Earthquaker Sunn O))) Life Pedal V3 Octave Distortion and Booster Effect EarthQuaker Devices

Behold Volume III of the EarthQuaker Sunn O))) Life Pedal, the latest chapter is the dark book of drone-zone collaboration between legendary doomers Sunn O))) and EQD. The first non-limited production model from the series uses 3 switches and 6 knobs to create endless levels of octave distortion tones.

Life Pedal combines distortion, octave up, and boost into a single unit with two sides. The Amplitude side is the rodent inspired distortion side with an additional clipping section controlled by a 3-way rotary switch. Choose between no diode/OpAmp, dual silicon diodes with LED for asymmetrical clipping, or the traditional dual silicone symmetrical config. The left side of the pedal, Magnitude, is a MOSFET booster circuit that smashes your amps front end to send it into a frenzy of saturation. Magnitude is not a distortion circuit on its own, just a clean, high-impedance boost. The middle footswitch engages the octave up, which is blend-able via knob OR expression control. Experiment with the octave, which was designed for single, upper fret-board notes, but certainly has applications beyond. Signal flow is Octave ->Distortion -> Boost, each with independent footswitches.

• 3 selectable clipping options
• Blendable, expression controllable octaveup
• Distortion and boost can be used separately or together
• True Bypass switching
• EQD Flexi-Switch Technology
