Das Erupter ist das Resultat von über zwei Jahren an Tone-Chasing, Basteln und Experimentieren auf der Suche danach was EarthQuaker Boss und Produkt-Designer Jamie Stillman "den ultimativen Classic Fuzz Tone ... mit fettem Low End, aber nicht zu matschig, einem beißenden Top-End ohne zu harsch zu klingen und gerade genug Output um deinen Röhren-Amp über die Kante zu kitzeln" nennt. In der Entwicklung des Erupters setzte Jamie jeden Trick ein, den er sich über die Jahre angeeignet hatte und schuf ein Fuzz, das mit jedem Pickup gut klingt, egal wo in der Effektkette, sogar vor einem Wah Pedal, ganz ohne Impedanz Mismatching. Denn das Erupter nutzt eine gebufferte Eingangs-Sektion, eine transformator-basierte Pickup Simulation, neue 5% ½ Watt Kohleschicktwiderstände, Kunststoff-Folienkondensatoren, Sprague und BC Elektrolytkondensatoren und low-gain hand-gematchte NOS Silizium Transistoren, um einen "abgerundeten, definierten Fuzz-Tone mit durchschlagender Intensität" zu liefern.

The Erupter is the result of over two years' worth of tone-chasing, tweaking, and experimentation in search of what EarthQuaker president and product designer Jamie Stillman calls "the ultimate classic fuzz tone . . . with a big low end, but not too mushy, a biting top end without being too harsh, and just enough output to politely send a tube amp over the top". In developing the Erupter, Stillman used every trick he ever learned to craft a fuzz device that sounds good with any pickup type anywhere in the effects chain, even before a wah pedal, and without any impedance mismatching. To this end, the Erupter uses a buffered input section, transformer-based pickup simulation, new production 5% ½ watt carbon composition resistors, metallized polyester film capacitors, Sprague and BC electrolytic capacitors, and low-gain, hand-matched NOS silicon transistors to deliver a "well-rounded and defined fuzz tone with just enough pummeling intensity."

Erupter

Der Bit Commander ist ein analoger, monofoner Gitarrensynthesizer, mit vier Oktaven und einem Vintage-Rechteckwellen-Tongenerator. Aus einem normalen, einstimmigen Gitarrenton wird im Handumdrehen ein fetter Vintage-Synthesizer-Sound. Unabhängige Regelmöglichkeiten stehen zur Verfügung für Sub-Oktave, Down 1, Up 1, Base (Originaltonhöhe), Level (Master Volume) und Filter (Tonblende). Auch das Original-Signal wird teilweise durch den Rechteckwellengenerator geschickt und lässt sich separat im Pegel regeln. Der Bit Commander verfügt über einen True Bypass und wird in Handarbeit in Ohio/USA hergestellt. Der Bit Commander V2 verfügt über einen geräuschlosen, relais-basierten Soft-Touch Fußschalter. Audiosignale haben keinen Durchgang, wenn das Gerät nicht mit Strom versorgt wird.

The Bit Commander is a monophonic analog guitar synthesizer with four octaves of vintage square wave synth tones. So it takes a normal single guitar note and turns it into a fat vintage synth sound in no time. The Bit Commander features independent controls for Sub-octave, Down 1, Up 1, Base (original pitch), Level (Master Volume) and Filter (tone control). So, the original signal is partially passed through the square wave generator and can be separately regulated vie the Level control. The Bit Commander is a True Bypass pedal and is hand made in Ohio, USA. The Bit Commander V2 uses silent relay-based soft touch switching. Audio will not pass without power.

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.

The Zap Machine is back! We released the original Zap Machine as an exclusive limited run item for the now defunct Fat Tone Guitars in 2010, there were fewer than 25 made. It was always a favorite around the shop but it used a very specific, hard to find germanium transistor and various NOS parts that were integral to the sound. We recently found about 350 of these transistors and set to work updating the circuit for a larger limited release exclusively for Prymaxe! Each Zap Machine is dated and numbered and comes with a hand signed certificate of authenticity

The Zap Machine V2 is a dual channel, silicon/germanium hybrid dirt device. It has an extremely wide and dynamic range from near clean boost with the gain at minimum on the low gain Green Channel through gigantic overloaded distortion tones with gain at maximum on the high gain Red Channel. The Bass control adjusts the low frequencies coming into the Zap Machine and the Treble control adjusts the high frequencies coming out. This unique tone arrangement allows for different flavors of boost, drive, distortion and fuzz that are not commonly heard from transistor based dirt devices. It is very “amp-like” in response to picking dynamics, saturation and clean up. With two foot switchable channels of dirt available, the Zap Machine can easily take over the duties of at least 2 or 3 pedals on your pedal board! Leave it on the green channel for your overdrive/boost needs and kick on the red channel for your distortion/fuzz tones. Just like the first version, the Zap Machine V2 features a more rugged, vintage amplifier inspired design with NOS carbon composition resistors and big high voltage caps along with a NOS low gain germanium transistor. We tried to build it with our standard parts but it just didn’t sound the same. The Zap Machine is true bypass, all discrete analog circuitry and handmade one and a time in wintery Akron, Ohio.
