Sunn Life Clone. Pretty wild. Clip.

Post by diocide »

I had a request to build some of these, and I finished up the first three this week. Pretty ridicoulous pedal.

It's a boost, into an octave fuzz into a rat.

I made this short clip and it's crazy how saturated this thing gets.

I'll make more clips with big amps on the next batch.

Yup. Nice and fat and loud.

What chip and diodes did you use?

Its lasercut and etched 2-color acrylic. They come out of the sheet with all the holes and graphics. Just drill the enclosure and use pots and switches to hold it on.

I'd love to A/B my EQD version with one of these clones. Maybe after the holidays. :)

I got a clone from a guy in the UK and it is indeed maybe better.

Awesome! I use a local laser etched for all my pedals as well. I love the look. Only downside is that it can only be monochromatic.

Joe from Balaguer was in on the first run and made this killer clip.

He actually ran a Bion Boost into the Life clone, then into his Mesa Triple Rec clean channel...
