EarthQuaker Devices Sunn O))) Life Pedal V3

The EarthQuaker Devices Sunn O))) Life Pedal V3 combines crushing distortion, a blendable analogue octave-up and a high-output clean boost in one pedal. Its signal path runs from octave to distortion to boost, delivering everything from focused saturation to aggressive octave-fuzz textures and amplifier-pushing output.

Three clipping modes provide pure OpAmp drive, asymmetrical silicon/LED clipping or symmetrical silicon clipping. A dedicated octave footswitch and expression-pedal input offer real-time control, while the MOSFET Magnitude boost can be used independently to push an amplifier into natural saturation.

Please note: The analogue octave effect is monophonic and produces its clearest octave response with single notes played above the 12th fret using the neck pickup. A 9V DC power supply and expression pedal are not included.
