The Sunn O))) Life Pedal 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat Is It?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSunn O))) Life Pedal is a distortion with a blendable 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: no diodes for full, grinding OpAmp assault at maximum volume; two silicon diodes and one LED in an asymmetrical clipping configuration for a slightly compressed and smooth crunch similar to a valve amplifier; and the stock double silicon diode configuration for that classic tone you know and love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Octave in the Sunn O))) Life Pedal is an all-discrete, analog full-wave rectifier based on a classic vintage design. Located at the input of the circuit, the Octave control slowly blends in the octave effect as you turn it clockwise. This feature can also be used via expression control allowing for wild, hands-free octave swells mid-riff. Because this is an analog octave effect, it is monophonic and works best playing single notes above the twelfth fret while using the neck pickup. The \"Magnitude\" section is a simple all-discrete MOSFET booster designed to blast your preamp tubes and drive them wild. It is a 100% clean, high impedance booster that adds very little color to your tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe signal path goes Octave \u0026gt; Distortion \u0026gt; Boost. The octave distortion and booster can be used independently with their own respective footswitches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eControls\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOctave: Blends in the analog octave as you turn it clockwise.\u003cbr\u003eDistortion: Turn clockwise for more distortion, counterclockwise for less.

Turn counterclockwise for more high-end, clockwise for less.\u003cbr\u003eAmplitude: Output volume for the octave distortion side.\u003cbr\u003eClipping Switch: OpAmp (no diodes), Asymm (two silicon diodes and one LED, asymmetrical), Symm (stock double silicon diode).\u003cbr\u003eMagnitude: Output volume for the booster.
