For those who may have missed out on the first edition in the collaboration between Akron-based effects shamans EarthQuaker Devices and sonic druids' Sunn O))), never fear: There’s a second chance at a Life Pedal on its way.
When released back in June, the first limited-edition run of 1,000 Life Pedals—an octave distortion and booster made by both EarthQuaker Devices and Sunn O)))—sold out within just a few hours.
Today, we're announcing that a new round, in a limited-edition gold chassis, will be available Thursday August 22. This time the Life Pedal will be restricted to only 500 units—300 sold exclusively through Reverb, while the remaining 200 will be sold by Sunn O))) directly on the road.
The circuitry remains the same as the first round, with a coveted LM308 chip helping to capture the same rich, deeply saturated tones of the band’s sessions with the legendary Steve Albini during the creation of Life Metal. 100 of the Life Pedals available on Reverb will be paired with the namesake LP.
Head here to check out upcoming tour dates. Sign up with your email address to be notified as soon as the second batch goes on sale August 22.
