The newest from EarthQuaker Devices is here!
The Talons is an extremely versatile overdrive with options of a clean OD all the way to heavy metal and everything in between. In EarthQuaker style this all handmade machine will not break the bank, coming in at just $195.
From EQD: "The Talons Overdrive is a project we have been working on for a long time at EQD. After nearly a year of variations and fine tuning we finally nailed the versatility we were after! It very well may be the best and most useful go-to overdrive we have ever heard! Embracing best-of-breed functionalities, it features a full active tone stack, a presence control for sculpting the top end and more gain than one should ever need from an overdrive in a very compact format. Unlike all our other overdrives, the Talons was not designed to emulate any specific sound or era. It can be glassy and open, scooped and chunky, gritty and wild, light and airy, drunk and unhinged... Maximize your visionary functionalities with the Talons! Artwork by the legendary Dan Grzeca!"
The Talons is an ultra flexible dirt machine that can go from clean to crunch and everything in between with a swift turn of the gain control. Add to that a powerful active 3 band equalization sector and some top end contour via the presence control and you’ve got one versatile little buddy at your disposal. Unlike all our other overdrives, the Talons was not designed to emulate any specific sound or era. It can be glassy and open, scooped and chunky, gritty and wild, light and airy, drunk and unhinged… it will not disappoint you.
True Bypass and Handmade with sweet loving care in Akron, Ohio.
Measures
4 5/8″ x 2 1/2″ x 2.25″ with knobs
Power
A standard 9-18 volt DC power supply intended for musical instruments with a negative center 2.1mm barrel. 18v will yield higher headroom with a slightly brighter, stronger tone and more volume. We strongly recommend a high quality power supply with isolated outputs and good filtering to avoid unwanted noise. Will also run off a 9v battery for you olde tymee types.
