Effect Pedals Overdrive / Distortion / Fuzz

The Death By Audio Absolute Destruction harnesses a power amplifier IC to generate its insane sound. Its Gain and Overload sliders interact to create a wide range of unique sounds in various positions. You choose, to your liking, how much to absolutely destroy your sound. The further the Overload control is set to the left, the faster the effect slips into absolute destruction. Blow it out even harder and faster by slamming Gain and Overload opposite one another. Lower one or the other for smoother attack and release. Screaming octaves, thick fuzz, and the sound of your guitar reaching back from the depths of destruction are at your fingertips. Think of it as a psychotic compressor, or maybe more accurately the sound your amp would make if you set fire to it.distortion / fuzz effects pedalwide range of unique sounds from crushing distortion tones to a thick, gnarly fuzz sound with 'screaming' octavesuses a power amplifier IC to generate its insane soundGain and Overload sliders interact depending on the settinghorizontal sliders protect them from bending or any accidental movementtrue bypasscontrols for Gain, Overload, Master Volumebypass footswitchstatus LEDmetal housing6.3 mm mono in / output jackspower supply via 9V battery or optional 9V DC adapter, 2.1 x 5.5 mm barrel plug, polarity (-) centercurrent draw 5 mAdimensions (L x W x H) 125 x 66 x 59 mm / 4.95" x 2.61" x 2.34"weight ca. 283 g / 0.63 lbshandmade in New York City, USA

The Apocalypse is Death By Audio's jack-of-all trades fuzz pedal. After being dramatically overdriven, the signal is routed to one of five selectable post-amplifiers for five wild and unique fuzz tones. Toggle through its five signal paths and choose your desired apocalyptic sound. To further refine this beast, control the Sweepabale Frequency Equalizer and carve your tone out just the way you like it. Use this pedal as a boost for solos, an amp simulated recording DI, your main fuzz sound, a bass blitzer, or run anything into it you want to beef up, blast out, destroy, or supercharge!overdrive / fuzz effects pedalwide range of intense but usable overdrive, distortion and fuzz sounds5 selectable post-amplifier modes (Twin-T Scoop / War Fuzz / Dual J-FET / Octave Rect / Gain x1000)Sweepable Frequency Equalizer functions as a multitude of tone controls simultaneously (bass boost / mid scoop / mid boost / treble boost)true bypasscontrols for Volume, Drive, Sweepable Frequency EqualizerPost-Amp Mode rotary switchbypass footswitchstatus LEDmetal housing6.3 mm mono in / output jackspower supply via 9V battery or optional 9V DC adapter, 2.1 x 5.5 mm barrel plug, polarity (-) centercurrent draw 5.8 mAdimensions (L x W x H) 149 x 119 x 62 mm / 5.87" x 4.72" x 2.46"weight ca. 566 g / 1.25 lbshandmade in New York City, USA

"Fuzz So Heavy, It Had to Be Split" The Crossover Fuzz is a screaming, swirling filter-fuzz monster. It takes your signal, slices it into high and low frequencies, and then absolutely wrecks each band with Death By Audio’s signature fuzz. Like a crossover circuit on a rampage, it gives you independent control over each half of your sound (highs and lows), letting you shape, destroy, and reimagine your tone like never before. Want to blow through the mix on stage? Crank the Freq knob to sweep two analog resonant filters in tandem, carving out sonic space with surgical precision or dialing in chaotic, oscillating madness. Adjust the volume of your highs and lows separately for gritty tone sculpting or dial in your dream EQ. With its HIGH and LOW inputs and outputs, you can use the Crossover Fuzz like no other fuzz on the planet: split your signal to different amps, isolate frequencies for creative effect routing, or use it as a stereo panner that slings frequencies across the room. You can even control the filter sweep with CV or expression, and the LED display reacts in real time to show you exactly where your crossover sits. Bonus: it looks sick on a dark stage. This isn’t just a fuzz pedal. It’s a multi-dimensional fuzz engine.

The Death By Audio Evil Filter is a 'psycho' multi-mode filter with an ultra-sleek, laser-etched enclosure. Its medical-grade IC chip creates a hyper-precise filter that sounds like no other. With high pass, band pass, and low pass modes, as well as two types of screaming resonance, the Evil Filter is ready to saw any sound into pieces - or just be the most insane wah you've ever heard. The Evil Filter's two fuzzes take signals into a much more twisted dimension, creating a blooming compression that's perfect for ripping solos and walls of noise alike. Push it past the limit into octaves up, down, and snarling wavefolding sounds. Using the CV/Expression input, you can also control the filter cutoff frequency with an expression pedal or synthesizer.filter / fuzz effects pedalseparate foot-switchable section for fuzz and filter can be used separately or combinedmedical-grade IC chip creates a hyper-precise filterFilter Freq. can be controlled with an optional expression pedal or CV control (~0-3.0V)3 selectable filter modes (high pass / band pass / low pass)2 selectable resonance ranges (normal / high)2 selectable fuzz typestrue bypasscontrols for Filter Freq., Filter Output, Filter Resonance, Fuzz OutputFilter Selector rotary switchFuzz Type toggle switchResonance toggle switchFilter bypass footswitchEvil Fuzz bypass footswitchstatus LEDlaser-etched metal housing6.3 mm mono in / output jacks6.3 mm Expression / CV inputpower supply via 9V battery or optional 9V DC adapter, 2.1 x 5.5 mm barrel plug, polarity (-) centercurrent draw 21 mAdimensions (L x W x H) 196 x 119 x 60 mm / 7.75" x 4.72" x 2.4"weight ca. 708 g / 1.56 lbshandmade in New York City, USA

Interstellar Overdriver works just like an old 1950s tube amp - the louder you crank it, thebetter it sounds. Achieve stadium-sized “rawk” guitar sounds at bedroom levels with the same dynamic crunch and fluid sustain as a fleet of backline amps turned up to the edge of meltdown. We went through painstaking measures to succeed where other drive pedals have failed. The circuit is precisely tuned to counteract the harsh, unnatural fizziness that comes with recreatingtube overdrive in a stompbox format.

The Death By Audio Robot is a low fidelity 8 bit pitch transposer with absolutely no feelings whatsoever. It is completely synthetic and transforms any input into a puree of resynthesized robot jargon. Features bendable super lo-fi fuzz, octave up, octave down, and arpeggiation. All modes are controlled by the large Control knob, which sets the frequency the chip operates at, changing and warping the pitch shifting and aliasing effects. When turned up completely clockwise, it is at its highest pitch. Turning down, counterclockwise, lowers the pitch or speed of the arpeggiator.fuzz / octaver / bit crusher / lo-fi granulizer effects pedalcompletely synthetic sound effectsfour selectable effects modes (normal lo-fi fuzz / octave down / octave up / arpeggiator)Control knob sets the frequency the chip operates attrue bypasscontrols for Volume, Controleffect mode rotary switchbypass footswitchstatus LEDmetal housing6.3 mm mono in / output jackspower supply via 9V battery or optional 9V DC adapter, 2.1 x 5.5 mm barrel plug, polarity (-) centercurrent draw 23 mAdimensions (L x W x H) 149 x 119 x 66 mm / 5.87" x 4.72" x 2.62"weight ca. 538 g / 1.19 lbshandmade in New York City, USA

The Death By Audio Total Sonic Annihilation 2 (TSA2) works on a simple premise: what if effect pedals were patched back into themselves? What does it sound like for a filter to be multiplied by infinity? Or if your modulator was modulating its own modulations? The TSA2 creates a controllable feedback loop, causing your pedals to cycle back on themselves, feeding the output back into the input as much or as little as you want. Experience true sonic exploration: every unique pedal array will produce a vast world of textures and possibilities. If you've used a feedback loop pedal before, (like the 1st edition of the Total Sonic Annihilation) then you know the vast world of insane and wild sounds you can get. With this new updated version of the original, the active boost maximizes usability for many applications where the original fell short. For example, if the effect in the feedback loop is out of phase with itself, the loop would turn the pedal into a volume or blend pedal and be somewhat disappointing. With the TSA2, just flip the phase switch and all of a sudden those once dormant possibilities are awakened! The boost section also provides loads of gain to awaken even the faintest effect into an unearthly behemoth, and a limiter to tame the most unruly beast into a purring kitten. Experiment with as many different pedals in the feedback loop for unique and incredible results!boost / feedback looper effects pedalrevised V2 version with extended functionscombines an adjustable feedback loop with an active boost sectionfeedback loop routes the output signal of a pedal in the loop completely adjustable back to its inputadjustable limiter controls the output volume (only with activated boost section)Phase switch flips the phase of the loop (only with activated boost section)in bypass, the connected effects are still in the signal chainwhen the boost section is not engaged, the pedal is completely passive and can work without powertrue bypasscontrols for Feedback, Gain, LimitPhase toggle switchBoost On / Off toggle switchbypass footswitchstatus LEDmetal housing6.3 mm mono in / output jacks6.3 mm mono send / return jackspower supply via 9V battery or optional 9V DC adapter, 2.1 x 5.5 mm barrel plug, polarity (-) centercurrent draw 5 mAdimensions (L x W x H) 122 x 68 x 62 mm / 4.83" x 2.69" x 2.48"weight ca. 311 g / 0.69 lbshandmade in New York City, USA

The Death By Audio Waveformer Destroyer offers hundreds of possible overdrive, distortion and fuzz sounds at your fingertips, customizable via four selectable foot switches and eight internal DIP switches. Set it and forget it, then dig back in when you want to change things up again. This gives you a ton of fuzz, overdrive, and distortion sounds you will become addicted to. Perfect for the road where you don't want to lose your carefully found settings, the Waveformer is capable of almost any sound you can dream of, and several hundred that most wouldn't dare to.overdrive / distortion / fuzz effects pedalextreme wide range of possible sounds sound design with three switchable modifiers and eight internal DIP switchesseparate footswitches for modifier sections (boost, filter, blast)two DIP switches affect the global pedal sound, the other six switches affect the modifier sections (two switches for each section)true bypasscontrol for Master (Volume)Engage footswitchBoost footswitchBlast footswitchFilter footswitchstatus LED for each sectionmetal housing6.3 mm mono in / output jackspower supply via 9V battery or optional 9V DC adapter, 2.1 x 5.5 mm barrel plug, polarity (-) centercurrent draw 6 mAdimensions (L x W x H) 149 x 119 x 57 mm / 5.87" x 4.72" x 2.26"weight ca. 566 g / 1.25 lbshandmade in New York City, USA

One knob, many possibilities. The Acapulco Gold is a “one knob power amp distortion box” based on the vibe of a cranked Sunn Model T. The Acapulco Gold interacts perfectly with the Volume and Tone controls of the guitar cleaning as they are rolled down. For those who would like to give their tube amps a “Sunn Model T” kick, the Acapulco Gold is the perfect choice. However, the pedal can produce aggressive distortion sounds in the verge of Fuzz. It responds very dynamically to the playing style. The Acapulco Gold features True Bypass and it’s hand built in Akron, Ohio in the USA. The Acapulco Gold V2 uses silent relay-based soft touch switching. Audio will not pass without power.Power amp style distortion pedalBased on a Sunn Amp Model T's distortionExceptionally dynamic responseTrue Bypass1 unlabeled control for volumeBypass footswitchSilent relay-based soft touch switchingStatus LEDTop-mounted 6.3 mm mono IN/OUT jacksMetal housingPower supply via 9V battery or optional 9V DC adapter 2.1 mm x 5.5 mm barrel plug, polarity (-) centerDimensions (D x W x H): 128 x 66 x 57 mmCurrent draw 30 mAHand made in USA

The Barrows is a recreation of one of the most revered and mystical circuits - the classic three-transistor TB MkII. The original MkII circuit was the secret weapon behind some of the most crushing riffs ever committed to tape. From dawn-of-metal caveman dirges to the wall-of-sound symphonies conjured by the highest tiers of shoegaze sorcerers, this legendary topology has been the foundation of countless sonic monuments. Now, with Barrows, you can channel that same lightning-in-a-bottle magic while enjoying the reliability and versatility that modern craftsmanship provides. The Barrows delivers the signature cutting mid-focused tones with plenty of low-end authority and brilliant top-end grind that made the original MkII a legend. But unlike its temperamental ancestors, Barrows includes several modern upgrades that transform it from a vintage curiosity into a contemporary powerhouse. The phase-corrected and buffered output ensures it plays nice with other pedals down the line, while the increased output volume and wide range of fuzz tones make it a versatile sonic weapon. All this power is packed into a compact footprint that saves precious real estate on your Pedalboard. The Barrows responds beautifully to your playing dynamics and guitar's volume control. Try rolling back your guitar's volume for cleaner tones, then dig in or roll the volume up for more aggressive textures. The germanium transistors give Barrows a uniquely musical response that reacts to your touch like a living, breathing entity.fuzz effect pedalbased on the legendary TB MkII circuit with Germanium transistorscontrols for Level, AttackTrue Bypass footswitchstatus LEDmetal housing6.3 mm mono jack input / outputpower supply via 9 VDC power supply (not included), 2.1 x 5.5 mm barrel plug, polarity (-) insidebattery operation not supportedcurrent draw 10 mAdimensions (L x W x H) 95,3 x 50,8 x 44,5 mm / 3.75" x 2" x 1.75"weight ca. 161 g / 0.35 lbshand made in USA

The Blumes is an overdrive based on the Plumes circuit that is ideal for bass players and all purveyors of low-end. While embodying the key characteristics and features of the Plumes, they went ahead and modified this circuit with double the gain and a deeper bass response to retain all the low end. At lower gain settings, you’ll get all of the crunchy tone you love about the original, but once you get above noon on the Gain control, that’s where the similarities stop. This all-analog tri-mode overdrive with soft clipping carries the torch of the classic screamer circuit but has a voice all its own. And thanks to its +/- power supply it utilizes bipolar power, which gives you more dynamics, clarity, and all the headroom you could ever desire. The end result is a more three-dimensional tone with added clarity that really pushes a nice tube amp over the edge. And much like the Plumes, this pedal offers three different clipping options for your desired low end face melting needs.bass overdrive effect pedalbased on a modified Plumesdeep bass responsetwice as much gain as the Plumesfeatures 3 different clipping options: symmetrical LED, asymmetrical silicon, and no diode OpAmp driveoperates off internal bipolar power for more headroom and signal integrityall-analog signal pathsilent relay-based switching with Flexi-Switch technologytrue bypasscontrols for Level, Tone, Gain3-way toggle switch for three clipping modesbypass footswitchstatus LEDmetal housing6.3 mm mono in / output jackspower supply via optional 9V DC adapter, 2.1 x 5.5 mm barrel plug, polarity (-) centerbattery operation not supportedcurrent draw 25 mAdimensions (D x W x H) 127 x 67 x 54 mm / 5" x 2.625" x 2.125"weight 262 g / 0.578 lbsmade in USA

The Fuzz Master General is our take on the vintage Ace Tone Fuzz Master FM-2 Professional fuzz machine, an octave fuzz that was very similar to the wildly popular Super Fuzz. We have taken the basic circuit and re-imagineered it to be more useful for the modern player. The Fuzz Master General features a more accurate Fuzz control that delivers a much broader spectrum of dirt tones ranging from nearly clean through full buzz saw assault. We added a Voice toggle to further enhance your dirt desires and wrangle a more variable tone out of the classic circuit. This toggle selects between germanium, silicon and no diode clipping. This has a huge impact on the characteristics of fuzz tone, upper octave clarity and output level. Germanium diodes offer more output and an open, looser fuzz tone while the silicon diodes compress the signal and yield a tighter fuzz tone. When the voice is set to no diode clipping (center position) you can attain a nearly clean upper octave that borders on ring modulation! While the original Fuzz Master had a foot switch to select between two different tone settings, the Fuzz Master General has a variable Tone control that allows you to dial in everything in between a wide-open treble assault and a super-scooped, bass-heavy vintage unit. With all these added features, the Fuzz Master General delivers a more versatile version of the original while still retaining the same swelling octave grind we all know and love. Each Fuzz Master General is made by human hands in mostly tropical Akron, Ohio.fuzz effect pedalre-issue of the legendary Fuzz Master General limited to 1600 units worldwideversatile fuzz pedal with switchable clipping options and octave up effect controls for Tone, Level, FuzzVoice switch for Silicon, Germanium or no clipping diodesBypass footswitch featuring Flexi-Switch technologystatus LEDmetal housing6.3 mm mono jack input / outputpower supply via 9V DC power supply (not included), 2.1 x 5.5 mm barrel plug, polarity (-) insidebattery operation not supportedcurrent draw 10 mAdimensions (L x W x H) 127 x 64 x 57 mm / 5" x 2.5" X 2.25"weight ca. 272 g / 0.6 lbshand made in USA

EarthQuaker Devices is proud to introduce you to your new best bud, Gary. This little big guy was dreamt up by the one and only Lee Kiernan from the crushing and most necessary band, Idles! Gary started as a simple request to create a compact version of the now discontinued Gray Channel, which was a mainstay on Lee’s board and a big part of his main drive tone. This was all fine and good, and sounded quite sick, but Gary was demanding that we look deeper and explore his dark side a little more, Gary after dark, Saturday night Gary. So, we sat him down and began the trek of figuring old Gare-Bear out once and for all. The result is a real exercise in light and dark; smooth to shredded and everything in between. Gary’s right brain consists of a dynamic and destructive fuzz that is both domineering and interactive. It is a ripping fuzz tone with an envelope-controlled variable pulse width and enough volume to blow everything up. This nasty little fuzz turns the signal into a square wave and allows you to dynamically adjust the duty cycle with pick attack. Yes! Controls the sensitivity of the envelope. When this is all the way down you will get an unadulterated thick and heavy square wave fuzz tone that will sustain for days and go dead quiet when you stop playing. As you increase the Yes! control, the envelope becomes more interactive, and the pulse width narrows the harder you hit it. As the pulse width narrows, the tone becomes more nasal and biting until it gets so narrow that Gary goes to his dark place and disappears completely. In other words, with higher sensitivity settings, the sound will disappear entirely and come cruising back to Gary’s big guy tone. With proper playing dynamics, this creates a very cool effect that can sound like an exploding amp coming in and out of life, blown through a phase shifter. This effect can also be controlled with an expression pedal for manual operation or for finding just the right pulse width to cut through the mix for a set-and-forget operation. When using an expression pedal, Yes! operates in conjunction with the expression pedal to set the peak of the sweep. Set Yes! to the desired stopping point and express yourself as you please without worry of taking Gary over the edge! Oosh acts as the master volume for Gary’s nasty side. There is an insane amount of volume on tap so use this control wisely! Gary’s left brain displays his softer side. This is a simple and natural sounding overdrive that keeps your tone lively and drives your amp crazy. This side is based on the green channel of our Gray Channel, which is our take on the classic little yellow overdrive that started it all for us. Lee used this pedal with the clipping switch permanently set to the middle position, which removes all the diodes from the circuit, producing a full-bodied, cutting opamp distortion with plenty of volume on tap. We have reproduced that tone here with exacting precision. Go sets the opamp drive and can range from a simple full-range clean boost all the way up to a smooth and natural distortion. In conjunction with That’s It, which is the master volume for the drive side, you can use Gary’s softer side as a clean boost to push your amp into overdrive or turn up Go and use all of Gary’s internal magic to create the finely tuned dirt you desire. Gary’s signal path is fuzz into overdrive for total tonal integrity and cannot be changed. This is where Gary put his foot down, and we obliged.

The EarthQuaker Devices Hizumitas was designed for the one and only Wata from the legendary experimental band Boris, one of the heaviest bands ever to come out of Japan. Hizumitas is a faithful recreation of Wata's go-to distortion pedal, the Elk BM Sustainar. The Elk is a Japanese variant of the very well-known Triangle BMP. The designers at EQD tried several vintage BMP's during development, found that each pedal was wildly different and realized that to truly capture the magic they needed the original. Wata graciously sent her beloved pedal halfway around the world, and EQD discovered that it had something special the others didn't have: heavy saturation with a gritty edge and massive bottom while maintaining a clear and dynamic tone with enough mids and top end to cut through any sludge. The studious wizards at EQD have built all of those characteristics into the Hizumitas! The pedal brings loads of heavy distortion and smooth sustain and an underlying grit that sounds like the speakers are on the verge of ripping apart while delivering amazing and unexpected clarity from such an aggressive sounding pedal. The Sustain control has a wide range of saturation, meaning even small changes will significantly affect the overall tone. Hizumitas responds excellently to all types of pickups and playing dynamics. Your power chords will sound huge and heavy, while open chords will be dynamic with fantastic note separation, and single note leads will come across smooth and powerful, especially with the neck pickup. The Tone control is atypical for this type of distortion and can drastically change the distortion's character in conjunction with the Sustain setting. Bass frequencies are boosted clockwise, and treble frequencies are boosted counterclockwise. The tone control can go from an aggressive mid-range grind to piercing highs as you turn it counterclockwise. As you turn it clockwise, the mids become less present, the highs are tamed, and a humongous, thundering low end comes to the forefront. The Volume control offers massive output gain with unity at around 9-10 o'clock and beyond that, prepare to hear and feel the power of Hizumitas!fuzz / sustainer effects pedaldesigned for Wata, from the legendary Japanese band Borisfaithful sonic recreation of Wata's crushing go-to fuzz: the Elk BM Sustainaroffers loads of heavy distortion and smooth sustain with an underlying gritexcellent response to different pickup types and playing dynamicsunique Tone and Sustain controls greatly impact the distortion's characteroffers plenty of output Volume (unity is around 9-10 o'clock, everything above that is set to destroy)all-analog signal pathtrue bypass (silent relay-based switching)controls for Volume, Sustain, Tonebypass footswitchstatus LEDmetal housing6.3 mm mono in / output jackspower supply via optional 9V DC adapter 2.1 mm x 5.5 mm barrel plug, polarity (-) centerbattery operation not supportedcurrent draw 10 mAdimensions (L x W x H) 120.65 x 63.50 x 57.15 mm / 4.75" x 2.50" x 2.25"weight ca. 263 g / 0.58 lbsmade in USA

The Hoof Fuzz is based on character of the classic green Russian muff. The Hoof germanium/silicon hybrid fuzz delivers a smooth, natural and harmonically rich sustain. It is capable of creating everything from dirty and organic overdrive to monstrous fuzz madness. The Shift control is its secret weapon of the Hoof. It changes the frequency response of the tone control, primarily on the treble side, making possible hollow sounding “scooped mids fuzz tones”. The Hoof features all analog operation and True Bypass. Hand built in Ohio, USA. The Hoof V2 uses silent relay-based soft touch switching.

The first position (No Diode OpAmp Drive) offers a rich drive at maximum volume. The second position uses two silicon diodes and a LED in an asymmetrical clipping configuration and produces a slightly compressed, smooth crunch reminiscent of an overdriven amp. The third position uses two silicon diodes and produces the classic 'white face' sound. The Octave-Up section is completely analogue and can be mixed with the distortion via a knob or an optional expression pedal. The monophonic effect works 'cleanest' with single notes above the 12th fret played through the neck pickup. Chords produce a chaotic, 'clanging' sound. Turning the Octave control all the way up, the Sunn O))) Life Pedal V3 produces a dirty, angry fuzz sound reminiscent of the Super Fuzz. The 'Magnitude' section is a MOSFET booster that drives tube amps into saturation. The booster works completely clean and adds no distortion to the signal itself, but offers an extremely high output level to push the front end of the amp. The signal path goes Octave > Distortion > Boost, and both sections can be used independently of each other.distortion / boost effects pedal with blendable analog octave up effectdesigned in cooperation with Sunn O))) to recreate 'Life Metal' front end sound and to drive the amplifier tubes3 different selectable clipping modes (symmetrical silicon / asymmetrical silicon and LED / no diode OpAmp drive)silent relay-based soft touch switching for both momentary and latching footswitch operationuses EQD's proprietary Flexi-Switch® technologytrue bypasscontrols for Magnitude, Octave, Clip, Distortion, Filter, Amplitude3-way rotary switch for three clipping modesMagnitude footswitch (Boost on/off), Octave footswitch (Octave on/off), Amplitude footswitch (Distortion on/off)status LEDsmetal housing6.3 mm mono in / output jacks6.3 mm expression pedal input to control octave up effectpower supply via optional 9V DC adapter, 2.1 x 5.5 mm barrel plug, polarity (-) centerbattery operation not supportedcurrent draw 15 mAdimensions (L x W x H) 120 x 146 x 38 mm / 4.75" x 5.75" x 1.5"weight 542 g / 1.195 lbs

The EarthQuaker Devices Plumes is based on the legendary green overdrive pedal, which has been the industry standard for decades. In combination with a good tube amp, the Plumes creates a warm, transparent saturation. EarthQuaker Devices relinquishes the trusted JRC4558 OpAmp and BJT Buffers and replaces them with low noise JFET OpAmps for a more robust and precise signal with a significantly lower noise floor. With 10 megohms of input impedance, the pedal provides a stronger signal with more clarity and chime. EarthQuaker Devices adjusted the cutoff of the tone control to deliver a more useful range of travel with more booming bass on the low end without sacrificing the cutting midrange and bright top end. In addition, the Plumes offers three selectable clipping modes to ensure that it will work with a wide variety of gear and playing styles. Mode 1 is symmetrical clipping based on a pair of LEDs. This is the crunchiest setting the Plumes has to offer. When played through a clean amp, it will deliver that classic crunchy valve amp tone. Mode 2 is a clean boost without soft clipping and with straight OpAmp drive, perfect for pushing your clean tone out in front or driving the preamp of an already overdriven amp into breakup saturation. Mode 3 is an asymmetrical silicon diode arrangement like an original screamer but with more output and clean clarity. The Plumes features EarthQuaker Devices relay-based 'soft touch' Flexi-Switch Technology for both momentary and latching footswitch operation.low to medium gain overdrive effects pedalunique approach to the legendary green overdrive pedal with more headroom, lower noise and significantly better signal integrity3 different selectable clipping modes (symmetrical LED, asymmetrical silicon, and no diode OpAmp drive)improved tone control to sculp low end, clear top end, and focused midrangeworks with electric guitars, basses and synthiessilent relay-based soft touch switching for both momentary and latching footswitch operationtrue bypasscontrols for Level, Tone, Gain3-way toggle switch for three clipping modesbypass footswitchstatus LEDmetal housing6.3 mm mono in / output jackspower supply via optional 9V DC adapter, 2.1 x 5.5 mm barrel plug, polarity (-) centerbattery operation not supportedcurrent draw 25 mAdimensions (D x W x H) 117 x 64 x 57 mmweight 396 g

The EarthQuaker Devices Special Cranker is an all-discrete analog distortion enhancement device designed to give your signal some extra grit and boost without drastically altering your tone and retaining all of the natural nuances and character of your amp. Think of it as sticking an extra preamp tube in your amplifier for more saturation. Single notes will blossom and bloom with rich harmonics and singing sustain with responsive, tube-like sag. Power chords will sound thicker and crunchier, a little more ragged around the edges. Complex chords will remain distinct and complex, as the Special Cranker is designed to preserve your tone's integrity without muddying up the low-end or smearing the midrange. The Special Cranker has the same spongy, dynamic, and touch-sensitive character of the popular EarthQuaker Devices Speaker Cranker but with more gain, double the output volume, an added Tone control to shape your signal, and a diode selector switch featuring the original asymmetrical Silicon diodes as well as a hot, new Germanium diode option. The More control goes from nearly clean to a medium gain overdrive when at maximum. The gain characteristics are dependent on which diodes are chosen. When the Germanium diodes are selected, the Special Cranker delivers a softer, more rounded response with tamed highs and lower output, while the Silicon diodes add a brighter, more modern edge and higher output. Both are exceptionally responsive to playing dynamics and have excellent clarity. The Tone control gives the user full command over treble frequencies, cutting the highs when counterclockwise and adding a slight high frequency boost when turned clockwise. The Level control adjusts the output from nothing to nearly double at maximum.boost / medium-gain overdrive effects pedalgives your signal extra grit and boost without drastically altering your tone retains all of the natural nuances and character of your amplifierexceptionally responsive and dynamic reaction to guitar's Volume controlflexible Tone control gives full command over the treble frequencies for excellent tone shaping and clarityMode toggle switch selects between two different clipping settings (Germanium / Silicon)Germanium mode delivers a softer, more rounded response with tamed highs and lower outputSilicon mode delivers a brighter, more modern response with higher outputall-analog signal pathsilent relay-based soft touch switching for both momentary and latching footswitch operation (Flexi-Switch Technology)true bypasscontrols for Level, Tone, MoreMode toggle switch (Ge / Si)bypass footswitchstatus LEDmetal housing6.3 mm mono in / output jackspower supply via optional 9-18 V DC adapter, 2.1 x 5.5 mm barrel plug, polarity (-) centerbattery operation not supportedcurrent draw 15 mAdimensions (L x W x H) 121 x 64 x 57 mm / 4.75" x 2.50" x 2.25"weight 425 g / 0.94 lbsMade in USA

Zoar™ is a highly interactive medium-high gain discrete distortion (using only transistors; no opamps or diodes in here!) that has that highly sought after touch sensitive amp-like quality. It has been finely tuned to create a highly tweakable hi-fi and modern sounding distortion, but with the ghosts of old school circuitry to deliver a grind that is both instantly familiar and delightfully unique. From defined sparkle and tightness of an overdrive to low-medium gain fuzz that’s perfect for drop tuned guitars and basses, Zoar can do it all. Zoar lets you dial in and control every nuance of your tone from jangly on-the-verge of break up to blowing the walls out heavy saturation. While having its roots in a very familiar past, the passive 3-band EQ has been finely tuned for modern tones. While this style of tone shaping seems simple on the surface, it is deceptively complex and highly interactive - yet surprisingly easy to instantly dial in dozens of mind blowing sounds. This meticulously crafted box has six knobs that allow you to truly customize your sound with the Level, Weight, Gain, Bass, Middle, and Treble controls. The Gain control on Zoar™ goes from the edge of break up all the way over the cliff into the crunchy, grinding abyss. The character of the distortion is heavily dependent on the setting of the Weight control as well as the pickup type and further fine-tuned by the EQ section. The 3-Band EQ and Gain controls give you nearly unlimited options with great focus and sensitive precision, but the real powerhouse of Zoar™ is the Weight control. This control dictates the amount of low end that is passed into the circuit, thus controlling the entire character of the pedal. Simply dial in the 3-Band EQ to 12 o’clock and adjust the Weight to see how drastically it dictates your sound. From a mere clean boost to a high gain distortion to overdrive to the crispy Hi-Fi fuzz territory, this function gives you everything. The Level control hits unity around noon, but this is dependent on where the other controls are set. In addition to controlling the output volume, it also plays a small part in controlling the voice of Zoar™. By adjusting the Level control with any combination of EQ (boosting the frequency bands and cutting the output volume), you can achieve drastically different curves that have the feel of the more traditional low pass filter type tone control. Want to elevate your sonic spirit to a higher level? Try running Zoar™ at higher voltage! Zoar™ can handle power up to 18v DC. Higher voltages will yield a different frequency response with more defined dynamics and a faster response. When powered at 18v, the range of clean tones are widened, dirty tones become punchier with better note articulation, low frequencies are tightened, higher frequencies will cover a broader spectrum without becoming harsh and the output volume nearly doubles! The experience is not unlike plugging into a wall of high wattage tube amplifiers!Overdrive / Distortion effect pedalextremely interactive medium-high gain discrete transistor based distortionpassive 3-band EQ tuned for modern dirt toneswide range of tones available, not just high gain distortionthe Weight control dictates the amount of low end that is passed into the circuitcapable of being articulate and/or crushing on both guitar and basssilent relay-based switching with Flexi-Switch technologycontrols for Level, Weight, Gain, Bass, Middle, TrebleBypass footswitchstatus LEDmetal housing6.3 mm mono jack input / outputpower supply via optional 9V - 18V DC power supply, 2.1 x 5.5 mm barrel plug, polarity (-) insidebattery operation not supportedcurrent draw 10 mAdimensions (L x W x H) 127 x 64 x 57 mm / 5.25" x 2.5" X 2.25"weight 286 g / 0.63 lbshand made in USA
