Earthquaker Gary – Fuzz/Overdrive Pedal – Black

Earthquaker Gary – Fuzz/Overdrive Pedal – Black.

Developed in collaboration with Idles guitarist Lee Kiernan, the EarthQuaker Devices Gary Limited Blackout combines two distinct analog gain circuits in a compact pedal: a modified Gray Channel overdrive and an envelope-controlled pulse width modulation fuzz. This limited Blackout edition features exclusive black artwork while maintaining the same circuitry and functionality as the standard production model.

Key Features

• Limited Blackout Edition: Exclusive black finish with identical electronics to the standard Gary.
• Dual Independent Effects: Separate overdrive and fuzz circuits with independent footswitches for flexible signal routing.
• Gray Channel-Inspired Overdrive: Based on Lee Kiernan’s preferred EarthQuaker Gray Channel settings, featuring diode-free op-amp distortion for everything from clean boost to rich, dynamic overdrive.
• Automatic PWM Fuzz: Envelope-controlled pulse width modulation creates expressive square-wave fuzz textures that respond directly to your picking dynamics.
• Expression Pedal Input: Manually control the fuzz pulse width in real time with an external expression pedal.
• Envelope Override: Insert a dummy plug into the expression jack to disable the automatic envelope and set a fixed pulse width with the Yes! control.
• Flexi-Switch Technology: Supports both latching and momentary true bypass operation without changing any settings.
• Fully Analog Signal Path: Delivers responsive, organic overdrive and fuzz tones with immediate playing dynamics.
