Earthquaker Devices Swiss Things

Two effect paths with Flexi-Switch

The heart of the Earthquaker Devices Swiss Things is undoubtedly its two effect paths, which help to manage larger pedal collections. Loop 1 comes without a buffer amp and is therefore suitable for overdrive, distortion or fuzz pedals, while Loop 2 comes with a buffer and is suitable for incorporating delay, reverb or modulation effects. As a special feature, both effect paths have not only a relay-controlled true bypass, but also the innovative Flexi Switching, which activates the effect path only as long as the footswitch is pressed.

Clean-Boost and A/B-Box

In addition, the Earthquaker Devices Swiss Things is equipped with a separately switchable Clean Boost, which raises the signal by up to 20 dB if desired, without distorting the sound character. Thanks to the Flexi switch, the boost can only be activated at the moment and thus used to emphasize certain song passages. The end of the EQD Swiss Things signal chain is an A/B box that distributes the output signal to two different amplifiers. Output B is not only galvanically isolated by a transformer, but is also equipped with a phase switch so that unwanted background noise or hum loops are suppressed.
