JHS Pedals Releases Double Dragon Lo-Fi Octave Device
JHS Introduces the All-Analog Double Dragon Octave Pedal JHS Pedals has officially released the Double Dragon Lo-Fi Octave Device, a new all-analog octave pedal built around vintage octave-divider technology. Drawing inspiration from classic circuits like the Boss OC-2, MXR Blue Box, and DOD Octoplus, the Double Dragon intentionally looks backward rather than embracing modern DSP precision. The result is a monophonic octave effect designed to deliver the warmth, quirks, and organic response that defined early analog octave designs. The Double Dragon features both an octave-down (OCT−) and a switchable octave-up distortion (OCT+). The lower octave provides thick, vintage-inspired sub tones, while the upper octave circuit adds a gritty, mid-forward distortion texture. Controls include Volume (with additional boost available), Dry blend, OCT− level, and OCT+ level, with dual footswitches for main on/off and octave-up engagement. The pedal also offers top-mounted jacks, silent buffered bypass switching, and operates on standard 9VDC center-negative power. According to JHS, the Double Dragon marks the company’s first dedicated octave device, expanding its lineup into classic analog octave territory. The pedal is aimed at players seeking lo-fi character and dynamic interaction rather than digital precision, and is equally positioned for guitar and bass applications. The JHS Double Dragon Lo-Fi Octave Device is available now through authorized JHS Pedals dealers worldwide and directly from the company’s official website. Enjoyed this JHS content?
