EarthQuaker Devices Sunn Life Pedal V3

Sunn O))) and EarthQuaker Devices are pleased to bring you the Life Pedal Volume III The Life Pedal V3 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 We are excited to have this back in permanent production, it is a true labor of loveBirth of a Life PedalIn the writing sessions for Life Metal, Stephen & greg worked extensively shearing their tones toward a broader energy spectrum over high-powered saturation and across planes of sonic character, with the ambition to take full advantage of Steve AlbiniAs (the recording engineer for the album) exacting capture skillsThe results are astounding: there is breadth and luminosity of color, vast sonic cosmoses, and flashes of abstract color (synthetic and objective) through resulting themes that emerged from the mastered depths of saturation and circuits between the two players and their mountains of gearThe Life Pedal is designed to represent the core front end chain used in those sessions, to drive the tubes of the bandAs multiple vintage Sunn O))) Model T amplifiers (or take your fancy) into overload ecstasy This is a 100w tube amp full stackAs holy dream or its apostate nightmareAn 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) The second stage is a purely clean boost to further overdrive the preamp tubes of your vintage system into -scaped harmonics, and feedback overtone bliss
