EarthQuaker Devices Spires fuzz effect
Product no: 9000-0023-4206 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The Earthquaker Devices Spires is a rugged fuzz pedal, inspired by the classic Rosac Nu Fuzz from 1968. Use it for anything from grand, warm tones to over-the-top, virtually uncontrollable gain. The Spires stomp box delivers high output without affecting the original sound and character of your amplifier and guitar too much. Its Red channel activates a fuzz based on the Dream Crusher, allowing you to follow in the noise-filled footsteps of legends like Jimi Hendrix and Jack White. This Earthquaker Devices stomp box 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!
