Octaking Labs announces Burstphonic PAF pedal with Jack Moore

Octaking Labs has announced its first pedal, the Burstphonic PAF, developed with guitarist Jack Moore, son of Gary Moore12. The announcement was published on November 6, 20261.
The pedal is fully analog and, according to the maker, reshapes the input signal to reflect vintage P.A.F. response curves, midrange complexity and bloom rather than emulating amplifier saturation12. It has controls for level, bass, sparkle and P.A.F., plus two mini switches1. One switch selects between '59 and Greeny modes; the other sets the pedal for a Les Paul or a Strat12. Greeny mode models the phase cancellation and frequency curve of the guitar's accidental modification, in which the neck pickup's magnet polarity was flipped, while '59 mode follows the dynamic envelope of a late-'50s P.A.F.12.
Octaking Labs describes the pedal as "the world's first ever guitar pedal" because it was designed to reproduce the tonal identity of the 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard owned by Peter Green and Moore before it passed to Kirk Hammett1. The company says its team mapped the electrical profile of the original pickups with a spectrum analyzer, tracking inductance, impedance and resonant peak response, using measurements from Moore's late-'90s signature model and his 1959 Les Paul "Stripe," along with isolated DI tracks from "Parisienne Walkways," "Need Your Love So Bad" and selections from Blues For Greeny12. Jack Moore worked with songwriter and producer Aryan King on the pedal before Octaking launched and approved the final design12. The company grew out of a meeting between King and P.A.F. pickup specialist Alexey Dovnar12.
Octaking is limiting the Burstphonic PAF to 500 units worldwide2. Neither source gives a price or a release date.
