Hey bub! Welcome to your new EarthQuaker Devices brand Bellows fuzzdrive! The Bellows

is a back-to-basics, transistor-based dirt device. This two-knob wonder has a whole lot

of character for such a simple, unassuming pedal. It straddles the line between amp-like

grit and fuzzy saturation to create a remarkably vintage, tweed-type tone. Similar to the

volume control of a “non master” amp, the Drive determines how hard the signal hits

the input. At lower drive levels it’s a little wider and grittier. Resist the usual urge to dime

it and keep the Drive low for mellow, amp-like break up. Slowly bring up the Drive and

you’ll eventually end up in blown out fuzz land, having passed a bunch of useful distorted

places in between. It’s pretty much every era of rock n’ roll in a box. While designed for

guitar, Bellows also handles bass extremely well at growling low and scorching high levels.

And if you’re a guitar player that fancies themselves a bass player- then forget it, this is

your

favorite dirt pedal. Each and every bellows is made by a bunch of bearded dudes

and a couple ladies in the comedic drama section of Akron, Ohio.

This device is true bypass and uses relay based “soft touch” switching. Audio will not

pass without power.

Controls

Level: Adjusts the output level by setting the bias voltage of the transistor. A small

amount of noise while dialing this in is perfectly normal.

Drive:

thinner and more clean counter clockwise and thicker with more growl clockwise.

Power: Please use a standard 9 volt DC power supply intended for musical instruments

with a negative center 2.1mm barrel or a 9v Battery

Current Draw: 8ma
