Earthquaker Devices Sound Shank

[Sauniere]

Here's a clip I did. Nothing special, but runs through a variety of settings. Don't know it's typical of the circuit, but it really rolls back in to a great overdrive tone with no weird gating. Initial setting is Sustain on full, Timbre on 2:00-3:00 and Balance on 11:00. Towards the middle I roll back the guitar volume by 2 number increments and then down to "1" and back up to "10". Then I adjust the Timbre and Balance knobs. With everything on full, it feeds back on itself and gets a cool exploding amp sound. Gear is a Reeves Custom 6, Tokai Love Rock, pair of Celestion Golds and a Oktava large diaphragm condenser about a foot away.

Whoo, hey, head's up on that evil screeching at 3:00!!

Yeah, that's with all controls maxed. I'm guessing that's not typical of the original.

[Sauniere]

Nope.

Ain't supposed to do that dude, its self-oscillating! How small is the enclosure, are the in and out jacks real close to one another?

It's a little taller than a MXR box but probably around the same width. Maybe I should email Jamie. It's up for auction and I don't want to pawn off a fucked up pedal.

[Sauniere]

You're selling it already?

I would keep it, but I need to raise funds for the Sola Sound MKII. Plus I got this weird problem where I keep comparing everything to the MKII and if it doesn't sound like a MKII I just don't gel with it.

I like the screeching

I like the screeching

Apparently it was normal. At least with Jamie's version. He said it was due to the amp getting slammed with all of the controls maxed. Definitely made for a cool "exploding amp" sound!
