The doom device's third iteration includes a thorough circuit tweak designed to capture the band's shattering, front-end saturation felt throughout 2019's Life Metal.
Sunn O))) are pleased to present an enhanced version of the Sunn O))) Life Pedal Octave Distortion + Booster, in collaboration with their comrades at EarthQuaker Devices. 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.
“I’m super stoked to have this pedal back in our line!” says EarthQuaker founder, president and designer Jamie Stillman. “We put in a lot of hours dialing this one in and I’m very proud of the final product. Sunn O))) is such an iconic band and I’m thrilled to be part of their legacy.”
EarthQuaker CEO Julie Robbins agrees.“It has been an honor and privilege to collaborate with Greg and Stephen on the SUNN O))) Life Pedal. We are so excited to give this special pedal a permanent place in our line.”
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 recording engineer Steve Albini’s 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.
“We set out to create something that was unique and had its own distinct character to it. The result combines different distortions and achieves different shades of saturation that we were actually doing in the studio,” says Greg Anderson. “I’m extremely happy with this pedal. It’s an integral part of my tone and it holds an important place in my pedal chain.”
“Working on this new version has been a great continuity of this collaboration which feels so right, and sounds so right,” says Stephen O’Malley. “It’s a really beautiful pedal and it’s also a beautiful art collaboration. I think we made something really interesting that people can enjoy to use for their own music, but also, it makes a lot of sense to release a piece of distortion as a release for our band. We’re really happy that this is a trilogy now.”
The Sunn O))) 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.

That bass tone is disgustingly beuatiful
Big props for the bass tone here
I have the previous one, love that thing. Instant doom! And it sooo good on bass.
Helix 3.5 just add the Sunn amp model and a couple of Earthquaker Device effects model. This video has an interesting timing.
Thanks for the notice! Time to update that firmware
@@evanmaunders5688 yeah, helix 3.5 is a very cool update ...EarthQuaker plumes is modeled also 😉
Or... Just buy a RAT and an Octave pedal. Sorted. Lol.
Yes, now this pedal is featured as the Vital Boost and Vital Distortion.
Damn... that Thing has my Goth Doom Metal Heart in it 🖤
wasn't expecting the cool relatable Riff at the intro
but i would have done it with my BLACK SG of Honor 🤘
Footswitch for the octave. Called it.
Really gotta get one of these someday. Dang.
Helix has it now in case you use that. Otis split between the Vital Distortion and Vital boost.
Boy don't I feel like a sucker for getting the V1 when it dropped.
Good things come to those that wait. Or those that have enough cash to buy all 3.
awesome review and pedal, got some major cky vibes . and now the bit in my comment when people tell me that cky were'nt doom.. listen to early stuff plz x
MY NEIGHBORS HOUSE IS BARELY LEFT STANDING !!!! ...and that was just me playing the intro thru powered speakers!!!!....LOOK OUT !!! ...I AM BUYING THIS AND DESTROYING THE HOOD !!!!!! .......ARGHHHHHH!!!
I really wonder how that'll pair with my 70s Sunn Model T
Horribly. Jk.
Me thinks not well... Sunn died when the Sundholm brothers sold out to Fender. Enjoy your real authentic vintage Sunn as it is.
@@jenniferwhitewolf3784 I have another Reissue one that sounds very close, I don't get the hate.
@@jenniferwhitewolf3784 The Life Pedal is literally created with the purpose of replicating the pedals and gear Sunn O))) use to drive their Model Ts. Its going to sound fantastic obviously! Rats are Model Ts best bros
Holy Cow.
That is some down low TONE.
Sounds like ACID KING "Middle of Nowhere Center of Everywhere"
Ah goddamn I was interested in this pedal and see they're demoing it with the guitar I wanted to get too
Remarkably similar configuration to the Palisades
Damn that intro is evil :)
Are you running the pedal before the stomp or in the effects loop?
Before. Guitar > pedal > HX stomp > interface.
The people who are complaining are the ones who either missed out on the limited version, or can't afford it. Let's face reality, if it was $150 no one would say a single negative word.
I like the sound, but from the demos I’ve heard, I guess I’ll just buy it and figure it out! Some of the demos sound like a four year old hitting the strings. I needed a demo with Ola, to see what it can really do!
I have a hx stomp it now is used to hold open my door to the patio
I would love to hear these on more pedestrian guitars and amps, WTF!
You have have no idea what these sound like in "real" life
Sucks that I dont smoke a lot of weed anymore.
the big box V1 sounds better. not sure why as its literally the same components but ive owned a V2 ans V1 and the V1 is just better, especially the boost
Hahaha that's because of the subjective placebo effect, don't be fooled
F EQD
I love thick deep doomy fuzz, but at a certain point I feel like it's cliched as hell and I think this would have blown me away 15 or even 10 years ago, but now basically I just hear a stereotypical Sunn0))) tone that soooo many bands have done before. I mean no doubt this thing sounds incredible for what it does, but what it does is make you sound like a stereotypical doom/drone guitarist. It's cheating somewhat.
Dude I totally agree. It's like yes now I have that tone... that a million other people have at the click of a switch.
I think the beauty in this is using it more mildly for grit and slight octave blends. Not fully maxed out.
Imma fully max it though! 😆
I'm one to talk, though. I have a Cosmic Terror Sonic Doom fuzz. Although I don't think a whole lot of people have one.
You don't know much about this pedal, which is painfully obvious. It does WAY more than just drone tone. It is after a octave distortion booster, not just a fuzz.
It's comical,people spend all this money to get this sound when back in the late 80's early 90s that's just how we sounded cause we played on shotty gear from the pawn shops,cheap beer.
@@1942manfred Wow man. You like, started it all 👌
Sounds like Tool
It rather disappoints me to see the Sunn name bastardized on a gadget like this. Sunn ended when Conrad Sundholm sold the company to Fender, and they pretty much just made it die.... In fact they started building Fender tube amps in the Sunn building here in Tualitin Oregon, and did so well into the 90s. This pedal deserves its own identity.. as part of a well known pedal family👍.
You know its mainly named after the band, right?
Dude... This pedal has nothing to do with Sunn amps, like at all.
@@AzathothsAlarmClock ...who named their band after the amp brand.💡
Sounds like a yuppy elitist to me, boys. Boo this man.
Pedals are hardly "gadgets", they are legitimate tools.
429€ ... and EQD quality is really bad! they crap out so fast.
I bought a clone for $90 from Anvil Effects on reverb. It sounds amazing. Honestly I don't even use the octave or boost, I just use the standard distortion. Can't beat that LM3 series Rat circuit.
Fantastico, lo prenderei subito se non costasse come una macchina a benzina di ultima generazione! :)
