Sunn O))) Signature pedal with octave distortion and booster
Effect pedal with Octave Distortion and Booster, made in the USA.
Developed in collaboration with Sunn O)))
Fully analog circuit, signal path Octave > Distortion > Boost
Suitable for electric guitar and electric bass
"Amplitude" Octave Distortion based on a Japanese Vintage fuzz
"Magnitude" Booster is based on a clean, discrete MOSFET circuit
Octave effect with monophonic tracking
Clip switch determines clipping type of Distortion (OpAmp, Asymmetrical, Symmetrical)
Distortion control determines distortion of the amplitude range
Filter knob for adjusting the low-pass filter (500 Hz to 30 kHz)
Octave knob for adding the Octave-Up effect
Amplitude knob for adjusting the volume of the distortion
Magnitude knob for the volume of the booster
Amplitude footswitch to turn on distortion
Magnitude footswitch to activate the boost
Octave footswitch with flexi-switching for momentary or permanent activation of the Octave-Up effect
Connection for optionally available expression pedal
Sturdy metal case
Operates with optionally available power supply
Third Generation of the Sunn O))) Signature Pedals
With the Earthquaker Devices Sunn O))) Live Pedal V3 the company from Akron, Ohio sends the third reincarnation of the distortion pedal developed together with the drone doom legends from Seattle into the race. Not only suitable for electric guitar, the gloomy effect pedal offers a fully analogue circuit with Octave Distortion and Booster, whose enormous gain and volume reserves even the weakest amp into a true distortion monster.
Amplitude
Central component in the signal chain of the Sunn O))) Live Pedal V3 is the "Amplitude" named distortion with octave-up effect. With three distinct clipping modes and up to 60 dB of level boost via the distortion knob only, "Amplitude" delivers massive distortion with characterful textures and endless sustain. To adjust the tone, a low-pass filter is also available, which can be set between 500 Hz and 30 kHz via the filter pot. While the eponymous potentiometer adds the octave effect of the Life Pedal continuously, it can be activated via the innovative Flexi-Switch both momentarily for short sound changes or permanently.
Magnitude
The "Magnitude" effect is a puristic MOSFET boost. Adjustable via the Magnitude control, the enormous level boosts of the booster placed at the end of the signal chain help to overdrive the guitar amp.
