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.

    Very practical and nice for the sink
    Color: Black, Color: Black
    I really loved this sponge holder. It’s quite spacious and fits everything I need like the sponge, soap, and even a brush. It looks very nice on the sink and helps keep everything organized and clean. The material feels sturdy and is easy to clean. It also drains water well, so it doesn’t stay wet. I definitely recommend it

    Sponge Holder
    Size: 7.125 x 2.875, Color: Black, Size: 7.125 x 2.875, Color: Black
    This sponge holder is a simple upgrade that makes a big difference in keeping the sink area clean and organized. The suction cup holds firmly to the side of the sink, so it doesn’t slide around or fall off like cheaper options. It easily fits both a sponge and a steel scrubber, keeping them elevated and allowing them to dry quickly, which helps prevent odors and bacteria buildup. The open wire design is especially useful because it allows water to drain instead of pooling at the bottom. Installation is quick and requires no tools—just press it onto a clean surface and you’re good to go. It also keeps the countertop clutter-free, which is a nice bonus. Overall, it’s durable, functional, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Great value for anyone looking to keep their kitchen sink area tidy and hygienic.

    Nice if the suction cups wouldn't have been deformed
    Size: 7.125 x 2.875, Color: Brushed Metal
    Update: The one I received had two suction cups deformed and wouldn't stick to the side of the sink. Realized this after placing it. Unreturnable. Perfect size. A little wider than the rest. Replacing my last one that didn't rust for years. It was fine except the hard water made the suction cups not stick otherwise it was lasting for years.
