Overdrive with Lots of Sound-shaping Potential

Plug your guitar in to the EarthQuaker Devices Talons overdrive pedal, set your amp at its breakup point, and you're well on your way toward crafting your own distinctive tone. Talons isn't designed to mimic the sound of classic gear; it's got its own character and plenty of sound-shaping controls, like a 3-band EQ with a wide boost/cut range, and a Presence control for dialing in the perfect amount of tenacity. Whether you use it for its overdrive sound or use its generous volume control to punch your amp into its own overdrive, you'll be pleased with the EarthQuaker Devices Talons overdrive on your pedalboard.

Accepts 9-volt and 18-volt power supplies for two distinct flavors

On top of its tone-shaping controls, you can alter the tone of the EarthQuaker Devices Talons overdrive just based on what type of power supply you use. With a standard 9-volt power supply or battery, EarthQuaker Devices describes the sound as a "warmer, amp-like tone." With an 18-volt power supply, you get more clean headroom and a slightly "tighter" sound. Vintage tone hounds will probably prefer the 9-volt sound, and players seeking a more modern sound may prefer an 18-volt power supply.

From the pedal gurus at EarthQuaker Devices

EarthQuaker Devices is a boutique pedal company based out of Akron, Ohio. They put all of their focus on building tools for musicians to find their own tone. Their designs range from enhanced classics to pedals that have never been seen or heard before. Company founder Jamie Stillman was working with rock band the Black Keys when he came upon a design that kick-started the company's success. EarthQuaker Devices is committed to helping you find your tone with high-quality products at great prices.
