JHS Pedals Double Dragon Lo-Fi Octave Pedal

Ride the skies of soaring highs and mythical lows with Double Dragon from JHS Pedals, a Lo-Fi Octave Device that brings the analog magic of vintage octave effects to modern pedalboards. 100% analog and inspired by legendary octave pedals like the BOSS OC-2, MXR Blue Box, and more, the Double Dragon is a monophonic octave effect with both octave down and octave up functionalities. This effect is perfect for players looking to make riffs sound huge and full, adding expansive and thick tones to beef-up your riffs and lead lines—no bassist required. That said, you might want to get a bassist in on the fun anyway, as the Double Dragon is just as wonderful when applied to bass tones for rich tonal enhancement just like those coveted vintage units.

As JHS's first ever dedicated octave effect, Double Dragon is a device born from careful study of the greatest octave circuits in stompbox history. Eschewing the sparkling clean and ultra-precise sound of digital octave pedals, this analog design is jam-packed with vibe. Play monophonically, and you'll get that classic thickened sound, while chords will stutter and splatter their way into entirely new sounds as the analog circuit fights to track a polyphonic signal. Separate controls for output volume and a dedicated dry signal control allow for balancing the amount of effect blended into your clean tone, while independent knobs for the lower and upper octaves allow for precise spectral balancing.

The pedal features two footswitches, with a bypass for the lower octave effect and separate upper octave footswitch. Due to its analog design, the upper octave only works when the main effect is engaged, though the pedal offers plenty of flexibility for upper-octave-only use by turning the lower octave all the way down, or even use as a transparent boost when only using the Volume and Dry controls. If you're looking for a modern pedal that delivers huge vintage octave sounds fit for a mountain hoard of golden tones, the Double Dragon from JHS Pedals is the device you need.
