SUNN O))) co-founders Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson set out on a path toward a new album production for Life Metal. Second stage is a purely clean boost to further overdrive the preamp tubes of your vintage system into -scaped harmonics, and feedback overtone bliss.Ĭhasms are cleared, mountains sheared, glaciers calved, novæ birthed. This is a 100w tube amp full stack’s holy dream, or its apostate nightmare.Īn octave fuzz inspired by the Shin-Ei FY2 & FY6 units leads the circuit into a LM308 chipped and brutal rodent big box distortion, recreated with the best components, and including a three-way clipping switch (op Amp, Asymmetric & Symmetric). 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 into overload ecstasy. 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. In the writing sessions for Life Metal Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson 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. Order the Life Pedal exclusively from The Official Sunn O))) Reverb Shop hosted by here. THE VAST UNIVERSE, June 2019 – Sunn O))) are pleased to present the Life Pedal distortion, in collaboration with comrades at EarthQuaker Devices of Akron, Ohio, and in parallel with their new album Life Metal. Designed and manufactured by EarthQuaker Devices in the dark corridors of Akron, Ohio, The Life Pedal is the company’s’ first artist-focused pedal, reflecting an extension of the concept, tones and the colour of sound present in Sunn O)))’s most recent endeavor.
