Das Erupter ist das Resultat von über zwei Jahren an Tone-Chasing, Basteln und Experimentieren auf der Suche danach was EarthQuaker Boss und Produkt-Designer Jamie Stillman "den ultimativen Classic Fuzz Tone ... mit fettem Low End, aber nicht zu matschig, einem beißenden Top-End ohne zu harsch zu klingen und gerade genug Output um deinen Röhren-Amp über die Kante zu kitzeln" nennt. In der Entwicklung des Erupters setzte Jamie jeden Trick ein, den er sich über die Jahre angeeignet hatte und schuf ein Fuzz, das mit jedem Pickup gut klingt, egal wo in der Effektkette, sogar vor einem Wah Pedal, ganz ohne Impedanz Mismatching. Denn das Erupter nutzt eine gebufferte Eingangs-Sektion, eine transformator-basierte Pickup Simulation, neue 5% ½ Watt Kohleschicktwiderstände, Kunststoff-Folienkondensatoren, Sprague und BC Elektrolytkondensatoren und low-gain hand-gematchte NOS Silizium Transistoren, um einen "abgerundeten, definierten Fuzz-Tone mit durchschlagender Intensität" zu liefern.

The Erupter is the result of over two years' worth of tone-chasing, tweaking, and experimentation in search of what EarthQuaker president and product designer Jamie Stillman calls "the ultimate classic fuzz tone . . . with a big low end, but not too mushy, a biting top end without being too harsh, and just enough output to politely send a tube amp over the top". In developing the Erupter, Stillman used every trick he ever learned to craft a fuzz device that sounds good with any pickup type anywhere in the effects chain, even before a wah pedal, and without any impedance mismatching. To this end, the Erupter uses a buffered input section, transformer-based pickup simulation, new production 5% ½ watt carbon composition resistors, metallized polyester film capacitors, Sprague and BC electrolytic capacitors, and low-gain, hand-matched NOS silicon transistors to deliver a "well-rounded and defined fuzz tone with just enough pummeling intensity."

Erupter

Das EQD Arrows ist ein diskret (ohne ICs bzw. OP-Amps) aufgebauter Booster, der den Mittenbereich verstärkt, die Bässe strafft und den Höhenbereich stärker schimmern lässt. Das Arrows bietet sich beispielsweise zum Aufhellen dunkel klingender Hals-Pickups an. Außerdem lässt das Arrows basslastige Fuzz-Pedale straffer klingen. Trotz seines einen Reglers also ein sehr vielseitiger und vor allem nützlicher Booster, der super auch als zusätzlicher Lead-Kanal benutzt werden kann, indem er Pegel, Mitten und Sustain anhebt bzw. fördert. Der Arrows verfügt über True Bypass und eine geräuschlose relais-basierte Soft-Touch Schaltung. Er ist mit stirnseitigen Buchsen und einem neuen ausgestattet und wird in Ohio, USA hand-gefertigt.

The EQD Arrows its a discrete (no ICs or OP-amps) tone sculpting booster, it boosts the midrange, tightens up the low end and makes the top end shine. The Arrows can be used for example to brighten up neck pickups, you can also use the Arrows to tighten up the sound of bass heavy fuzz pedals. Despite its single knob it is a very versatile and useful booster which can be used as well as an additional lead channel, increasing and/or improving Level, Mids and Sustain. The Arrow is true bypass with a silent relay-based switch, equipped with top-mounted jacks and a new enclosure and is hand made in Ohio, USA.

The Warden ist ein analoges Kompressor-Pedal mit klassischer Opto-Elektronikschaltung in kompromissloser Studioqualität. Auch bei The Warden setzt EarthQuaker Devices auf High-Grade-Bauteile. The Warden ist ein dank seiner sechs Regelmöglichkeiten (Tone, Level, Sustain, Ratio, Attack und Release) äußerst vielseitig einstellbares Kompressor-Pedal. Von einer kaum wahrnehmbaren, aber wirkungsvollen Kompression bis hin zu heftig komprimierten Tönen mit schnellem Attack reicht das Spektrum von The Warden. Die 9V-Netzgerätespannung wird intern in 18V umgewandelt, was für erweiterten Headroom und gesteigerte Dynamik sorgt. Die Opto-elektronische Schaltung bewirkt eine charakterstarke Kompression und der Tone-Regler ermöglicht sowohl Treble-Boosts als auch Treble-Cuts. The Warden ist mit einem True Bypass ausgestattet und wird in Handarbeit in Ohio/USA hergestellt. Der Warden V2 verfügt über einen geräuschlosen, relais-basierten Soft-Touch Fußschalter. Audiosignale haben keinen Durchgang, wenn das Gerät nicht mit Strom versorgt wird.

The Warden is an analog, optical compressor with a feature set usually reserved for studio grade units. Like all EarthQuaker Devices pedals it is built only with high grade components. The Warden is, thanks to its six controls (Tone, Level, Sustain, Ratio, Attack and Release), an extremely versatile and adjustable compressor pedal. The Warden will allow everything from a heavy squash with fast attack and release to barely there subtle compression. The 9V power supply voltage will be internally converted to 18V giving loads of headroom and extended dynamism. The optical electronic circuit delivers a compression with more character and the Tone control allows for treble boosts and cuts. The Warden is true bypass and handmade in Ohio/USA. The Warden V2 uses silent relay-based soft touch switching. Audio will not pass without power.

The Warden v2

The Wave Transformer is an analog, vintage-voiced, voltage-controlled oscillator with over 8 octaves of accurate pitch tracking. It has 7 simultaneous wave outputs, including a unique Complex output.

The Transform control morphs from a basic waveform through many strange iterations into a complex, gnarled mass of audio mutations at the Complex output. You can yield countless variations on these permutations by combining this novel circuit with Hard Sync, Soft Sync, Linear FM and Exponential FM. Additionally, you can mute the source waveform to use the circuit as a harmonic gate/VCA, rendering The Wave Transformer a voice unto itself. If that is not enough, there is a Shape Insert that allows you to transform external oscillations and modular-level audio sources.

Dirt Transmitter™
Fuzz Driver
BEGIN COMMUNIQUE . . . Attn: guitarists of the planet Earth . . . if you need to dirty your signal’s transmission, aim your satellites in the direction of the Dirt Transmitter fuzz driver from EarthQuaker Devices. . . . <<<

>>> . . . The Dirt Transmitter uses rare-Earth precious Silicon metal transistors for a biting top-end response and higher gain than germanium, making it better suited for the modern fuzz tones of today . . . and the future. . . <<<

>>> . . . The “Bias” control starves the transistors of necessary electrical current, resulting in a gated, or “dying battery” sound for space-age Velcro-like fuzz tones. . . . This causes a primitive, sputtering, grimy effect akin to vintage (by Earthling standards) analog synthesizers . . . <<<

>>> . . . Place your puny humanoid hands upon the “Tone” control to alter the high-frequency content and overall harmonic contour of the Dirt Transmitter. . . . Positioned clockwise, you will hear bright, cutting tones which stretch the limits of your earthling ears. . . . Counterclockwise, the Dirt Transmitter emits creamy, mellow tones with singing sustain and a pleasant high-frequency roll-off . . . <<<

>>> . . . The Dirt Transmitter has gobs of gain and a low noise-floor, making it exceptional for stacking with other overdrive and fuzz pedals to boost its broadcast range . . . .  <<<

>>> . . . Every Dirt Transmitter is true-bypass, with archaic all-analog circuitry, and built one-at-a-time by a crack team of cryptozoology enthusiasts in the crop circles surrounding Akron, Ohio, USA – THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE . . . <<<
