“All the sonic devastation of its predecessors at roughly half the size”: EarthQuaker Devices unveils compact version of Sunn O))) Life Pedal – and this time the ultimate doom pedal is here to stay

EarthQuaker Devices Sunn O))) HalfLife Octave Distortion + Booster.

EarthQuaker Devices has unveiled an all-new version of its cult classic Life Pedal, offering the Sunn O))) signature octave fuzz and boost pedal in a more compact housing, and adding it to the production lineup for good.

That’s right. No more searching on the resale market for one of the original three variants, the HalfLife is officially part of the EQD lineup for good, and EarthQuaker Devices Founder and President Jamie Stillman has even made a few refinements to the pedal that has become the must-have stompbox for fans of Greg Anderson and Stephen O’Malley’s electric guitar tone.
