October 1, 2026 · 1 sources

GUPtech released the Spooky 2026 edition of its Pumpky Distortion on October 1, 2026, in a glow in the dark box. The maker lists the run at 10 units and marks the pedal sold out.

The Pumpky is a distortion that GUPtech describes as a tribute to the newer V2 version of the OCD. It has two toggles. The left toggle sets a filter: up is high pass, down is low pass. The right toggle sets clipping: up is LED, center is no clipping, and down is classic Germanium-MOSFET clip. GUPtech lists a very high input impedance and 9-18V compatibility.

A May 2024 design update replaced the original buffer/no buffer toggle with the clipping selector, and GUPtech states that all new units carry the clipping selection. The maker lists power consumption at 6mA and voltage at 9Vdc center negative.

The page lists the pedal as sold out. GUPtech states that all of its pedals are made by the company in Saguenay, Québec, Canada.
