The Hoof Reaper features our popular Hoof and Tone Reaper fuzz pedals in one handy enclosure with the added bonus of an old school analog octave up. It was originally released as a special limited run item back in 2010 and demand was so high that we decided to reintroduce it back into our line on a semipermanent basis. This device will be manufactured in limited quantities.

EQD.Talons


$195.00 + Shipping

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.

Controls

Treble: Noon is flat, boost is clockwise from noon, cut is counter clockwise from noon.
Middle: Noon is flat, boost is clockwise from noon, cut is counter clockwise from noon.
Bass: Noon is flat, boost is clockwise from noon, cut is counter clockwise from noon.
Presence: Adjusts the top end and upper mids to control the amount of “sizzle” in the dirt. Turn clockwise for a brighter tone, counter clockwise to mellow it out.
Gain: Preamp volume control. Controls the amount of dirt available, from clean to heavy crunch.
Level: Master volume control. There is a lot of level on tap, please adjust accordingly.

EQD.Monarch



We get a lot of questions on this more than fantastic overdrive by EarthQuaker Devices and as OD's go it's on of the best not to mention one of our personal favorites. 


Monarch Overdrive
The Monarch Overdrive is an all discrete, FET based dirt machine. It’s designed around the input stage of a vintage amp produced by a company that bears the same name as the color of the monarch (hint...). It’s been configured to produce higher gains that sound very natural and free of compression. The treble and bass controls function as frequency boosters, not the traditional roll off filters in most OD’s. They are located in the preamp section and have a large impact on the over all tone, nature and distortion characteristics of the pedal as well as your amp. It gives big bottom end with a snappy, bright top at all gain ranges with some careful tuning of the tone controls. If you are looking for an overdrive for big fat chords with excellent low end retention, this is it! And, yes, it's true bypass.

Handmade with sweet loving care in Akron Ohio.

EQD.Tone.Job




$145.00 U.S.
The newest creation from EarthQuaker Devices is here!



Tone Job
Welcome to the Tone Job, a complete tone enhancement tool designed around a stereo preamp to cover as much frequency range as possible. What does this mean for you, the user? It means it can handle a wide variety of frequencies from electrical guitars, bass guitar, synthesizer machines and just about anything else you can plug in. The treble, bass and middle controls can cut or boost up to 20db. In addition to that, the level control will boost the signal (post EQ) up to 5 times the input depending on where the dial is set. It's very plug and play and easy to dial in on all applications.


Controls

Level: Post EQ volume control. Can boost the signal up to 5x the input. Unity is around 10 O’ Clock. 

Treble: Noon is flat, boost is clockwise from noon, cut is counter clockwise from noon.

Bass: Noon is flat, boost is clockwise from noon, cut is counter clockwise from noon.

Middle: Noon is flat, boost is clockwise from noon, cut is counter clockwise from noon.


Treble affects frequencies from around 2k Hz up, bass affects frequencies from around 500 Hz down. The middle is an adjustable resonant filter acting as a mid-range control with it’s center frequency around 1k Hz. Treble and bass response are dependent on middle control settings.
