Product information

General

The Earthquaker Devices Bows Germanium preamp is a versatile booster pedal with only a single knob. No wonder it's so easy to use! With the Bows, you'll be able to create anything from a warm woolly tone to an edgy, treble-filled sound. The stomp box has two modes - Full and Treble - enabling you to switch between various frequency zones. Whether you're going for a solo that cuts through any mix or a low rhythm part that's capable of shaking the floors, this pedal is the one for you. You can even create harmonic overtones by turning the treble mode all the way up; fans of Jimi Hendrix's Octafuzz in particular will love this great bonus. The Earthquaker Devices Bows is powered by means of a 9-volt battery or adapter.

Earthquaker Devices

The American company Earthquaker Devices originated in 2004, more or less by accident. When devoted musician Jamie Stillman broke one of the potentiometers on his favourite overdrive pedal, he decided to fix it himself. Once he opened up the pedal, he quickly got the hang of the circuitry, which induced him to start creating his own stomp boxes. Stillman turned out to be very talented, and it wasn't long before other musicians started using his pedals. From 2004 to 2010, Stillman was tour manager and guitar tech for the Black Keys, and partly responsible for Dan Auerbach's sound. In 2005 he launched Earthquaker Devices, which by now has grown into a sizeable company that manufactures handwired, boutique-style guitar effect pedals for a very reasonably price. Built by musicians, for musicians!

EarthQuaker Devices Bows

Wat een top pedaal! Laat je niet bedriegen door de naam treble booster, het zijn vooral de upper mids die geboost worden. Dit werkt heerlijk met een wat donkere buizenversterker a la Marshall. Switch naar je midden pickup en je gaat zelfs wat octaaf overtones horen! Zoals met germanium transistors kun je het gitaarvolume gebruiken om van overdrive naar volledig clean te gaan. Er zit ook nog een full range mode op. Deze boost het hele spectrum en is dus beter geschikt voor amps met veel top end. In mijn oren worden de lagere frequenties harder geboost in deze. Al in al en top pedaaltje voor een redelijke prijs.
