The Octonaut Hyperdrive transparent overdrive delivers expressive dynamic response through detailed engineering and craftmanship. Each Octonaut Hyperdrive features germanium diodes rigorously tested for optimum tone, an IC3 that converts voltages giving the player more headroom, a gain pot that expertly blends the clipping and clean stages, a selectable true/buffered bypass operation, and a refined circuit design for ultra-consistent performance from pedal to pedal. Pair this little guy with any guitar rig and the resultant tone will lead to massive planetary destruction!
