EarthQuaker Devices Sunn O))) Life Pedal V3 Distortion/Bendable Analog Octave Up/Booster Effects Pedal

Description

The Sunn O))) Life Pedal V3 from EarthQuaker Devices features a circuit that has been meticulously tweaked from the original to squeeze out every last drop of heavy, crushing tone. The octave section has been fine-tuned to make it more pronounced without losing the bottom end, and a third footswitch has been added, utilizing Flexi Switch Technology for the octave to allow an additional method of quick and radical tone shaping. The Life Pedal is a distortion effect with a blendable analog octave up and booster combined in one compact package. The “Amplitude” side is faithfully modeled after the classic “White Face” distortion unit using modern, reliable components to last a lifetime. The traditional circuit uses a single pair of silicon diodes for a tight, compressed crunch. The Life Pedal introduces two additional clipping options to better adapt to different rigs. The first position is no diodes to allow for full, grinding Op Amp assault at maximum volume. The second position utilizes two silicon diodes and one LED in an asymmetrical clipping configuration. This delivers a slightly compressed and smooth crunch, similar to a valve amplifier. The last position is the stock double silicon diode configuration which provides that classic tone you know and love.
