Lo-fi octaver with retro charm!
The JHS Double Dragon is a lo-fi octave pedal with a strong character that deliberately uses classic analog octave divider technology to capture the unpredictable charm of legendary vintage circuits. Instead of clinical precision, the pedal delivers a lively, organic sound with a monophonic octave-down as a low-end base and a biting octave-up distortion that is somewhere between Octavia and Superfuzz. The Double Dragon really comes into its own with single-note riffs, while chords are deliberately "glitched" to create unique, almost synth-like textures. The simple but effective operation with Volume, Dry, Oct and Oct+ controls enables versatile sound possibilities, ranging from subtle preamp boosts to unpredictable soundscapes. Thanks to its compact design, top-mounted jacks and classic 9V power supply, the pedal fits easily into any setup and is perfect for creative guitarists and bassists looking for more than just perfectly tracked octave sounds.
