EarthQuaker Devices Announces A New Line of Utility Pedals

EarthQuaker Devices is excited to bring their craftsmanship, creative design, and artistic flair to the utility pedal category. All five new products are built using high quality components that will withstand years of use and come with a lifetime warranty to back it up. And their small footprint won’t take up much real estate on your pedalboard. They will be available at dealers worldwide on Thursday, October 24th, 2024.

A/B Box

The EarthQuaker Devices A/B Box is a simple, tiny tool that lets you choose between two of pretty much anything. Because of its completely passive design, there is no circuitry between the input and outputs which means it can be use in both directions. Use it to switch between two amps! Switch between two channels on a multi-channel amp! Use it as tuner out/mute switch! Switch between two instruments! Run a dry path and a wet path! The time to passively choose is now!

• USA Retail Price: $69.00
• Dimensions: 3.6875 x 1.8125 x 1.8125 inches
• Current Draw: 10 mA

Passive ABY Box

The EarthQuaker Devices Passive ABY box is the perfect solution if you can’t decide when and where you would like your signal to go. In its most basic form, this passive little box is commonly used to run a single input out to two destinations and lets you choose between using either individually or both at the same time. The most common problem and ABY is used to solve is one input being sent to out to two amplifiers but it doesn’t have to stop there! Because of its completely passive circuitry it can also be used in reverse to choose between two inputs to a single output. Use it to simultaneously run two different instruments to one source input! An oboe and a bass, a keyboard and a harmonica, a lute and a modular synth… you know, whatever! This compact little device has a small footprint and won’t take up much real estate on your board and is built using high quality parts that will withstand years of use and keep going.

• USA Retail Price: $79.00
• Dimensions: 4.4375 x 2.875 x 1.875 inches
• Current Draw: 60 mA

Buffer/Preamp

A buffer is an important tool to combat tone loss with long cable runs or in signal chains running lots of true bypass pedals. With its high 1 Mohm input impedance and low 100 ohm output impedance, the EarthQuaker Devices Buffer/Preamp will restore your tonal integrity and give you back the clear and dynamic signal you deserve and your amp craves. Want more? Not only will it restore high end loss, this device has a little trick up its sleeve that will also give your low end a subtle, yet powerful, little kick for some added dimension.

• USA Retail Price: $79.00
• Dimensions: 3.6875 x 1.625 x 1.375 inches
• Current Draw: 15 mA
• Input Impedance: 1 MΩ
• Output Impedance: 100 Ω

Buffer/Splitter

A buffer is an important tool to combat tone loss with long cable runs or in signal chains running lots of true bypass pedals. The EarthQuaker Devices Buffer/Splitter uses the same great high 1 Mohm input impedance and low 100 ohm output impedance found in our Buffer/Preamp to restore your tonal integrity! This buffer is designed to both maintain high end and give your low end a subtle, yet powerful, little kick for some added dimension!

What’s better than a single output buffer? A dual output buffer, that’s what! Use the EarthQuaker Devices Buffer/Splitter to split your signal into two and send them anywhere you like! Two amps! Turn a mono signal into a stereo signal! Send one output to your effects and use the other as a dry-through! Remove your tuner from the signal path … you get the idea!

• USA Retail Price: $89.00
• Out of Box Dimensions: 3.6875 x 1.625 x 1.375 inches
• Current Draw: 15 mA
• Input Impedance: 1 MΩ
• Output Impedance: 100 Ω

Flexi Loops™

Flexi Loops is a dual effects loop featuring our world-renowned Flexi-Switch® Technology! Using an effect loop switcher on your pedalboard allows you to easily remove all your effects from the signal path creating a path of least resistance to maintain full tonal integrity when they aren’t in use. Using a dual effect loop with Flexi-Switch Technology allows you to create two distinct loops of effects and then introduce or remove them all on the fly with ease!

You aren’t just limited to using Flexi Loops as a loop switcher! You can use one channel as a tuner out/mute or even a plain old mute. Use the sends to run out to different sources and easily select between them! Flexi Loops uses high quality, soft touch momentary switches for durability and quick action to ensure a lifetime of switching enjoyment.

• USA Retail Price: $129.00
• Out of Box Dimensions: 4.75 x 2.75 x 2.25 inches
• Current Draw: 25 mA
