EarthQuaker Talons High Gain Overdrive
EarthQuaker Devices believe that effects pedals should be simple and user-friendly, with lots of practical, useable, and musical sounds, but should also be a launchpad for sonic exploration and aural innovation. Most of all, they should always work correctly all of the time, which is why each and every single EarthQuaker Devices pedal is hand built and hand tested right here in the USA. They are also guaranteed for life.
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.

Reviews & Artist Info | Akron, Ohio, based EarthQuaker Devices has been handwiring effects for nearly a decade. And in that time, the company has carved out an enviable position in the boutique market. The company’s sense of craftsmanship, dedicated customer service, and a product line that is the equivalent of a stompbox candy store has helped EarthQuaker build a legion of fans. Founder Jamie Stillman was once a tour-manager and tech for the Black Keys, and his keen ears and broad tastes have produced an enormous amount of work, ranging from an evolutionary Big Muff-inspired circuit (the Hoof) to a wildly unique polyphonic harmonizing modulation generator (the Rainbow Machine) ... and just about everything else in between. While EarthQuaker already counts several overdrive pedals—including the Monarch, Speaker Cranker, and White Light—among their product ranks, at Summer NAMM 2012 they introduced yet another: the Talons. And where the Monarch, White Light, and Speaker Cranker generate more vintage-flavored tones, the Talons has a sonic personality all its own. Its impressive array of controls make this one of the most malleable ODs on the market, one that can produce sounds ranging from natural crunch to cleaner drive. Razor-Sharp Design There’s something nice about having less control over a box. You can throw your amp on stage, root out a few pedals and with a tweak or two, dial in that tone you fell in love with during long hours of practice. But there’s also reward in mastering that super-gizmo that can push your playing experience from great to fascinating and your tone palate from familiar to expansive.
