JHS Double Dragon Analog Octave Pedal

Sale $380.00 $342.00
The Double Dragon Lo-Fi Octave Device is built on shoulders of 40-50 year old analog octave divider technology — the same technology that gave us the MXR Blue Box, DOD Octoplus, the Boss OC-2, Ibanez OT10, Electro Harmonix Micro-Synth, and other circuits that synth designers helped inspire.
Pre-DSP. Pre-precision. All analog warmth.
Play single notes and you have a riff machine. Play a chord and the circuit starts to stutter, jump, and fight itself, making something new. It's not trying to replicate you perfectly — it's trying to play along with you
CONTROLS
VOLUME controls the master output level with extra boost available. Turn the octaves off, dry full on, and you have an amazing always-on preamp.
DRY mixes in your clean signal to the octave effects — all the way up is where we suggest you start, all the way down goes fully wet for glitchy vintage synth textures.
OCT− controls the lower sub-octave mix.
OCT+ controls the upper octave and distortion (activated by right footswitch).
Left footswitch is ON/OFF. Right footswitch engages OCT+ circuit.
The main effect must be on for OCT+ to function — it's the way it's designed — not a limitation. For octave-up only, engage and turn OCT− down.
PAIRS WELL WITH
Overdrive after (especially Tube Screamer - mid heavy types). Fuzz after for chaos. Pitch vibrato for a more synth-like texture. The Double Dragon's tracking quirks become even more alive and useful when layered with other effects.
