Sunn O))) and EarthQuaker Devices are pleased to bring you the most compact, pedalboard-friendly version of the Life Pedal distortion circuit to date—the Sunn O))) HalfLife Octave Distortion + Booster. The HalfLife may be half the size of its ancestors, but it’s just as heavy
- Designed to faithfully represent the core front-end chain used during Sunn O)))’s Life Metal recording sessions, engineered by Steve Albini.
- The pedal combines three distinct circuits into one compact chassis: a blendable analog octave up, a classic distortion, and a clean booster.
- The “Amplitude” distortion section is modeled after the classic “White Face” unit, but introduces a powerful three-way clipping switch to adapt to any rig.
- All-discrete, analog full-wave rectifier Octave up
- The “Magnitude” boost section is a 100% clean, all-discrete MOSFET booster
- The internal signal path flows efficiently from Octave to Distortion to Boost, with independent footswitches for the octave distortion and the booster sections.
- Best paired with vintage valve amplifiers for maximum overload ecstasy.
- Limited Lifetime Warranty
