OVERDRIVE- EARTHQUAKER DEVICES Zoar ___NEW___ Mr Gritty needs a home


Earthquaker Devices  ZOAR
$125.00 USD
This pedal slipped in under the radar. It it is an odd idea that captures the sound one might identify with bar band doing Blues cover tunes in local bar with the guitarist using an old Fuzz pedal pushed into his battered up old slightly underpowered old Fender combo amp. In short you get an amp/Fuzz like combination. 
You get a lot to work with. If you want headroom you can run at 18 volts. You get full EQ with Treble, mids and Bass. It has a Weight control which punches up the lows.
CONCLUSION ___
Well there is nothing else quite like it except perhaps a Rat which it isn't. I am not sure who it fits other than an Indie Alt guy looking for something to call his 'Own Sound'. The overall effect is very old school like an old discontinued Way Huge dirt pedal back when a hobbyist DIY guy found he could sell a few pedals. But come to think of it we got the Rat from guys that did this.
The price is right and the quality build is a given. Maybe something is going on here?
