JHS Double Dragon Lo-Fi Octave Device

The JHS Double Dragon: A Lo-Fi Octave Beast with Analog Bite

Vintage-Inspired Octave Effects for Modern Riff Lords

The JHS Double Dragon Lo-Fi Octave Device isn’t here to play by the rules. It’s a monophonic analog octave pedal designed to breathe new life into your riffs with vintage soul and gritty unpredictability. Built upon decades-old analog divider technology, the same kind that birthed cult classics like the MXR Blue Box, Boss OC-2, and Electro Harmonix Micro Synth, the Double Dragon delivers thick octave-down tones and a searing octave-up distortion that leans Octavia on the edge of Superfuzz madness.

Analog Octave Down Meets Fuzzed-Out Octave Up

At its core, the Double Dragon is a riff machine. The sub-octave layer growls with analog warmth, rich with the quirks that made vintage pedals so beloved. Activate the octave-up distortion and the pedal transforms, introducing a snarling, mid-heavy fuzz tone that cuts straight through the mix. This is not studio-slick precision; it’s raw, reactive, and expressive. Play single notes for solid, seismic tone. Play chords and watch the circuits jitter into unexpected new textures.

Intuitive Controls with Real-Time Expression

The pedal’s layout gives you real-time sculpting power. Use VOLUME to set your output level with enough headroom to push an amp or stack with drives. DRY lets you blend your clean signal for clarity or go full-wet for wild synth-like textures. OCT− blends in the lower octave. OCT+ controls the upper-octave fuzz, which is triggered via the right footswitch. Want an always-on preamp? Kill the octaves and push the DRY. Looking for glitchy madness? Drop the DRY, crank OCT− or OCT+, and listen to it fight.

Built for Riff-First Players and Tone Explorers

This is JHS Pedals' first-ever octave device, and it was worth the wait. It’s tailored for players who want more than sterile perfection. Think Led Zeppelin’s muscle, Hendrix’s chaos, or Royal Blood’s modern grind. It’s a perfect match for guitarists and bassists who want an effect that pushes back a little, that inspires, that responds like an instrument in its own right.

Perfect Platform for Stacking and Layering

The Double Dragon pairs naturally with mid-heavy overdrives (think Tube Screamer) for focused crunch or fuzz for saturated chaos. Add vibrato or modulation after it to bend your tone into synth territory. Thanks to its analog character and reactive feel, it plays well with others, and only gets better the more you push it.
