Earthquaker Devices Sunn O))) Life Pedal Octave Distortion + Booster Effect Pedal
One of the biggest and most-successful Earthquaker Devices pedals ever in its newest V3 form – this is the Sunn O))) Life Pedal, an octave distortion and boost circuit designed in collaboration with the legendary musicians. The Sunn O))) Life Pedal circuit has been meticulously tweaked from the original to squeeze every last drop of heavy crushing tone available. The octave section has been fine tuned to make it more pronounced without losing the bottom end and we added a third footswitch, utilizing Flexi-Switch Technology®, for the octave to allow an additional method of quick and radical tone shaping.
The Sunn O))) Life Pedal is designed to represent the core front end chain used in the recording sessions for the Sunn O))) record Life Metal, to drive the tubes of the band’s multiple vintage Sunn O))) Model T amplifiers (or take your fancy) into overload ecstasy. This is a 100w tube amp full stack’s holy dream, or its apostate nightmare.
An octave fuzz inspired by the Shin-Ei FY2 & FY6 units leads the circuit into a brutal big box rodent inspired distortion, recreated with the best components, and including a three-way clipping switch (OpAmp, Asymmetric & Symmetric). Second stage is a purely clean boost to further overdrive the preamp tubes of your vintage system into -scaped harmonics, and feedback overtone bliss.
