Product Designer & Director

Octavio Shaw

Octavio is a musician, producer, and lifelong gear enthusiast whose fascination with guitar tone and recording began during his teenage years. Intensely obsessive about all things tone, he has spent years dissecting signal chains, recording setups, gear design, and music production, developing a strong understanding of how musicians interact with their equipment and what separates a useful tool from an unnecessary complication.


Combining that experience with a background in business administration, Octavio brings both creative and practical thinking to product development. He focuses not only on how a product sounds, but on how its controls, features, construction, and overall design work together to create something intuitive, purposeful, and enjoyable to use.


As founder of Triforge Audio, Octavio directs the company’s creative vision and shapes the development of its products from initial concept through final design. His pragmatic approach rejects gimmicks and unnecessary complexity in favor of reliable, thoughtfully designed gear built around what actually matters to musicians.

Electronics Engineer & Programmer

Ilya Zaycev

Ilya is an accomplished technologist whose work sits at the intersection of technical precision and musical creativity. From an early age, he showed an innate talent as both a musician and a gear tinkerer, which, combined with formal studies and self-driven learning, laid the foundation for a career developing tools that resonate with musicians worldwide.


Based in Serbia, Ilya leads his own company, Tavysh Effects, where he developed the elusive HARM Guitar Pedal, a unique creation known for its unconventional tones and experimental circuitry. Beyond his own projects, he has quietly shaped the sound and performance of many products for small boutique builders and prominent companies through his inventiveness and musician’s sensibility.


At Triforge Audio, Ilya brings our product concepts to life through his electronics engineering and programming expertise, turning creative ideas into refined, functional products. As an integral member of the team, he continues to shape the development of new products while driving the technical innovation and quality that define our company.
