adds a haunting, high-octave harmonic to the drive signal. Unlike other Octavia’s, the Octoverdrive retains low-end while boosting output level, effortlessly raising your guitar tone from the grave.
The Octoverdrive also features a 3-band cut/boost EQ circuit to hack and chop your tone to pieces. 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, like all TWA Pedals, the Octoverdrive™ will be manufactured in a limited batch of 100. Unfortunately we are unable to predict exactly when/if a next batch will be manufactured, however if these sell out quickly, we will definitely be making more next year!

This pedal quickly became a standard part of my drive chain. Its sounds so good I keep it apart and run it into my favorite amp separately. I only accentuates the tones and provides a great character in standard drive, as well as a meaty unique octave drive when I need the extra zing. So happy to have this on board. I have not played anything like it and I wont need to go looking anymore.
Both ! The TWA has plenty of tricks up it's sleeve, and it's a treat to play with. The amount of gain on tap is insane. The selenium diodes are capable of serious distortion that can go from heavy overdrive, to full on distortion and into powerful fuzz . Once the trick channel is engaged , the octave fuzz kicks in and the unit summons the spirits from the great beyond. The clean blend is my favorite feature, as it imparts definition and clarity. Super versatile. Highly recommended. Don't sit in a pumpkin patch awaiting the Great Pumpkin to arrive...simply grab one of these babies for a serious treat !
