EarthQuaker Devices Special Cranker

Sonic Character

An all-analog overdrive that uses a unique diode-clipping architecture with selectable germanium or silicon diodes. Germanium mode delivers warm, compressed breakup with smooth highs, while silicon mode provides tighter, more aggressive clipping with pronounced attack. The More control pushes the drive from subtle grit to full saturation, and the Tone control shapes the overall EQ curve. A versatile overdrive that excels at edge-of-breakup tones and dynamic response to picking.
