Who Is Earthquaker Devices?

Today we are taking a dive into our filming archives and showing an interview with Jamie Stillman from Earthquaker Devices that was filmed during NAMM 2019. EQD and the Stillmans are some of the best people in the pedal industry and I'm excited to get to share our talk finally! In the comments tell me what your favorite Earthquaker Devices pedal is!

*This episode was great. Woulda been better if you put a tap tempo on it.*

[the_hero]

I love that jhs shouts out other pedal companies other than just upping his own pedals, it's so opposite of what the "business motto is"

[FernandoGuglielmi]

"People don't know what they want." The most sane pedal builders of these times.

1:01 Holy shit! I did NOT expect him to be handsome villain!!!

[evancihon]

Things I love about the JHS channel: interviews make me smile (not like goofy smile just kind of half grin but with a little head shake) the nature and the legit love of making cool things whether it be music or gear. Lastly, the lack of snobbery. Reviewing pedals that are budget or clones and acknowledging the idea that when something sounds good it must be good. I love the fact that you use both your heart and your head in making content.

Glad to see the bass player has his head back.

I plugged in the Bit Commander on bass and it blew my mind, hasn’t left my pedal board. Love EQD, totally unique sounds.

[HzrdsTbccnst]

EQD is a brand I can really get behind. I love the aesthetic, the boundary pushing, all of it. I only have the Plumes right now, but it's my always-on base tone. I can't wait to get the Acapulco Gold but I'm kinda waiting to find one with the Thief Fest graphic. Nothin better than the gunslingers and the pot leaf!

[kostischaveles]

this is the new sales model of the next century. JHS you are geniuses

[OmicronTauKappaClassicDaddy]

Guitar effects community in the 21st century are like musicians in the 60's...all about their art and sharing ideas back and forth. A formula for some great brews to happen.

[WhiteWolf--]

EQD is such an original, unique builder that creates expressive and inspiring pedals. Will always be one of my favs and Jamie is such a cool dude!

[keplerb]

The afterneath is an absolute beast. Specific type of reverb, but so original and deep. Plus it has a wizard. Duh.

[RobertStraughn]

This reverse marketing from JHS is brilliant! Not only does Josh get the word out on awesome pedal companies, but he makes you want to support JHS too! I just bought the EarthQuaker Devices Plumes and 3! JHS mini pedals (whitey tighty, prestige, mini foot fuzz v2). They all sound phenomenal!!

[calebtylershepherd]

My can’t live without pedal is the “Afterneath”. I’ve written, and recorded all of my original songs using that pedal with my Taylor Acoustic. Sometimes subtle and sometimes not so subtlety. I also use it of course with electric how it was meant to be used. Now I stack reverbs, and use it in parts where I want the reverb to freeze and hang in the air on swells, and such. I’ve gotten more use out of that pedal than any other I own, and it’s a key piece of what defines my sound. So thank you Earthquaker!!! Incredible job making pedals that do more than just the norm.

[darlantro]

16:30 full band out of nowhere... Wow, you out a lot of love and effort into this video, it's much appreciated

[billnelson]

Last night I had a long nightmare that finally ended when I discovered the “evil” was the JHS Haunting Mids pedal.

[siavashmassoudi]

Absolutely love Jamie and EQD! He seems so genuine and EQD imo is one of the absolute best pedal companies of today!

[mistergoat]

Great show. I ordered my first EarthQuaker pedal tonight and rewatched this episode to celebrate. Both you fellers feel like my people. Bless you both

[iancpowell]

two of my favorite pedal designers together, made my day on a day where everything seems to be making my day.

[pj_day]

dispatch master was my first EQD pedal and might still be my favorite but I also dearly love the night wire. glad there is a genuine community among great builders such as yourselves ❤️
