Earthquaker Devices | Sunn O))) LIFE Pedal V3 | Octave Distortion & Boost Pedal

The Sunn O))) 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 an added third footswitch, utilising Flexi Switch Technology, for the octave to allow an additional method of quick and radical tone shaping. Earthquaker Devices are excited to have this back in permanent production, it is a true labour of love.

The Sunn O))) Life Pedal V3 is designed to represent the core front end chain used in those sessions, to drive the tubes of the band’s multiple vintage Sunn O))) Model T amplifiers (or take your fancy) into overload ecstasy. This is a 100w tube amp full stack’s holy dream, or its apostate nightmare.

An 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 (op Amp, Asymmetric & Symmetric). Second stage is a purely clean boost to further overdrive the preamp tubes of your vintage system into -scaped harmonics, and feedback overtone bliss.

Chasms are cleared, mountains sheared, glaciers calved, novae birthed. Vintage valve amplifiers recommended. Designed and manufactured by EarthQuaker Devices in the dark corridors of Akron, Ohio.
