Might as well compile them all together for a New Years Eve special, hey? It ended up being too large for one piece so enjoy Part One of the first ever all-Australian Bandcamp Misanthropy – with more music and less words than ever before, so we can fit in even more fetid name-your-price recommendations of the best / most underground releases exhumed from the broiling subterranean caverns down under.
I’ve been receiving a heap of submissions from purely Australian artists lately, with even more of my own discoveries being banked from earlier Volumes that I juuuust couldn’t squeeze in at the time.
#SIGNAL PATH BANDCAMP SERIES#
This series aims to shine light on the freshest emanations and foulest incantations from its darkest corners… and this twenty-fifth installment is a special one. The Petrine Cross is the octave distortion and the Christian Cross is the booster.The bottomless wellspring of Bandcamp is overflowing with great shit just waiting to be discovered. The octave distortion and booster can be used independently with their own respective foot switches. The signal path goes Octave>Distortion>Boost. It does not addĭistortion on its own but has plenty of output to push your amp into It is a 100%īooster that adds very little color to your tone. Swelling, raging fuzz similar to the classic Superīoost section of LifePedal is a simple all-discrete MOSFET boosterĭesigned to blast your preamp tubes and drive them wild. Octave transforms LifePedal from a simple distortion device into a The twelfth fret will produce a very subtle octave effect. Using the bridge pickup and playing below Playing chords with the analog octave will Playing single notes above the twelfth fret while using the neck Located at theĬontrol slowly blends in the octave effects as you turn it clockwise.īecause this is an analog octave effect, it is monophonic and works best Octave in LifePedal is an all-discrete, analog full-wave rectifierĬircuit built around a pair of Russian Germanium diodes. Provides that classic tone you know and love. The last position is the stock double silicon diode configuration which Slightly compressed and smooth crunch, similar to a valve amplifier. Second position utilizes two silicon diodes and one LED in anĪsymmetrical clipping configuration. The first position is noĭiodes to allow for full, grinding Op Amp assault at maximum volume. Options to better adapt to different rigs. LifePedal introduces two additional clipping Uses a single pair of silicon diodes for a tight, compressed crunch. Original circuit are in the clipping section. It is faithfully modeled after the classic LM308 “White Face” Is an octave distortion and booster built in a custom folded aluminumĮnclosure. Second stage is a purely clean boost to further overdrive the preamp tubes of your vintage system into -scaped harmonics, and feedback overtone bliss.
#SIGNAL PATH BANDCAMP FULL#
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” we worked extensively shearing our 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. Life Pedal empowers the operator to immerse themselves in the same full spectrum overdriven sonic palette as used on the “Life Metal” album. This is a limited, hand numbered, tube amp crushing octave fuzz and distortion with boost. Sunn O))) and EarthQuaker Devices join forces to create Life Pedal.
