October Audio is a boutique effects pedal maker based in Richmond, Virginia, founded by Mike and Max — a musician and recording engineer who met playing together in bands starting in the 1990s. The company builds a range of handcrafted guitar pedals including overdrives, fuzzes, boosts, modulation effects, and octave/sub-octave devices.

Their catalog spans compact single-knob mini pedals alongside more ambitious designs. Notable releases include the NVMBR Drive and NVMBR Gain amp-style overdrives, the Robotic Celebrity Head — a fuzz-leaning overdrive inspired by an obscure single-transistor '70s circuit — the MNTNS phaser, the Octo Deco ring-modulator-style octave-up, the Junk Lantern octave fuzz with ring modulator, and the F Division sub-octave drive that behaves like a monophonic bass fuzz synth with selectable sub octaves.

The brand also makes synth-adjacent devices such as the Transience, a drone box built around three oscillators with an onboard modulation engine and an independent input channel, letting it function as a lo-fi synth, drone generator, or signal booster. October Audio's work leans toward the experimental end of the pedal market, favoring unusual circuits and hands-on textures over clean utility effects.

October Audio has 1 product cataloged on Equipboard, including Overdrive Effects Pedals.
