The Death By Audio Interstellar Overdriver Deluxe takes the basic Interstellar Overdriver (an analogue overdrive modelled on vintage tube amps) and adds a second drive circuit alongside it.
The two circuits interact in five different ways via a mode selector, giving a wide range of overdrive and fuzz-adjacent tones from a single pedal.
Wild oscillations are possible with certain modes and settings, even when not playing — this is a feature of the design rather than a fault!
Controls
- Individial drive controls for both channels
- Individial master controls for both channels
- Mode selector
Modes
- Thin Drive: Boost mid and higher range to give a sharper, tighter, and more articulate rhythm tone.
- Normal Interstellar Overdrive: Classic, tube-amp-style warm tones

- Octave Fuzz: Adds an upper-octave overtone.
- Envelope-Controlled Tremolo: Modulates the volume dynamically based on your picking attack.

Watch The Death By Audio Interstellar Overdriver Deluxe In Action
It’s a dual overdrive pedal with two drive circuits that can interact in six different modes. The first circuit is the original Interstellar Overdriver, an analogue overdrive modelled on vintage tube amp behaviour. The second adds further gain and interaction options, with 6 modes shaping how the two circuits work together.
Yes — the Interstellar Overdriver Deluxe can produce wild oscillations with certain modes and settings, even when not playing. This is intentional. The extreme interaction between the two circuits at high gain settings is part of what makes the pedal distinctive.
Yes — DBA specifically cite the Interstellar Overdriver Deluxe as one of their personal favourites for bass.
Yes. Also runs on 9V DC centre-negative from a power supply.
