Overview

A transparent overdrive pedal with dynamic, responsive tone.

Forged at the intersection of science and soul, the Interstellar Audio Machines Octonaut Hyperdrive transparent overdrive effects pedal delivers one of the most inspiring drive experiences ever captured in an all-analog design. Engineered with rare germanium diodes and advanced IC3 circuitry, the Octonaut responds like a living extension of your instrument—reacting to every nuance of touch, every shade of dynamics, with breathtaking transparency. Its dual-ganged gain pot blends clean and clipped signals with surgical precision, unlocking an ocean of tone that ranges from glassy, edge-of-breakup chime to warm, harmonically complex drive. The result is an overdrive so responsive it feels intuitive, sculpting tone as naturally as your hands on the strings. Handcrafted in the USA with meticulous attention to component matching and circuit integrity, the Octonaut Hyperdrive isn’t just another transparent drive—it’s a tone engine built for players who hear the smallest details and demand nothing less than sonic perfection. Whether pushing a tube amp into euphoric bloom or adding dimension to a clean signal, it stands as a masterclass in dynamics, clarity, and musical feel—your passport to truly elevated tone.

Germanium Diodes Enhance Tonal Clarity

At the core of the Octonaut Hyperdrive is its use of rare germanium diodes, selected for their exceptional tonal properties. These diodes are meticulously tested to ensure superior performance, providing smooth, warm overdrive with a responsive and dynamic range. This attention to detail allows the pedal to produce harmonically rich tones that elevate your playing, whether you're crafting subtle overdrive or pushing into crunch territory.

Advanced IC3 Circuitry Delivers Exceptional Headroom

The modern IC3 circuitry in the Octonaut Hyperdrive expands the headroom, ensuring clean signal conversion and greater dynamic range. This technology allows the pedal to handle a variety of input levels, making it suitable for use with both single-coil and humbucking pickups. The result is an overdrive pedal that maintains clarity and control, even at higher output levels, allowing you to push your amp without sacrificing tonal integrity.

Flexible Controls For Tone Refinement

The Octonaut Hyperdrive features a dual-ganged gain pot that seamlessly blends the clean and clipping stages, offering smooth transitions and unparalleled control over your tone. Its intuitive controls for Output, Tone, and Gain allow you to sculpt your sound effortlessly. The internal switch between true bypass and buffered bypass lets you adapt the pedal to suit your rig, preserving tonal purity or maintaining signal strength for longer cable runs. This flexibility ensures that your tone is always optimized for any setup.

Rugged Construction for Consistent Reliability
