Earthquaker Devices Custom Sapphire Blue Life Pedal V3 *Free Shipping in the USA*

For almost 25 years, Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson have been paving a distinct path by forging their own form of expression as the revered experimental drone metal outfit Sunn O))). Unique in every element of their approach, the duo unleashes powerful performances that are as visceral as they are cathartic, thanks to their intense volume and wide depth of frequencies through walls of amps and the signal chains they’ve cultivated. Their nine albums have redefined metal and popularized once outlier subgenres with powerful compositions focused around tone and the emotions behind them in songs that span up to 20+ minutes in length in almost classical movement forms. Their loyal fan base continues to grow, as they sell out venues all over the world. In short, Sunn O))) is a sonic experience unlike anything of its kind.

In 2019, O’Malley and Anderson decided to take an introspective journey into defining and replicating their sound by collaborating on an effect pedal that would allow players to harness their spectrum of frequencies. Meticulous in nature, the two found like minded EarthQuaker Devices to be the perfect match for such a task. Bonded by similar backgrounds and a truly DIY, hands-on approach to everything they do, the guitarists quickly formed a kinship with EQD founder and president Jamie Stillman. After months of engineering and fine tuning, the Sunn O))) Life Pedal was born. Offering distortion with an analog octave up and boost functions, the pedal carries the sonic DNA of the band and became highly sought out by players searching for their powerful tone. Quickly selling out of the limited run, Sunn O))) and EQD decided to release a second version of the pedal a year later, with minor tweaks to its circuitry and a more compact enclosure to make it an easier fit for crowded pedalboards. To no surprise, this limited run also sold out. With the lull of the pandemic and a desire to create again, the duo decided to refine and evolve the pedal, which gave birth to the recently released Life Pedal v3, which is now a permanent fixture in the EQD lineup.
