Those looking for scary tone might have a new option on the table with the Halloween-themed TWA Octoverdrive, a limited edition, dual-channel drive pedal made for guitar and bass based on obslete, or – to remain in theme – “back from the dead” Selenium diodes.
The two footswitchable channels are appropriately named Treat and Trick, with the former delivering a tube-like, harmonically rich overdrive, and the latter adding a high-octave harmonic without lacking in lower-end content. The Drive knob sets the amount of saturation for both channels, while Blend lets you reintegrate some clean tone for extra dynamics.
A 3-band EQ lets you cut and boost lows, mids and highs, while the Jack O’Lantern LED display is bound to inspire some creepy riffs as soon as you turn this pedal on!
