Sound Shank
The Sound Shank is an aggressive germanium fuzz device based on the vintage “Buzzaround” fuzz device. Loads of gain textures on tap through the use of the Sustain control, from subtle grit with loose ends through a tight and focused crunch. The Timbre takes it from paper thin AM radio waves through big, bottom heavy grind and the level shoots it all through your amp with more than enough to spare. This version of the Sound Shank differs from the earlier units. It has been updated for a wider gain range, negative ground for the use of a standard power supply and top mounted jacks. The Sound Shank is true bypass, all discrete analog circuitry and handmade one and a time in buzzy Akron, Ohio. Each Sound Shank is dated and numbered and come with a hand signed certificate of authenticity.

Das Aqueduct verwendet eine kurze Delay-Line mit acht Modulationsmodi, um sanfte amp-artig schwellende Pitch-Wobbles, stetig kosmisches Pulsieren, schnelle Triller, schleimigen sonaren Wackelpudding, Whammy Bar Gewackel, Pitch Bends und alles andere, was dein Pitch-Warp-Gehirn sich sonst noch ausdenken kann, zu erzeugen. Mit acht wählbaren Modulations-Modi bietet das Aqueduct eine Vielzahl von tonhöhen-verändernden Vibratotönen, die an nahezu jede musikalische Situation angepasst werden können. Die Modi "Sine", "Triangle", "Ramp" und "Square" bieten eine bewährte Tonhöhenmodulation für Musiker, die ihrer Musik subtile und organische Texturen hinzufügen möchten. Der Zufallsmodus führt bei niedrigen Einstellungen zu einem "verzogenem Schallplatten-Effekt" und würfelt mit zunehmender Depth-Einstellung unvorhersehbare fette Pitch-Bends quer durcheinander. Für Anwender, die auf der Suche nach einem dynamischen und berührungsempfindlichen Vibrato-Erlebnis sind, ermöglichen die Envelope-Modi des Aqueduct die interaktive Kontrolle über die Depth, Rate und Tonhöhe des Vibratos, indem einfach härter oder sanfter angeschlagen wird. Darüber hinaus verfügt das Aqueduct auch über die proprietäre Flexi-Switch-Funktion von EarthQuaker Devices, mit der du im Handumdrehen zwischen Momentary Modus und traditionellem Latching wählen kannst.

Aqueduct uses a short delay line with eight modulation modes to deliver gentle amp-like rolling pitch-wobbles, steady kosmiche pulsations, rapid trills, slimy sonic squiggles, whammy bar wiggles, pitch bends, and anything else your pitch-warped brain can picture in your murky mind’s eye. With eight modulation modes to choose, Aqueduct offers a variety of pitch-shifting vibrato tones adaptable to nearly any musical situation. Sine, Triangle, Ramp, and Square modes provide tried-and-true pitch modulation for players wanting to add subtle and organic textures to their music. Random mode introduces a “warped record” effect at low settings and rolls the dice on an unpredictable assortment of greasy pitch-bends as the Depth is increased. For players on the hunt for a dynamic and touch-sensitive Vibrato experience, Aqueduct’s Envelope modes allow for interactive control over the Depth, Rate, and pitch of the vibrato by simply playing harder or softer. It is also the latest pedal to feature EarthQuaker Devices proprietary Flexi-Switch feature which allows users to select between momentary and traditional latching-style switching in the moment and on the fly.

Das EarthQuaker Devices Afterneath Eurorack Module bringt die außergewöhnlichen Sounds aus der Welt der Effektpedale direkt in deinen modularen Synthesizer - wie man es von EarthQuaker Devices kennt natürlich mit jeder Menge Features. Das Afterneath Module hat jeweils einen Main Audio In- und Output, einen Audio Send und Return für den Reflect Feedback Signalweg und neun Regelmöglichkeiten. Vier Effekt-Parameter lassen sich über Steuerspannung (CV) kontrollieren und verfügen zusätzlich über separate Dämpfer ('Attenuverter') die die eingehende Steuerspannung dämpfen oder invertieren. Das Afterneath Module hat einen komplett analogen Dry Signal Path und einen komplett digitalen Wet Signal Path. Das Modul bietet ein extrem breites Spektrum an unterschiedlichen, riesigen, ausladenden und magischen Ambient-Reverbs und deckt von wilden, verschlungenen Hall-Effekten über atmosphärische, kurze, digitale Delays bis zu Staccato-artigen, rhythmischen Wiederholungen mit bizarren Sounds alle denkbaren Effekte ab. Die Regelmöglichkeiten für Length (Länge des Nachhalls), Dampen (Tone), Reflect (Depth, Regeneration) und Mix (Wet/Dry-Mix) sind bekannte Parameter bei Hall-Effekten und arbeiten sehr intuitiv. Der Diffuse-Regler kontrolliert die Streuung des Nachhalls und ermöglicht je nach Setting aggressivere Sounds, bei denen das Einsetzen der einzelnen Wiederholungen deutlicher hörbar oder weicher und verwaschener wird. Der Drag-Regler trennt die digitalen Delay-Gruppen voneinander. So rücken den Repeats je nach Setting näher aneinander (Hall-ähnlicher Effekt) oder werden auseinander gezogen, sodass statt eines Halls verstreute Ping-Pong-Effekte zu hören sind.

The EarthQuaker Devices Afterneath Eurorack Module brings the Otherworldly sounds from the effects pedal world right into your modular synthesizer with an expanded feature set. The Afterneath module features one main audio input, one main audio output, an audio send and return for the Reflect feedback path, and nine controls. Four of the parameters are controllable via CV, and each has been equipped with a dedicated attenuverter to process the incoming CV. The Afterneath module has a completely analog dry signal path and a totally digital wet signal path. The module offers an extremely wide range of different, vast, expansive, and magical ambient reverbs and covers all possible effects from wild and cavernous reverb effects to atmospheric reverberations of short digital delays to scattered, rhythmic delays with bizarre characteristics. The controls for Length (decay length of the reverb), Dampen (tone), Reflect (depth, regeneration) and Mix (wet/dry mix) are well-known parameters for reverb effects and work very intuitively. The Diffuse knob smooths and diffuses the delay repeats. Sharper transients with more attack counterclockwise, more ambient, reverb-like and washy as you turn it clockwise. Drag separates the individual digital delay lines, clockwise positions will gather the delay lines close together for a more reverb-like effect. Turn the Drag counterclockwise, and the delay lines will begin to pull apart for a scattered ping-pong delay effect.

A modern interpretation of the rare 1970s Swedish guitar pedal known as the Carlin Compressor, the Norrsken is no ordinary fuzz pedal. It features a versatile array of squishy fuzz tones and an active 3-band EQ for exceptional tone-shaping flexibility.

The Norrsken is equipped with six controls: Compression, Fuzz, Volume, Bass, Mids, and Treble. It includes a soft touch buffered bypass switching system and is powered by a standard 9-volt negative center external DC adapter (no battery compartment).

The Norrsken is the latest in a series of impactful projects. In 2023, Electric Love released Aquatone, a groundbreaking collaboration with Brian Wampler where over $15,000 was donated to BCRF. The company’s commitment to cancer research began in 2022 with the launch of a trio of innovative pedals aimed at raising awareness and funds for this critical cause.

Norrsken Fuzz

Congratulations on your new Terminal! Are you ready to take the stairs to the top of the tallest tower of fuzz? You are now.

The Terminal is our take on the elusive vintage JAX fuzz. These units are increasingly hard to come by, and are better known by most of us as the Shin-Ei Companion Fuzz. We love the Companion Fuzz’s unique buzzy sound, but the lack of output volume and EQ controls really got us down. So, we’ve taken the Companion Fuzz design three steps further, adding “Voice” and “Treble” controls, along with twenty stories’ worth of output volume to erect the Terminal.

The “Voice” control adjusts the Terminal’s midrange focus and overall frequency response. Clockwise you’ll hear vertigo-inducing upper mids with an almost nasal, cocked-wah quality. Counter-clockwise you’ll find enough low-mid thickness to make even your wildest Siamese Dreams come true.

The “Treble” knob controls the Terminal’s biting top end. This control is especially interactive with the “Voice” knob, so it’s anything but “set and forget.” At the low end of the dial, you’ll find muted, subdued fuzz tones that sit back in the mix and play nice. Crank it up, and you’ll hear searing blown-out buzzsaw treble sharp enough to cut glass.  

“Fuzz.” That’s why we’re here today, isn’t it? The Terminal’s “Fuzz” control has a wide sweep for causing all sorts of mayhem. Keep the “Fuzz” low and you’ll find “separated, ”spitty garage tones, and plenty of “satisfaction,” as the Terminal just wants to be your dog. Take the “Fuzz” all the way to the top floor, and you’ll hear a thick, searing grind with a unique attack envelope and loads of sustain. Between these three interactive controls, you’ll find a wide range of fuzz tones at your disposal.

The Terminal is true-bypass, uses archaic all-analog circuitry, and is built one-at-a-time by a team of basketball champions in rubbery Akron, Ohio, USA.
