Double the Octaves, Double the Fun
A worthy addition to JHS’s extensive array of stompboxes, the Double Dragon pays homage to the old-school octave effect circuits that roamed the earth long before digital processing became the norm. This pedal’s octave-down and -up effects will bolster your riffs and solos with pure analog bliss. Dial in the octave-down effect, imbued with the characteristics of legendary vintage octave circuits, to set the foundation for your tone, and you can switch on the octave-up distortion to cut through the mix, reminiscent of the effects used by Hendrix and Pete Townshend. Simple level controls for output and each octave are all you need to enhance your single-note grooves within seconds, or blend in chordal work to unlock unique sonic artifacts that can’t be replicated with digital effects. You also get a Dry control to blend your main signal in, opening up a myriad of harmonizing possibilities. Finally, Sweetwater guitarists highly favor the Double Dragon’s versatility: you can instantly switch the high octave on and off via its separate footswitch and turn the Double Dragon into an always-on preamp by turning both octaves off and the Dry control full on. With your choice of octaves to add depth to your music, the JHS Double Dragon is primed to become a mainstay on your pedalboard.
