While it may be half the size of its predecessors, the HalfLife sacrifices none of the massive sonic character that made the original circuit a modern classic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt its core, the HalfLife combines a modified White Face-style distortion circuit, a blendable all-analog octave-up effect, and a powerful independent booster into one versatile stompbox. The distortion section offers three distinct clipping modes, ranging from raw, unrestricted op-amp saturation to smooth, amp-like asymmetrical clipping and the classic symmetrical silicon diode crunch. With up to +60dB of gain available, the HalfLife is capable of everything from gritty overdrive to devastating walls of fuzz.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe analog octave circuit sits at the front of the signal chain, allowing players to blend in octave textures for everything from subtle harmonic enhancement to wild Super Fuzz-style mayhem. An expression pedal input provides hands-free octave control for dynamic swells and evolving textures during performance. Independent footswitches for the distortion and boost sections provide maximum flexibility, while EarthQuaker's Flexi-Switch® technology allows both momentary and traditional latching operation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigned and built in Akron, Ohio, the Sunn O))) HalfLife delivers monumental tones in a compact enclosure ready for any pedalboard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHighlights\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-spread=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeveloped in collaboration with Sunn O)))\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCompact version of the acclaimed Life Pedal circuit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlendable all-analog octave-up effect\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhite Face-inspired distortion circuit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThree selectable clipping modes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIndependent boost circuit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExpression pedal control for octave blend\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlexi-Switch® true bypass switching\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandmade in Akron, Ohio, USA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBacked by EarthQuaker Devices' Lifetime Warranty\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eControls\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-spread=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOctave\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – Blends in the analog octave effect\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDistortion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – Adjusts distortion gain, up to approximately +60dB\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFilter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – Low-pass filter controlling high-frequency response\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAmplitude\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – Output volume for the distortion section\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMagnitude\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – Output volume for the independent booster\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClipping Modes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOpAmp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-spread=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo clipping diodes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaximum volume and aggressive op-amp saturation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOpen, raw, and powerful distortion character\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAsymm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-spread=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwo silicon diodes and one LED\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSlightly compressed response\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSmooth, amp-like overdrive characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSymm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-spread=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTraditional dual silicon diode clipping\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClassic White Face distortion voice\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTight, focused crunch\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSwitching \u0026amp;
