Simple, elegant, and supremely versatile, the award winning D₂O amplifier
boasts unprecedented tonal control and a rich, heavy, but clear sound.
Designed and hand built by musician and recording engineer, Chris Rossi,
with decades of critical listening experience, the D₂O melds seamlessly
with your instrument so you can realize your full musical vision without
the gear getting in your way.
A modern take on the classic octave fuzz effect. Soaring leads, synth-like timbres,
echoes of ring mod, giant robot power chords, percussive stabs—all of these and more
are available with deft manipulation of the HEAT knob and your own playing
technique. MOSFET-powered input and output amplifiers give Augustus a
responsive, dynamic feel, and a high impedance input buffer guarantees that
Augustus will perform as advertised in any pedal chain. This isn't your dad's
fuzz pedal.
The basic elements are: a wide gain range, an adjustable low end, a
specially designed input buffer, and a MOSFET-based output buffer. The
gain range spans from ragged crunch to blown out, bludgeoning fuzz—all
while remaining musical. The low end can be tailored for any instrument
across a range of musical styles, from doom metal to classic rock to
noise rock.
Toasted is a semi-transparent, low-to-medium gain overdrive. Eschewing
commonly used opamps and clipping diodes, the magic in Toasted comes from the
natural overdrive of MOSFET gain stages set up like tube gain stages in an
amplifier.
The Mandorla is a colored boost pedal, inspired by vintage treble boost
pedals from the ‘60s, with some modern twists. The MOSFET gain stage at the
heart of the Mandorla is set up to take full advantage of the delicious
non-linearity inherent to MOSFETS for gobs of even order harmonic
distortion without clipping to produce a sound not unlike old tweed-era
tube amps—clean, but colored.
Dead simple, great sounding, cleanish boost with midrange emphasis. Twenty
dB of clean gain insure you can pummel any tube amp into roaring
overdrive—or back it off to kick in just a little "more me."
Don't let the simplicity of the Octomotron Fuzz fool you—a wealth of
timbre and texture is available based on where you play on the neck, your
picking attack, how you've set your volume knob, etc....

Soniashnyk is a limited edition fuzz, based on Augustus. 75% of proceeds from
Soniashnyk will be donated to Care International’s Ukraine Crisis Fund. Soniashnyk
will be available for preorder through May 15th or until all available preorder
slots have been filled. Soniashnyk is being sold exclusively on Reverb.com.
This is the same Augustus you know and love, with a limited edition twist. The
black and gold faceplace actually uses a printed circuit board process, so the gold
line art is actually a gold ENIG finish. The enclosure is finished in satisfyingly
textured charcoal powder coat.
