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 love.

Birth of a Life Pedal

In 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 Albini’s (the recording engineer for the album) exacting capture skills.

The results are astounding: there is breadth and luminosity of colour, vast sonic cosmoses, flashes of abstract colour (synthetic and objective) through resulting themes which emerged from the mastered depths of saturation and circuits between the two players and their mountains of gear.

The Life Pedal 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 (OpAmp, 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, novæ birthed. Vintage valve amplifiers recommended. We hope you transcend.

Designed and manufactured by EarthQuaker Devices in the dark corridors of Akron, Ohio.

What is it?

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 Life Pedal introduces two additional clipping options to better adapt to different rigs. The first position is no diodes to allow for full, grinding OpAmp assault at maximum volume. The second position utilizes two silicon diodes and one LED in an asymmetrical clipping configuration. This delivers a slightly compressed and smooth crunch, similar to a valve amplifier. The last position is the stock double silicon diode configuration which provides that classic tone you know and love.

The Octave in Life Pedal is an all-discrete, analog full-wave rectifier base on a classic vintage design. Located at the input of the circuit, the Octave control slowly blends in the octave effects 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. Playing chords with the analog octave will sound clanging and chaotic. Using the bridge pickup and playing below the twelfth fret will produce a very subtle octave effect. Going full Octave transforms Life Pedal from a simple distortion device into a swelling, raging fuzz similar to the classic Super Fuzz!

The “Magnitude” section of Life Pedal is a simple all-discrete MOSFET booster designed to blast your preamp tubes and drive them wild. It is a 100% clean, no-nonsense, high impedance booster that adds very little color to your tone. It does not add distortion on its own but has plenty of output to push your amp into saturation.

The signal path goes Octave > Distortion > Boost. The octave distortion and booster can be used independently with their own respective footswitches.

Comfortable, Breathable, and Stylish Polo
Color: White, Size: Large, Color: White, Size: Large
I’ve been very happy with this polo shirt. The fabric feels lightweight, soft, and stretchy, making it extremely comfortable to wear throughout the day. The mesh texture provides excellent breathability, and the moisture-wicking material does a great job of keeping you cool and dry in warm weather. The quarter-zip collar gives the shirt a modern, sporty look that stands out from a traditional button polo. It also allows you to unzip it a bit for extra airflow when needed. The fit is true to size with a clean athletic cut that looks sharp without feeling too tight or restrictive. The white color is slightly see-through in bright light, so that’s something to keep in mind. It’s not overly transparent, but it can be noticeable depending on what you wear underneath. One of the things I like most is how versatile this shirt is. It works perfectly for golf, but it also looks great for casual outings, travel, or even business-casual settings. The stretchy material moves comfortably with your body and never feels stiff. The overall quality is very good. The stitching is clean, the zipper feels sturdy, and the shirt has held up well after several washes. It has not shrunk, lost its shape, or shown any fading, which is always a good sign. It also comes out of the wash looking smooth with very few wrinkles, so it’s easy to care for and convenient if you travel often. For the price, this is an excellent value. It offers a great combination of comfort, performance, and style, and it feels like a much more expensive shirt. I would definitely buy more colors.

Deep black and crisp white, this collar really pops.
Color: Black, Size: XX-Large, Color: Black, Size: XX-Large
I love this shirt. The fabric is hard to describe, but it’s very comfortable, cool, and soft. If you’re looking for something highly breathable, this is it. The quality is well made, and the zipper is great. I’m not worried about it splitting or the zipper coming off. It’s fantastic, very comfortable, and fits me really well, even though I’m over 6 feet tall. The value for the money is great. I’ve already mentioned how soft it feels, and the appearance is great too. That white collar really pops against the crisp dark black. I know the picture doesn’t capture it well and looks a bit washed out, but in person the black is very black and the white is crisp white, exactly as shown in the listing photos.

Extremely comfortable stylish shoe

Very comfortable and stylish shoe that works well for casual or dress. Sizing is as expected. They do tend to feel a bit warm, so might be best for cooler weather.
