Lo-fi octave sounds with a strong character for creative guitar setups
The JHS Double Dragon is a lo-fi octave pedal with a distinctive character, deliberately using classic analog octave-divider technology to capture the unpredictable charm of legendary vintage circuits. Rather than delivering clinical precision, the pedal produces a lively, organic sound, featuring a monophonic octave-down as a low-end foundation and a biting octave-up distortion that sits somewhere between Octavia and Superfuzz. The Double Dragon excels with single-note riffs, while chords are intentionally “glitched” to create unique, almost synth-like textures. Simple yet effective controls Volume, Dry, Oct, and Oct+ allow versatile sound shaping, from subtle preamp boosts to experimental soundscapes. Its compact design, top-mounted jacks, and standard 9V power supply make it easy to integrate into any pedalboard, ideal for creative guitarists and bassists seeking more than perfectly tracked octave tones.
