Earthquaker Devices?

[JoshuaTSP]

Not too much talk about them. I did my searches.

Any thoughts on these pedals?

Seems like everyone gives them glowing reviews, but sells them eventually?

Were they just a fad?

This is a really great company. I like a lot of their pedals. I currently use a Hoof fuzz, it's like a Sovtek Big Muff but much smoother and articulate.

For a more overdrive/distortion tones the Monarch is pretty cool, especially since it's circuit is based on an Orange overdrive circuit. Other personal favorites include the Disaster Transport delay, Ghost Echo reverb, and the Hummingbird tremolo. Really excellent construction and really sweet guys, they've been very helpful when I emailed them. Definitely worth checking out.

I'm not really one for fads, I like what I like and though my tastes may change somewhat and I might need different gear for different bands/projects, my opinions on pedals rarely does.

And so I feel the same way about the Earthquaker pedals I've tried. I think the Grand Orbiter is a great "pulsey" phaser that has an interesting thick sound and works fantastic with dirt and the Hummingbird is an awesome simple trem for doing hard chops.

The Hoof has gotten some love, but not being a Muff fan I haven't tried it.

I'm not a huge chorus fan but their new one sounds good from what I've heard and it seems like a good choice for someone looking to do more seasick like modulation, especially for electronica sounds. I'd love to try one out.

In short, I think Earthquaker makes good stuff.
