<p>From JHS:</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>In a world of perfect digital octaves, we looked backward. </strong><b> </b></h3>
<p dir="ltr">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. <b> </b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Pre-DSP. Pre-precision. All analog warmth. <b> </b></p>
<p dir="ltr">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. <b> </b></p>
<p dir="ltr">It's alive!<b> </b></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>THE SOUND </strong><b> </b></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Double Dragon is an all-analog monophonic octave-down and up effect. The lower octave is the foundation — thick, analog, with the characteristic behavior that made vintage octave circuits legendary. The upper octave is pure bonus: an octave-up distortion that lands somewhere between an Octavia and a Superfuzz. Gritty. Usable. With a mid-range sting that cuts through the mix. <b> </b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Turn on the Double Dragon and you can't help but start playing riffs. Your guitar feels twice the size. You fill out the space that used to need a band. <b><br /></b></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>A MILESTONE</strong><b> </b></h3>
<p dir="ltr">In our entire JHS Pedals history, this is our first octave device. We've done octave fuzz but we never landed on a sub octave circuit that felt at home in our brand — until now. Weird, wild, and lo-fi. We're glad we waited to get it right. <b><br /></b></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>WHO’S IT FOR?</strong><b> </b></h3>
<p dir="ltr">For riff lovers. For anyone who's ever listened to Led Zeppelin and wanted that synchronized guitar-and-bass weight under their fingers. For fans of The White Stripes, Hendrix, and Rage Against The Machine, Muse, Royal Blood. Also — For bass players who know what a vintage OC-2 can do to your basslines. For creative players who want something more than digital precision and clinical accuracy. For people who want a collaborator, not just a tool.<b> </b></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>CONTROLS</strong><b> </b></h3>
<p dir="ltr">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. <b> </b></p>
<p dir="ltr">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. <b> </b></p>
<p dir="ltr">OCT− controls the lower sub-octave mix. <b> </b></p>
<p dir="ltr">OCT+ controls the upper octave and distortion (activated by right footswitch).<b> </b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Left footswitch is ON/OFF. Right footswitch engages OCT+ circuit. <b> </b></p>
<p dir="ltr">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. <b> </b></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>PAIRS WELL WITH </strong><b> </b></h3>
<p dir="ltr">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. <b> </b></p>
