EarthQuaker Devices Sunn O))) Life Pedal is a distortion with a blend-able analog octave up and a 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 only modifications made to the original circuit are in the clipping section. The traditional circuit uses a single pair of silicon diodes for a tight, compressed crunch. The Sunn O))) Life Pedal introduces two additional clipping options to better adapt to different rigs.
- Circuit has been meticulously tweaked from the original to squeeze every last drop of heavy crushing tone available
- Octave section has been fine tuned to make it more pronounced without losing the bottom end
- Third footswitch utilizes Flexi-Switch Technology for the octave to allow an additional method of quick and radical tone shaping
- Relay-based, true bypass switching style allows you to simultaneously use momentary and latching style switching
- Designed to represent the core front end chain used to drive the tubes of the band's multiple vintage Sunn O))) Model T amplifiers and inspired by the Shin-Ei FY2 & FY6 units, providing a brutal big box rodent inspired distortion, recreated with the best components, including a three-way clipping switch (OpAmp, Asymmetric, and Symmetric)
