So in a move that is slightly reminiscent of OBNE, EarthQuaker Devices has rolled out its own utility pedals line - mostly small in stature with simple yet useful topologies.
I typically like for my buffer to be foot-switchable, but don’t mind that the Buffer/Preamp here is an always-on type. The 2-way Buffer Splitter is another handy always-on utility - before we come to the 3 switchable ones. A cool mini powered A/B box and larger passive ABY variety. And then the dearest one of the bunch - a handy dual send/return loop pedal.
I personally don’t have a need for any of these currently, but appreciate they’re going to useful for many - while there are quite a few specifically utility pedal brands already out their - Like Brighton’s Bright Onion Pedals.
These are smartly engineered and well priced, and incredibly simple in use - where say TheGigRig somewhat expands the range of features. Interesting Black & White Geometric designs here too - which I would aren’t readily associated with the EQD Brand. And interesting departure nevertheless. I’m guessing Jamie needed some for his own purposes - and then thought he might as well make them available to everyone!
Everything here is very straightforward and priced very reasonably indeed. You need to make up your minds as to how much you like those new artworks!
Other than that, there is not much more to say - obviously high quality devices, reasonably priced!
You can read up further on the EarthQuaker Devices website!
NOTE - there is finally a release video now - which has been added below.
