EarthQuaker Devices

Based in Akron, Ohio, EarthQuaker Devices is a small company that dedicated to making top quality boutique pedals.  Their line of products includes eight different effects pedals.

earthquaker-devicesThe Black Eye clean boost pedal adds some sparkle to your tone while boosting it so that it cuts and gives your lead sound a nice mostly transparent boost.  Depending of the size and wattage of the amp this pedal can either push it into some nice natural overdrive or provide a nice natural sounding clean boost.

The Dirt Transmitter, on the other hand, is an amazing fuzz pedal.  Its tones go from slight break-up to full on fuzz with the twist of a dial.  This fuzz pedal does not add any extra noise to the tone, even when you’ve got the volume way up.

If you want some vintage reverb in your tone, you need to check out the Ghost Echo pedal.  It adds some incredible depth to your sound, a depth that you can fine tune so that it sounds exactly like you want it to.

The Grand Orbiter phase machine is an impressive looking pedal with four major knobs on it.  You control the depth, the rate, the sweep, and the resonance of your sound, and you can cut out the dry signal for an interesting vibrato effect as well.

The Hoof fuzz pedal is an easy to use fuzz pedal that provides you with gritty, warm overdrive or a great, sustaining fuzz.  It can also bring out huge, massive amounts of volume at the touch of a knob.  The shift control allows you to control the tone as well.

If you like choppy tremolo, the Hummingbird II repeat percussions pedal is going to be your style.  It produces sounds that are similar to synth type oscillations.  While it’s based on the Vox Repeat Percussion, it features a number of updates and new features.

The Tone Reaper is a fuzz pedal that puts out some great vintage style fuzz.  It produces a very wide range of tones and gives you the ability to carefully tweak your fuzz and tone.

Finally, the White Light is a solid overdrive pedal that is based on the sound and tone of vintage overdrives.  It provides a lot of control over your sound’s voice and presence.  Even though there’s no tone control, this little pedal still gives you the chance to create some amazing sounds.
