Sunn O))) and EarthQuaker Devices are pleased to bring you Sunn O))) Life Pedal Volume III.

The Sunn O))) 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 Sunn O))) Life Pedal V3 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 (op Amp, 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?

Sunn O))) Life Pedal V3 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 Sunn O))) Life Pedal V3 introduces two additional clipping options to better adapt to different rigs. The first position is no diodes to allow for full, grinding Op Amp 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 Sunn O))) Life Pedal V3 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 or using the footswitch for immediate octave fuzz destruction. 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 Sunn O))) Life Pedal V3 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 foot switches. The Petrine Cross is the octave distortion and the Christian Cross is the booster.

[book review] Silent Spring
Format: Paperback
Author of Silent Spring Rachel Carson points out in Chapter 14 that cancer was increasing not only in the general public but also in youth: “The monthly report of the Office of Vital Statistics for July 1959 states that malignant growths, including those of the lymphatic and blood-forming tissues, accounted for 15 percent of the deaths in 1958 compared with only 4 percent in 1900. Judging by the present incidence of the disease, the American Cancer Society estimates that 45,000,000 Americans now living will eventually develop cancer. This means that malignant disease will strike two out of three families (221)”. “Today, more American school children die of cancer than from any other disease. So serious has this situation become that Boston has established the first hospital in the United States devoted exclusively to the treatment of children with cancer. Twelve percent of all deaths in children between the ages of one and fourteen are caused by cancer” (221). Why there were trends of increasing cancer? To answer the question, this paper delves into the 3 causes of cancers mentioned in this chapter - radiation, chemicals, and lack of oxygen for cells. Furthermore, it explores additional important questions it makes us ask. Cancer can be caused by natural sources such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun, radiation from certain rocks, and other similar sources. While Carson admits they are still a factor in producing malignancy, she argues that since these sources have existed for longer than life on Earth and only those who are resistant to them have survived over time, modern-day organisms must have adapted to living with them. In other words, there are likely other reasons for increasing cancer rates besides natural sources. Carson believed that it was especially due to the widespread use of man-made carcinogens in pesticides and insecticides. Compared to natural cancer-causing materials, man-made carcinogens were brand new forms of chemicals that had never existed in the natural environment before, so human beings’ slow biological evolution has not adapted to them yet. Carson not only suggested this logical process but also shared some real-life examples of how humans started to realize that man-made materials can cause cancer. Some of them were due to a lack of knowledge about carcinogens and were somehow inevitable because it was occupational exposure. For instance, in 1775, Sir Percivall Pott declared that scrotal cancer, which was so common among chimney sweeps, must be caused by the soot that accumulated on their bodies. “In the early 1920’s women who painted luminous figures on watch dials swallowed minute amounts of radium by touching the brushes to their lips; in some of these women bone cancers developed after a lapse of 15 or more years. A period of 15 to 30 years or even more has been demonstrated for some cancers caused by occupational exposures to chemical carcinogens” (226). At least these occupational carcinogen exposures were limited to relatively small populations. However, DDT which has produced suspicious liver tumors on animal subjects during laboratory tests and was given the definite rating of a chemical carcinogen by Dr. Huper of the National Cancer Institute, and other insecticides were widely used. Not only the direct exposure to those chemicals are problem but also they don't simply disappear after they're used. They keep following up the food chain, ending up in humans and potentially causing cancer. How do some chemicals cause cancer? German biochemist, Professor Otto Warburg has proposed a persuasive theory. He believes that these chemicals or radiation agents destroy the respiration of normal cells, depriving them of energy. This theory was confirmed in 1953 when other researchers were able to turn normal cells into cancer cells by depriving them of oxygen intermittently over long periods. The impact of these chemicals is not limited to existing organisms; they can also affect unborn babies. This is because babies have rapid cell divisions, making them more vulnerable to the effects of cancer-producing agents that penetrate the placenta and act on the rapidly developing fetal tissues. Dr. W. C. Hueper of the National Cancer Institute has suggested that congenital cancers and cancers in infants may be related to the action of cancer-producing agents to which the mother was exposed during pregnancy. The long latent period of most cancers is the time required for the infinite number of cell divisions during which fermentation gradually increases after the initial damage to respiration. However, since babies are in the process of rapid cell division, they may develop cancer faster when exposed to carcinogens compared to adults. How do we end up surrounded by chemicals that potentially cause cancers to not only living humans but even further unborn babies? Carson wrote - “The chemical agents of cancer have become entrenched in our world in two ways: first, and ironically, through man’s search for a better and easier way of life; second, because the manufacture and sale of such chemicals has become an accepted part of our economy and our way of life” (242). But we can’t just stop developing chemicals to pursue better and easier lives or change our lives back to primitive levels because unsatisfactory is human nature. Then what’s the practical solution? I’ll say regulators with expertise. Just like we are not using toxic chemicals that were used in the past thanks to regulations, regulations should keep monitoring such potential dangers. Therefore regulators must be experts. But this approach isn’t perfect. Moving legislation to phase out the use of such carcinogenic chemicals has been slow which makes “what the public is asked to accept as “safe” today may turn out tomorrow to be extremely dangerous” (224). It's hard to believe that toxic chemicals like DDT were widely used just a few generations ago. However, it's important to consider that similar practices may be occurring today in the world we live in right now. In Professor Handwerk’s words “Now You See It… Now You Don’t.” and we must keep asking what are the DDTs - something harmful but shocking widely used - nowadays. It’s the important question that Carson made us think further about the cause of the cancer.

A True Mystery Story
Silent Spring is as relevant today as it was 50 years ago. Our ground, our air, our food and we are bombarded with chemicals, carcinogens, products of all sorts to kill weeds and bugs and are capable of killing us. Rachel Carson, a biologist and talented writer, walks us through a litany of misuse and overuse of chemicals that have never been tested for safety to humans. Laws are on the books requiring this testing to be done, but it is disregarded because they make our grass greener, our bugs keel over dead and a lot of people rich. Carson is known best for revealing the reason that Bald Eagle eggs had such thin shells that they broke well before the required incubation before hatching. The drastic reduction is successful Eagle births was DDT. Because this is our national bird and is supported by activists in and out of government, DDT was banned and the eagles began producing young again. We have not been so lucky. This book is factual in a clear and understandable way, and it informs us of the human actions and choices that put us all at risk. No alarmist language is employed, but facts lead us to conclusions that are concerning. The stunning fact to me is that the book was written fifty years ago, and the same risks to humanity and our future are being taken today when we could find better ways of solving problems, more cautious ways of using chemicals and restricting their use in sensible ways. As I talk to people about the issues raised in this book, they have not heard of Rachel Carson and have heard nothing of the assured negative effects on our own health from the chemicals we expose ourselves to daily. We knew so much back then when Carson wrote this book. Why hasn't more been researched and shared with us, so we can have current knowledge of the facts and risks. It is important that Carson's writing not be buried on a dusty shelf. It is a real mystery story and we are the cast.

This should’ve been required reading since the ‘70’s.
Format: Hardcover
It takes a strong writer with a very clear view ( back in the early 60’s) to make a very sciency topic into a gripping read. Ms. Carson broke down a complex scientific relationship between chemicals and the welfare of the planet and those of us who live here.. All of us, down to the microbes. This is a very logical explanation of how all living things are dependent on a clean environment, and how profiteering companies have compromised the health of all life on earth in the name of fewer weeds, attractive produce at the market, and ignoring the failures of the chemical approach that disregards integrated pest management. I promise you that it’s not a boring textbook study. I was a pest control advisor for many years, and had I known then what I know now I’d have trusted less in what I was trained, looking harder into the collateral damage that was created, and pushed harder, sooner, to stop the use of carbamate, organophosphates, and other “harmless” pesticides and carriers that have destroyed a multitude of environmentally sensitive and important components of a healthy ecosystem that we may not recover from in the name of profit. Other than that, it’s light reading!
